Another Q&A episode and this one has plenty to get stuck into. Dylan and Hayden answer your questions on some topics that clearly struck a nerve.

First up, a heartfelt question from an ECT who has been quietly doing an entire subject leader role under the guise of "shadowing." Dylan and Hayden call it out for exactly what it is, and offer some genuine advice on how to advocate for yourself without burning bridges.

Then things get warmer. The boys share their career highlights from inside the classroom and it turns out the moments that stick are never about data. Think handwritten notes from kids, a half court basketball shot that somehow went in, and one girl who ran across a shopping centre years later just to say hello.

There is also a brilliant discussion about phones in schools and whether Ofsted should be marking a school down for a single student having their phone out. Plus, a slightly awkward question about SLT leaders who have their own private fridge and kettle so they never have to enter the staffroom.

They round things off with what they have genuinely enjoyed since leaving the classroom. Turns out, not feeling absolutely exhausted every weekend is quite nice.

Funny, honest, and never dull. This is Teach Sleep Repeat.
