I’m Polish . Very sadly I thought my English is so poor I couldn’t understand what she was offering but it turned out some of you either ! What a relief!
The trouble with a lot of schoolteachers is that they're used to being surrounded by children, and get too used to the idea that they're the smartest person in the room and everyone else should just do whatever they say. It's not really in their nature to have to justify themselves to anyone.
I also notice how they develop a 'way of speaking' - it comes across as patronising to adults but authoritative to children - the problem is when you're pitching to adults but talking down to them like children!
As a teacher myself, I can see she's fallen into the trap of many teachers-TTT (TEACHER TALKING TIME) Parent teacher meetings must be pretty one sided...
From what I can gather, she is offering pictorial representations of math questions, like instead of "what are 3 oranges plus 2 oranges" , u would have pictures of 3 and 2 oranges. This is useful, because ur child won't have to think as much, in a class whose sole purpose is to develop thinking skills.
@@siddhanthravichandran3245 I understood the pictorial representations concept it was more the buisness model side. How she makes money out of it and how it was a proper business with some structure
I work in education and we laminate our own materials usually. Not sure if I've missed something here but it seems she has just laminated a load of paper and called it a business!
2:35 Deb-"I was hoping to hear some numbers" Chris-"I can give you lots of numbers." Anyone else get the sense that she would've resumed her excessively long pitch and possibly divert into a maths lesson if Deborah hadn't cut her off?😆😄
@@Myplop Yeah when he's not causing an entrepreneur a nervous breakdown when his "investment" turned out to be a loan where he got to keep the equity after he was repaid. And also that time he tried to buy a baby from a poor family for a few hundred quid.
I honestly think children would love to see chalk boards in the classroom again. Remember being asked to go and write something on the chalk board or wipe the board clean....exciting times. Plus you got to talk when the teachers turned thier backs.
I love how the cameras kept going to the Dragons while she was presenting her pitch, Theo - looked annoyed, Peter looked bored, and everyone else was falling asleep :D :D😂😂
Honestly, I was amazed she had turned over any profit. What is it with these people and their basic products in the UK that still generate sales of a couple of hundred thousand? I honestly think if I tried to do this exact same thing in Australia people would thumb their nose and say they could do it themselves. In fact, most primary school teachers here make similar things as a normal part of their effort to teach the curriculum. I think I should quit my business here and start selling in the UK.
So, it’s just laminated flash cards then. How are these learning aids any different from resources parents and teachers have already been using already for decades?.
@@hughm1383 you obviously can't do the math on your end, I'll help 34-2020= 1986 so around 1991 the teachers used laminated letters, numbers and shapes. Can you follow that? Or should I make it more simple for you?

8:20 Duncan: “They use a number 2 and a number 8 and add them together to make 10!” Woman: “It’s more than that.” Duncan: “So you’re saying they make 11???”
Basically the same teaching materials you'd find in children's classrooms but for wild prices. E.g. 24 bats with "they" and "my" on them for almost £100!

Every teacher is the same in the Den where they think they're gonna ace it because they're use to presenting to a group of people and end up waffling on and on like its a class.
Because they're so passionate and so well knowledgeable, they assume the business side doesn't matter. This is what the Dragons need to grasp, this is the value the Dragons bring.
@@TheManInBlueFlames But many people that come into the Den are passionate, still got to have a strong business mind though, these are investors not customers.
You don't know what they've been through. They could have sat there for 10 hours like the three guys in the last video did before they entered the den and got on air.
You can tell the difference between primary and secondary though, primary teachers are hyper and are used to talking to children whereas secondary teachers are used to young adults and having a 2 way conversation....everytime a dragon spoke this woman was not listening but simply waiting for her turn to speak
Ahhh, I was a teacher, so I know that the danger for teachers is talking AT people instead of talking to or with them. This behaviour starts in the early days of teacher training when a nervous beginner tries to dominate a class by force of will: looking stern, giving firm instructions, bulldozing objections and following an inflexible lesson plan. Some teachers later become softly-spoken, patient, sympathetic, even funny but others stay in the robotic talk-but-not-listen mode which I saw here.
She's clearly a primary school teacher from the 60's when 'teaching' was shutting your students down, rather than engaging in useful dialogue. A concept she'll never understand.
The trouble with teachers is that they 'are' patronising with children, they seem to forget that they were once children themselves. Children in their natural state want to make friends with everyone and when a teacher talks down to them by being patronising (even nasty at times), then children can feel this and you alienate them from you which then hinders their learning and causes other problems...

Good catch. As a part time substitute teacher I have noticed that too.

Yes, I recall there have been several teachers pitch in the den and they were all very much like her.
I watched this pitch over ten years ago and didn't know what she was offering. I'm re-watching this today and still don't know what she's offering.
She's offering 8+2= 10 and 7+3=10 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I swear it starts by saying it's a sweet business but she's taking about math
@@leeshanpillay1253 but with "copywritten" yellow stickers!!

This is the kind of pitch where the Den needs a trapdoor and each Dragon has a big lever by their chair to activate it.
Don’t give Janine that kinda power
When o read this comment I was like Yhh. And it’s exactly as expected
😂😂😂
Yeah and for especially teachers
But did she say why she should not be fired without using the letter E as in the Simpsons and Mr. Burns?

This is probably the most diabolical pitch I’ve ever seen and that’s saying a lot
Someone needs to teach this teacher this to do a business pitch in front of entrepreneurs, not give another lecture as if she’s in a classroom.
This is one of the goofiest pitches top to bottom. I NEED THE UNEDITED VERSION. ALL 30+ MINUTES
Wish they would givr us the full footage of the classic pitches - this onr, Rory and his seaweed, the slimy water coolsr guys...
It was probably an hour or more.
What does this woman think she invented? When I was a kid, there was **DOUBLE LAMINATED** crap like that all over the classroom walls
I hope my family or friends would not hesitate to tell me when I have a crap idea!
She's one of those teachers who is a control freak. Shame the dragons don't have a trapdoor.
