This week, we welcome back Lee (better known as Mr. P) who chats to us about all things AI. Lee chats about exactly what AI is, including language models and how to train them, as well as how his platform (TeachMateAI) has been specifically designed to help teachers tackle workload and be as reliable as possible.
We also chatted about the long-lasting effect of austerity and budget cuts on the world of teaching and how teachers are being expected to do more with less.
We each also bring our own story about the brutal but hilarious honesty of children and how teachers really do have to quickly develop thick skin!
It's a fantastic chat with some fun chats and a QandA from our listeners sprinkled in at the end.

April 22, 2024 Ep 59: Should Teachers Be Banned From Displaying Tattoos In The Classroom?
Welcome back to another episode! Firstly, we catch up about our week & the importance of enrichment to children. Dylan discusses his class taking part in a drama workshop & Hayden ponders the difference between knowledge-based and skill-based learning.
We then dive into the topic of tattoos & whether schools are right in effectively banning them from being on display in the classroom. The discussion morphs into a wider one about just exactly what professionalism even is and looks like, and how subjective it seems to be.
Finally, Dylan introduced a quick light-hearted game that is great fun & could be used in the classroom.

April 08, 2024 Ep 57: Making The Most Of Your Time Off: Say NO, Prioritise Tasks & Stop Comparing!
Join us as we have a wide-ranging chat around making the most of your time off.
As teachers, we get a LOT of time off. We know this isn't as straight forward as it sounds. We work HARD & have a lot to do.
So, why do some teachers thrive in their time off, but others feel so bogged down.
Toxic schools, comparing to our peers & teacher guilt all play a part.
Listen to find out how to combat all of these!

April 01, 2024 Ep 56: Sophie B: SATs Insights, The Best Way To Prep & Widespread Cheating (Part 2)
Our chat with Sophie morphed into a marathon conversation, so we are back with week with part 2 that is all about the Key Stage 2 SATs.
Sophie is a SATs data guru and talks us through past patterns and what we are likely to see this year. She shares some super insight into what's needed to pass the tests & what to prioritise.
We talk more deeply about whether testing in general is worthwhile, and the cons to the papers.
We also discuss the open secret in education that is the sheer amount of schools who cheat when it comes to the tests.
Teachers being told to tell children when they've got a question wrong, opening test packs early, or even outright doing questions for the children... You name it, it's happened.
