Join us on the Teach Sleep Repeat podcast as we dive into the toxic ways schools use observations, book looks, and display policies to control and intimidate teachers. We'll share shocking stories sent in by listeners and discuss the negative impact these practices have on educators' mental health and job satisfaction.

But don't worry, we're not just here to complain! We'll also explore healthier ways to hold teachers accountable without resorting to fear and intimidation. Let's work together to create a more supportive and empowering environment for educators.

We are joined by Alastair Campbell, ex-advisor to Tony Blair in the New Labour government & host of the number 1 podcast in the UK "The Rest Is Politics".

Alastair has written two books aimed at school children with the aim of doing what sometimes seems impossible.... getting them interested in politics.

We talk about lowering the voting age, why all politicians aren't the same & what there is to be optimistic about in the current climate with the potential of a new government.

You can find Alastair's books here:

You can tell we've been away on holiday for a week because this episode is particularly scatty!

We reflected on taking our babies away for a week, how many Kripsy Kremes we consumed in a week & the importance of sports day all within one episode......

The bulk of the episode was a reflection about how to balance parenting and teaching. It was a good one!

In this week's episode, we (eventually) talk about what advice we would give brand new teachers if we had the chance. As experienced teachers, we have plenty of ideas that we wish we knew sooner, and understand how older staff can sometimes be a bit..... Negative about the job. Here's how to mould your enthusiasm and get the most out of the profession as a new teacher. We also discussed a crazy anonymous story from this week that Hayden found... It has to be heard to be believed! Hope you enjoy the show. Follow us on Instagram and let us know what you think: @teachsleeprepeatpodcast
