to be annoyed with MNHQ's description of the Schools closed thread in Discussions of the Day?

[ThumbleBells]

IF you'd bothered to read the thread, MNHQ, you would have seen that it's NOT the teachers who make the decision to close schools, so it's pretty poor of you to call teachers "snow wimps".

I'm still annoyed over when you said ginger-bashing was "acceptable" as well (it isn't), but this is getting silly.

A bit more sense and sensitivity in your descriptions please - people are obviously posting on these threads for them to be discussions of the day without you being all contentious about it!

cor,that's an old 'un

i hope someone has told OP to learn to read. then she will see that MNHQ have asked a question, not made a judgment.

seriously you need to take yourself outside and give yourself a good talking to.

LOL,how exactly does one give self a good talking to

picture it

ThumbleBells:Righty ho me i have made a bit of a tit of myself on mn and it has to stop

ThumbleBells:but but...

ThumbleBells:No excuses for lame posts i wont tell you again my gerl

Hi ThumbleBells - our intention was more to raise the question of whether teachers are snow wimps or not than to assert that they are indeed snow wimps - hence the question mark. It is a question asked on the thread (albeit, as you say, refuted by many)
But we take your point and definitely didn't mean to offend, so apologies to teachers - we don't think you are wimps at all (snow or otherwise).

So tell us, all you would-be Sun newspaper subs, how can we improve it whilst keeping it eye-catching and fun ?

See, I'm a teacher and I'm not at all offended by the title.
I just assumed that anyone who thinks that teachers make the decisions about when and if to close schools is a lazy and ignorant individual who hasn't bothered to check facts before ranting.
Like blaming immigrants for Global Warming.

Personally i think you should ban Thumblebells and torch her PC for daring to question MNHQ and a bit of swearing would be quite entertaining too if you could please.

like the mn quip.keep berating them teachers- keeps everyone off the hcp

Actually ive changed my mind it should be 'are MNHQ wimps?' for pandering to Thumblebells!

Fight, fight, fight.

I have bee too busy getting pissed in anticipation of a day off tomorrow to even read it tbh.

Is this better:

Schools closed: do teachers have no Snow Balls?

I think it should have been
Twinset the teacher ate my hamster on yet another day off work because of snow.

"Like blaming immigrants for Global Warming."

Especially when we know it's all down to pirates

blimey I go to bed and look what happens! Blame it on being some ridiculous hour in the sleep-deprived morning. (it was for me)

Justine - no worries. Thanks for answering!

I know it was phrased as a qu but someone had to think up the term since it hadn't been used on the thread and the teachers were already getting enough of a hard time on that thread imho.

Actually, if you teach RE, Wastwinsetandpearls, have a look at the Pastafarians.

My year 10s thought it was piss funny

The flying spaghetti monster is a regular in my classroom. I even have a model of him.

I should've known... forgive me, Wastwinsetandpearls

I like the idea of pastafarians though, we are looking at the intelligent design debate. I may show my AS group.
Thanks.

Ginger teachers... discuss...

(but be gentle)

They ought to be banned IMO.

You're mean !

I am one, shockers - like all lazy teachers, I just want some (more) days off.

How may days off would I get for being banned?

It all depends... would your ginger TA have to be off also??

Justine - To answer your question - just put a pair of tits on Page 3
