#RugbyScoop | ITALY COMPLETELY ROBBED! There’s no way this is not a try. Hollie Davidson should overrule the TMO here based on the evidence of physics. The assistant referee is also in a good position to make the call.

Johns: "Invest in your juniors, put a whole lot of money into kids, identify the best kids at 13, 14, 15 & 16, teach them a style of play that is unique to the north of England, piss off all the imports coming in who are reserve-graders in Australia." patreon.com/posts/andrew-joh…

How do you establish these meaningful relationships with students everyone seems to say are the golden ticket in teaching? Erm….. try teaching! seriously, just teach! Passion for your subject radiates - children recognise it and hook into that passion. Providing a safe learning space - you consistently provide an environment for learning, through fair and consistent boundaries, being assertive when you need to be. You teach really good lessons, often - Lessons that spring out, stories that might draw laughter but stay in the memory, activities and resources that are genuinely cool, thinking about the learning experience. The myth is that the relationships are more often than not forged through being overly nice or like another friend. Never saying no. Having banter. Caving into demands. Forfeiting actual teaching preferring to just have chats, trying to turn every moment into a therapy session that a child may not want or need. This is a myth. Teaching is an amazing job and if it’s done well, an ‘over time’ default side effect will be the relationships that outsiders tell you are the key to everything. Good night!

"Things that did no good whatsoever" Genius @olicav from Ben Newmark. Most US schools make teachers do every one of these! Not exaggerating.
