Let's boycott all school threads outside of Education

Honestly guys we are getting a kicking on other threads. We repeatedly have to explain our contracts, holidays, why we are not doing more online, why we should be doing less on ...... it is never ending. So far we have been off for the Easter break plus a max of two weeks. There is a lot of the population that do not need childcare. We are open for key worker children but that gets ignored. All the social distancing issues are ignored. All the ppe requirements are ignored. Now it could be that the trolls just see us as an easy target, hence all the forlough calls. So as a union member, I am requesting that teachers do not have to explain themselves on other threads as we are just fueling the fire. (I have been guilty of this).

So I am calling for a union boycott!

Are the people who start a duplicate thread the same people who don't Google something simple before asking the internet?

LolaSmiles · 21/04/2020 13:29

Or people who post on Facebook asking what time Tesco closes 🤦

Is @appuskidu on this thread? They have just posted the best response I've seen on a schools thread - a (giant) list of the many many threads discussing when schools should return Grin

Brilliant! Which thread?

👏 @Appuskidu well done!

DBML · 21/04/2020 16:07

I’m so happy @ScorpionQueen shared this with me. I read those Mumsnet threads...I’m in tears. I genuinely want to hand in my notice...which I know is crazy because I love my job and Mumsnet has nothing to do with school.
I’m going to have a good read of this thread now and try to calm down.
Thank you everyone xx

BlessYourCottonSocks · 21/04/2020 16:08

Well done @Appuskidu. That's an incredible list.

DBML · 21/04/2020 16:13

I think every school related thread that comes up, I’m just going to click on and immediately hide the thread, so I don’t get drawn in.

RigaBalsam · 21/04/2020 16:15

@DBML

Ignore that goady person on the other thread.
She has a chip on her shoulder and is a major hypocrite at best.

Do not shed a tear over her and her seriously misguided opinion.

Well doneappu ... I note the OP is ignoring you, though! Grin

@RigaBalsam
💐 Thank you

NeurotrashWarrior · 21/04/2020 16:25

Nicely done Appu!

StaffAssociationRepresentative · 21/04/2020 17:11

@DBML - I have watched your fight. Put your hard hat down, kick off your shoes and join us for a cup of tea in the Staffroom.

It is horrendous out there. The pupils are the easy bits

We have achieved much over the past few days and cheer our warring colleagues on. Some parents have left lovely words of support.

And the latest...

‘Who cares if there are multiple threads on it?’

I am going to leave it now.
