My sideways step from Teaching to Healthcare is going wonderfully. While I miss the classroom, kids, and maths, the work/life balance is back to healthy and, frighteningly, it is far less stressful working for the ambulance service than working in education.

@jobrassington 29, just because I think you look younger than me! My students have guessed my age at 24 and 36 - which as an average is actually really good

I hope, as a classroom teacher, I have the confidence to stick to my guns and speak up. I'm damn well going to try.

Also feeling the biggest indicator of good EDI, like many things, is not what you say but what you do. Seems a lot of talk that boils down to sweeping things under the carpet, or figurehead roles mounted on paper thin walls.

I think the biggest lie in teacher training has been 'This is the hardest part'. I'm hoping the same isn't true of 'It gets much easier next year'...

Could someone please just decide if it's EDI or DEI though?

@DrAdamBrett Absolutely, just really enjoyed the first day of Primary! I did a Primary placement at university and it made me seriously wonder about going into Primary instead of Secondary back then, and one of the class teachers here used to be a secondary teacher.

@JakeGMaths Just trying out infinity whiteboard with my laptop and Galaxy S4 Lite. Both connected to the same room on Chrome. The two PDFs in the center were uploaded on the tablet but only show on the laptop? The left PDF was uploaded on the laptop, shows on both.
