Pointless Topics

Thanks all,

I’m a teacher and the role that’s come up is head of year, I’m going to catch up my head of year tomorrow who has become more effective as the year has gone on, see how that goes then catch up with the head of KS3 who I get on really well with.

I’d wanted to go into leading curriculum rather than pastoral, my head of department (department of 3) is retiring at the end of year after 30 years and the other in my department is doing it for the sake of continuity but doesn’t plan to do it long term, so there’s that. I’ve been there 3 years so I probably need to show abit of intent rather than stagnating

Pros of promotion:
£3k TLR, 3 hours a fortnight off timetable, no tutor group, I’ve been a house lead this year and enjoyed that

Cons of promotion:
Only 3 hours of timetable a fortnight, lots of parental communication and meetings, most of which is a petty waste of time, not sure I’m that keen on it.

Update - spoke to my head of year earlier and had some really useful input,

Just had a phone call with the head of KS3, who was encouraging.

Will put together an application tomorrow before heading to the skatepark on an early finish.

Wondering how concerned I should be about this.

Got this email. It looks like an all image email so looked very phishy.

I literally can’t remember ever even using Betfair. If i set it up it would be years and years ago.

I went to betfair in my browser (obviously not clicking on anything in the email), pressed forgot my password, got a code, set up a new password etc…was easy. No mention of my account being unsuspended or anything…just a message saying back of the net. All done.

Looked in here and none of these are me:

You can see a few successful ones.

Luckily my card isn’t saved on there so there is nothing they could really do I guess…

I set up two factor authentication so that should be the end of it i guess for this.

How can you find out if your details are out on the dark web in a data breach?

I like how you’ve thrown down the gauntlet to the scammers by publishing your email address there for all to see.

sorry for deleting my post. Yeah, I called them. Just said I wasn’t well. I think there’s a good chance I’ll be ok as long as I’m not flakey from now.

I’d like to keep this job for sure and genuinely feel bad.

They said it’s ok, just look after myself. Such a relief. Not gonna let that happen again. Just off on my bike to the climbing centre.

Does anyone know what font is this?
It’s one of the big standard ones I think

Helevetica Neue Extended or Black? The N looks like it’s in italics.

Nah, it’s just Arial Black. You can tell with the inside gaps of the S. Helvetica/Swiss have almost equal top and bottom and Arial have a smaller one on top.
