I teach at a British school overseas. We have a staffroom and the head comes in every day before tutor time, at first break and at lunchtime. He is a bit of an awkward chap and tends to sit or stand alone or sometimes someone feels sorry for him and makes some small talk.
My colleagues who have arrived recently from the UK think it´s weird / inappropriate that the head comes in to the staffroom - on the grounds that we should be able to talk "openly" in there, i.e. criticise management without fear of repercussions (or mention how hungover we are...)
What do you think?
