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.

“You’re going to have to supply your own coffee beans. Our budget won’t stretch to provide them for you.”
In the words of COFSTED – “Outstanding!”
The sketch got a big tick from viewers.
Wow spot on 😂

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.

Don’t forget the customer doesn’t actually want to drink the coffee. you have to convince them to.
