Just discovered I'm pregnant, I don't have a T.A.

Congratulations, but non-sequitur?

I'm not preganant, and i do have full time T.A. (Y2).
I teach in a one form entry Primary. R, Y1, Y2, Y5 and Y6 have full time TAs. Y3 and Y4 have to share a TA between them. We've been told that if any TA leaves, there will be no replacement.

Why do you need a TA?

SureIusedtobetaller · 14/04/2018 13:14

Nope. One TA in ks2.
We have 1:1 tas though.

Depends on the context of your class!

Pregnant.... TA not sure I follow, is it an issue with popping to the toilet as and when you need to? That must be tricky!

So we can narrow out who the father is. We know it wasn’t the TA.

Appuskidu · 14/04/2018 18:48

Are your two statements related?!

I don’t have a TA, no.

What exactly is the problem?

elephantoverthehill · 14/04/2018 18:49

TA - time of arrival eg due date?

Lowdoorinthewal1 · 14/04/2018 19:05

Yes, 4 and another teacher, but I'm not pregnant. Does it still count??

You can rule out the whole of the Territorial Army?! Wink

I've got 3

You want to share?

Cicera · 15/04/2018 21:40

We have 1.8 TAs shared between 3 classes.

millimat · 15/04/2018 22:03

I'll share @piebarm Grin
I have none.

piebarm · 15/04/2018 23:39

@millimat you can have one a week on Tuesday for 30mins

We have one TA between 3 classes. At times it's impossible. On duty days I don't wee all day.

Having a TA would significantly improve the odds of my staying in the job.
