Teachers: 3 words

[Lolaloveslemons]

Schools are open & children are in full time!

If you had to describe the first few weeks in 3 words what would they be?

Mine: zero social distancing!

[HarryBlackberry1]

No social distancing

[enyemaka]

And a slightly terrifying update to my three words:

Lots staff quitting.

We don’t have enough staff in some core departments already. We can’t recruit as we have a shit reputation and always have jobs going. The cover staff we get are useless not a slur on temp staff but slt pick the cheapest and it’s always bad currently worried about how much worse retention and recruitment will get when staff don’t feel safe. grumble over, sorry!

[Leafy12]

You All Rock. (parent). Thank you all for what you do.

[TwoZeroTwoZero]

Haven't worked yet (supply teacher)

[wantmorenow]

Exhausted anxiety resignation

[SweepTheHalls]

Parents keep complaining.
Marking is challenging.
Already self isolating

[PotteringAlong]

Bit overwhelming really

[Lolaloveslemons]

Lots of absence

[SuitedandBootedbutNowheretoGo]

Still. No. Work.

@TwoZeroTwoZero have you had any assignments yet?

[monkeytennis97]

@hippohector

Social distancing impossible

Matter of time

Before I’m ill

Transmit to parents

They could die

It’s very scary

This absolutely this

[RepeatSwan]

Thinking of teachers

[Lulu1919]

Happy scary tiring

[Jeremyironseverything]

[Lolaloveslemons]

Jeremy
The virus? Or ‘’I’ve got it’ as in ‘Everything is in hand’?

[DipSwimSwoosh]

Brilliant being back

[LittleEsme]

Tracked and Traced.

[SnugglySnerd]

Been tested already

[mizu]

Exhausting, stressful, fun

[Smurf123]

Calpol before school 😡

[ChristmasinJune]

Better than expected.

I was braced for chaos and drama and it's been suspiciously calm..... probably jinxed it now!!

[IndecentFeminist]

Snotty, happy, busy

[FlouncerInDenial]

Great thread, OP

Not a teacher but in schools

Parents already moaning
Absences going up
Kids are lovely
Roll on summer!

[theviewfromhalfwaydown]

I'm not a teacher but a ta in a special school.

So much snot

Dropping like flies

No social distancing

Love being back

Really happy kids

Stop licking me
