I didn't get FHEA

I've been asked to revise and resubmit.

Apparently I needed to include more about the mechanics of how I teach. OK fine.

I also showed no evidence of awareness of the wider context in which HE operates. For example, I should have talked about why progression and retention are key to learners, their experience and the university.

Like, that's a kicker. That's all I frickin' think about. Because I want my students to have a better undergrad experience than I did. I don't want them to end up like me. But I didn't want to talk about my self-harming and suicide attempt at Imperial College because I didn't want to trauma dump. To fail because my V4 isn't good enough hurts. It really hurts.
