Imagine being in a situation where the answers given by a 6 or 7 year old, to a complete stranger, about learning that happened 2 years ago (through a global pandemic) can affect your career.
That is the lunacy of where we are with Ofsted.

If you did your job properly though and did retrieval practice every week about every single thing children learned from reception upwards, plus gave them knowledge organisers to read at playtime, you'd have nothing to fear.

Main thing with inspectors was to get them to look at Conell's book & learning. To speak to him, check his understanding. Always worked first few secs great until he asked them if they liked cats. Then he went into cat mode. Made cat noises. Licked his hands (if you were lucky).

I am a teacher in the US. Is everyone quitting an retiring there too? We have an unbelievable teacher shortage here. Everyone has had enough.
