Full marks and a gold star for this very funny ‘If Other Jobs Were Like Teaching’ sketch
Lee Parkinson, better known as Mr P – @ict_mrp – is a teacher and Education specialist, whose goal is to raise pupil attainment and make primary teachers’ working lives easier and more productive through the creative use of ICT.
He reaches a wide audience including those outside the field of education via his very funny social media sites and the podcast ‘Two Mr Ps in a Pod(Cast)’, which he records with his brother Adam – another teacher.
With strikes by the NEU set to resume next week unless the government makes a serious offer to increase pay and improve conditions, public sympathies remain largely with the teachers – and this might just help keep it that way.
In true TikTok style, Mr P managed to tell us the conditions teachers face – without telling us the conditions teachers face.

And on Friday when you are done, you need to take 40 empty coffee cups home and rate how well they were drunk, 3 A4 sheet reports per cup will do.
