You are most welcome to this school staff support thread to get us through stressful times. Baiters and bashers can jog on somewhere else.

If you are not staff and just have a general education query please start your own thread.

You can play here only if you are a member of one the following groups-

-ABBA - anti bashers and baiting association
-SWAB - school workers against bashers
-SWOT - school workers opposing teacherbashers
-STARS - schoolworkers together against ranting + slurs

Other requirements for staff room entry include the ability to find the staff room, the ability to find a clean mug in the staff room, knowledge of the photocopier codes and the ability to sniff out where the toffee vodka is hidden.

@mosswalk

And the poster who didn’t want to send her Y1 child back, but having watched a BBC piece (or propaganda) about what it’s like in a completely different country with a much lower death toll, being taught in much smaller class sizes, with much better resources and much larger buildings, is now feeling reassured!

Could be wishful thinking on my behalf. I am annoyed at the horrors that piled into the resignation thread - poor Op doesn't want to read all of that rubbish.

Just popping my head in. I haven't ventured into the staffroom much before and have always been a MN lurker but wanted to say hi and that I too am fed up of the constant teacher bashing.

Sorry

So there is a thread singing the praises of schools in Denmark, which is doing pretty much exactly what we are asking for.

But by asking for it we are being negative?

You couldn't make this shit up.

CarrieBlue · 12/05/2020 21:25

It’s been posted there to be deliberately goady, the level of total unrealism and utter lack of any idea about what schools are actually like in this country is hilarious. And if any of us comment with a dose of realism we’ll be shot down as negative/workshy/lazy (delete as necessary) - I think it’s definitely one to avoid.

pfrench · 12/05/2020 21:27

I went and shat on the rainbows.

DreamingofBrie · 12/05/2020 21:27

The Danish schools thread has been taken down. Message from HQ was that they believed it to be deliberately goady (well durr Hmm).

CarrieBlue · 12/05/2020 21:31

They’re on the ball tonight, well done MNHQ

CallmeAngelina · 12/05/2020 21:32

Well, it seems as if there's another one to take its place then.
It just doesn't ring true. Have a look at my link above.

LilyMumsnet · 12/05/2020 21:33

Hi all

Little reminder - please don't make this thread about other current running threads (or not running).
All that tends to do, is start disagreements. We will delete the thread if it continues.

CallmeAngelina · 12/05/2020 21:34

Yes, Apusskidu, that's the one.

FrippEnos · 12/05/2020 21:34

pfrench

Me too :)

They are getting quite annoyed that posters have invaded their happy thread and posted real life.

CarrieBlue · 12/05/2020 21:34

It’s still there and still as deliberately goady 😡

Appuskidu · 12/05/2020 21:35

Looks like you’ve been deleted, callme

I’m tempted to move back to TES.

DreamingofBrie · 12/05/2020 21:36

Sorry, it must have been a different one that was deleted Blush.

pfrench · 12/05/2020 21:38

Lilymumsnet - can you get on them quicker then please. Literally 5 or more threads a day telling teachers they are shit. Daffodil, xenia, healthyandhappy - every time they post, they do something deliberate to troll.

This is literally the worst thing I've experienced in my career, I'm sick of hearing the opinions of morons about it.

RigaBalsam · 12/05/2020 21:39

Agree with Pftench

pfrench · 12/05/2020 21:41

In fact, why am I here at all.

Good luck misses and sirs, you've got this x

FrippEnos · 12/05/2020 21:41

@LilyMumsnet

Thats where your going with this.

Pages of teacher bashing and goading, and you are threatening to shutdown the thread where teachers are supporting each other!

FrippEnos · 12/05/2020 21:42

hugs

TheHoneyBadger · 12/05/2020 21:43

Why have several posts been deleted on here?

WhyNotMe40 · 12/05/2020 21:43

The only reason i moved to Mumsnet was when they changed TES chat ... Might go back.

AppleKatie · 12/05/2020 21:45

@LilyMumsnet

Riiight. Backs away slowly.

Excellent victim blaming there.

Either you’ve missed the tone of this thread or... nope I hope it’s that tbh.
