Yeah, you can blame me for the Pantosaurus earworm!

In over a decade of teaching hundreds of 7-11 year olds, I’ve discussed my sexuality with any of them a grand total of zero times. I look at libs of TikTok and sit their cringing at everything, from the unprofessional grooming and clothes to the absolutely ridiculous things they brag about telling their pupils.

It's a good and cute earworm. Caught myself singing the tune again today. No regretti spaghetti.

If one of your colleagues turned up on Libs of Tiktok for the wrong reasons, would the school take action?

Yep. In England we have fairly strict rules about professional conduct and bringing the profession into disrepute (education is devolved so each of the home countries has different rules, but I would think they’d be broadly similar in Scotland, Wales and NI). So any even slightly dodgy social media posts/admissions will cause disciplinary proceedings of some form. Depending on what was said in the posting you could be formally reprimanded, fired and if it were serious enough struck off the teaching register (it’d have to be pretty fucked up to warrant being struck off though).

Getting featured on LoTT will almost certainly be bad for your career, especially if a paper like the Daily Mail picks it up…if that happens you’re almost certainly going to lose your job.

Taking action is good.

Man i wish my teachers had conduct standards, especially the ones who threw my books out because i didn't answer the question about patriotism correctly when I was 7-8 years old.
