to say thank FUCK for that.

The end of term. Thank fuck.

That is all.

I'm a teacher.

YOU CAN DO IT Doreen

Broke up today! Very sad to see colleagues leave, very relieved to be getting a break. I appear to be experiencing some sort of Stckholm Syndrome though. I've spent all evening filling out my planner for next year and copying out my timetable.

hahaha fuzzy STEP AWAY FROM THE PLANNER

Enjoy - you've earned it!

There's a really horrid thread on here now slagging off teachers. Wipeopen popped in, but backed away quite early.

I read all 9 (!) pages before posting recommending that THIS thread is the best party in town tonight!

Passes out chocs and wine to all the teachers.

Enjoy your break, I have met with my DD's Y1 teacher several times this year and I've had my eyes opened to how much work teachers do.

Hats off to you, as I couldn't do it. I'm really looking forward to the holidays as I'm being a SAHM for my little girl and I can't wait

I didn't bother with the anti-teacher thread. My DSis is a teacher and I know she puts the hours in during term time, plus I've been drafted into helping her in holidays to prep the classroom.

I thought about doing a PGCE as I have a shiny English Literature degree and I don't want to do nursing any longer, but I figure the grass will not be greener in another industry overseen by the powers that be.

Do you think DD1's teacher would be offended by the gift of a bottle of gin? Or naice wine?

Gin would be an ACE present. But I really like gin....

Enjoy your well deserved holiday, OP.
Sending lots of and virtual gin

Enjoy your holiday, OP.

Your comment on the other thread was fucking horrible, Fatmomma99.

I'm a TA.

I did have Gin bought for me by the fab teacher I work with grin].

I love the thought of seven weeks off .

Plus my children are all older, yippee!

If you feel that way, then why are you a teacher in the first place? I mean me personally I couldn't teach, mainly because I find other people's children (and their parents) rather annoying, but i'd certainly expect a teacher (especially one that was educating my own children) to feel passionate towards their job and would be rather offended if you were my children's teacher and i'd of read your comment!

Just looked at the comment by Fatmomma, there are no words for such posts but highlighting them is useful for a shitlist.

Why can't I find the comment?!

Ive got two teacher friends coming over tonight for a massive takeaway session, they seriously need it

twilight why on earth would you be offended? It is because I am passionate about my job that I work bloody hard and consequently am exhausted by the end of term and thoroughly look forward to the break!

Or is it the swearing? ????
