A topic just for us teachers?

[Themumsnot]

Thank you, Mumsnet! Shall I start the introductions.
Hello all, I'm a Secondary English NQT.

Primary PGCE last year as a very 'mature' student, but doing an extra final placement right now to finish ticking the boxes. Currently in yr 6 - eek!

Secondary English and SEN. I found my mug covered in mould at our partnership school down the road. Truly, someone must have driven there with tea in my mug and then left it there! 9th year!

Thank you, Mumsnet! Shall I start the introductions. Hello all, I'm a Secondary English NQT.

Glad you like it.

Enjoy!

Thank you MNHQ! And themumsnot for setting the ball rolling.

I'm Secondary English with a TLR for Active Citizenship - prefects and Pupil Council and whatnot. Starting my fifth year. Feeling a bit demoralised at present, truth be told!

Secondary DT (now a marginalised subject thanks to lovely MR G)

15 years (eek) on the chain gang

Our pleasure. Oh, and if you've a Q about our education system for Lord Adonis (who used to be Minister for Schools), do please join our live webchat tomorrow at midday (Friday 21st Sept) or, if you can't make it then, we'd really welcome some advance questions on the thread.

I know. Apols about that .

But time not really of our choosing in the end...

30 years of Maths and SENCO and HoY.

Now supply and loving it

FE here and none of us have any mugs at all coz we're not allowed a kettle in our staff room - if you want a drink you have to fight the mob in the canteen, your reward for negotiating your way to the front of the queue is your drink is free

secondary MFL here!

Secondary English here, 12 years, had a day which was partly awful and partly lovely in my London school. V pleased to have a thread to meet you all on! (waves)

You OK, TwllBach?

Could you get Michael Gove on HelenMumsnet? I'm sure we'd make time to talk to him We'd follow the talk guidelines, honest guv.

Hmmm....Gove...... I'd enjoy that Universal

Don't worry MNHQ, Oranges didn't mean 'sadistic'; she meant 'seductive'. No really, she did. She reeeeeealllly wants to talk nice and maturely to that nice Mr Gove too. Go on, get him on, you know it makes sense [sweet smile]

I'm not sure my blood pressure could cope with the slithy Gove on here!

Primary in Scotland, just back from mat leave. I don't drink hot drinks either but my glass occasionally disappears.

Hang on...I'll just change my identity....I'll be back before the bell goes.

Secondary drama, geography and PSHRE.

Communal mugs but arguments about sandwich fillings in my staff room farking public school problems

I am just feeling like I'm having a rotten week that's all! I feel like for the most part all I've done is faff about and dole about punishment. I'm assuming I will feel less clueless soon?? lie to me please

School Counsellor here. Bringing my own mug and a tin of biscuits for comfort food.

Yes of course you can have a biscuit.
