Head teacher suspended for calling teachers lazy

[Viviennemary]

Daily Mail reporting that Head Teacher Pauline Wood has been suspended for saying some teachers have done nothing during lockdown and she read out complaints from parents. She took the school from unsatisfactory to outstanding. But not sure she should have been publicly bashing teachers so openly. Comments are quite amusing.

Well in our school it was the same story - some great teachers and some lazy teachers. About 50:50. We'll have to deal with the fall out. No idea why the Head teacher who is normally brilliant failed to lead - she let the teachers decide how much was needed - quite a few of them decided - not much!

I didn't realise there was another thread. I absolutely agree with you Usererrormessage. And reading the MN comments over the last weeks there is a huge difference in the amount of support given. Some schools/teachers wonderful others doing next to nothing. Had to laugh at the comment that somebody knows a teacher who spends 10 minutes setting work then goes fishing every day. Hope this isn't typical.
