In At Break

Ho ho ho, we are talking about COVID again. Today we talk about the best bits, the worst bits and Mr T tells the story of the nativity play that went wrong!

We had the joy of hosting Yogi J, a yoga teacher who teaches adults and children. We talked about everything from the benefits of yoga, the difficulties of teaching yoga to children and whether Boris Johnson would be any good at yoga. Thank you so much for checking out the episode!

Mr T wins the flip and asks the question: Are these education myths fact or fiction? Mr T asks should children hit back when they get hit and does bullying make billionaires? 

Mr T wins the flip and asks the question: What are your strongest teaching principles? Mr B spits absolute fire, Mr T potentially gets himself fired and many hills are built for us to die on. 

Mr B wins the flip and asks the question: Do teachers have favourites? We talk about how we deal with certain pupils, if disliking pupils ever happens and a new recipe is created by Mr B's pupils. The TED talk that Mr T referenced can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFnMTHhKdkw&ab_channel=TED

We had the joy of hosting Mr D, a biology teacher who teaches in secondary education. We talked about everything from the infamous condom on a banana lesson, dislocated jaws from oral sex and how Mr D approaches sex education with his classes.

Mr B wins the flip and asks the question: How have you adapted your teaching? We talked about Mr Brian, Mr Broccoli and trying to figure out what cornflakes were made out of. 

Mr T wins the flip and asks a question from a fan: Would you be able to fail a student? We talked about what causes someone to fail, detentions in school and ridiculous medical claims on student forms. 

Thanks for coming back for Season 3!

Another academic year down and so, another season down! Thank you so much for checking out the podcast, if you want to skip to the highlights, they are at around the 17 minute mark. Enjoy your summer and we will see you in September. 

The fans win the flip and asks: Should private schools do more to help state schools?  We discuss Mr T's ethics, motivation for helping and whether public opinion matters. Mr T ends the podcast with a heartwarming tale about The Bog Baby. If you would like to send in a question, you can at [email protected].
