@grant_h Yeah. Maybe. It is such a weird one. 5 people have said take the job, just for the CV. Some people said if I say no, I am likely to be knocked back for anything else because SLT are historically "spiteful"... I am still in my first year there (teaching 15 years) and just a mushroom who just wants to get my job done... Such a weird place to be.

@grant_h Current HoD contract terminated for next year with no explanation as to what they were/were not doing. New HoD appointed (via nepotism) and started to hire/decide for the next year despite current HoD still HoD. Promoted HoD then saw a deputy position so applied and then got that, leaving science HoD position empty. As the school is having a mass exodus of staff (a lot of International schools have this happen every 5 or so years) I would be the only other science teacher who has experience in the school as it is almost a full department re-hire. I like some SLT and am not scared to say how I feel, but the red flags are fairness/treatment based....

Hello out there. If a "you can be it by default" HoD position falls in your lap, but the reason it falls is due to questionable SLT management decisions... Do you take the job?
I have many red flags but is "doing it for the money" worth it?
All comments appreciated. @edutooters

@jeffowski As a teacher of IB and the high school students being told to access academic and peer reviewed journals in order to get the top marks in their IA and EE essays... This is great help. Thanks!

I love Elle Cordova and her clever, funny videos. This one is for all my writer and editor frends.

@MFDOOMALLCAPS Have you seen barb wire death yet? Which one was it in?

Anna boosted

i’m so old, i remember when google returned search results

@MFDOOMALLCAPS Not sure which one it is, maybe 4, but my fave death in the whole series is a guy sliced into pieces by a section of barb wire fence that explodes and flies into him... 👌

Spent an hour on Google Sheets trying to replicate stuff I do on Excel.. I learned about the LINEST function! Still no personalised error bars.

*Sheets is the only data program available for my students at the school I work at.

@MrBerard@pilote.me Haha. I am the oldest then 😄

Anyone using a food/macro tracker app on Android that does not steal every bit of data, or needs a smart watch tracker? Anything FOSS? I have been looking but can't find anything that suits.

@MrBerard@pilote.me Do you think they know she was Foxxy Cleopatra in Austin Powers??
