In a world where children grow up and move on each year, there’s something comforting about repeats of your favourite TV show.
Turn on the TV at any hour and on some channel or other you’ll find reruns of The Simpsons, Friends and all of those home and garden makeover shows where Linda Barker, Alan Titchmarsh or Kirsty and Phil will be turning some mess or other around (if only they did schools too, eh?).
So as a bit of fun on a Friday we thought we’d round up a bunch of the best Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe GIFs to bring some of that familiar comfort to the classroom. If you ever wondered what teaching life would look like as Friends episodes, look no further.
The one where it’s Monday morning already
The one where Ofsted shows up
The one where you first braved your new look in front of the kids
The one where you first braved your new look in front of your colleagues
The one with the week-long CPD course
The one with the budget crisis
The one when they need a volunteer to cover playground duty
The one where someone stole your lunch
The one where you stole someone else’s lunch
The one with the behaviour management training
The one where you find out what happened after the Christmas party
The one with the grammar feedback
The one where you finally finished marking
The one when it’s exam results day
The one when you were packing the classroom up at the end of the year
