The Fourth Republic Rises - solidarity comrades!

[StaffAssociationRepresentative]

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.

A time I would really appreciate being able to talk with others, try and understand the govt guidance and hear other insights into this while working out wtf to do because it's a lot to deal with - but can't because of people getting their own fear, anger, misery and entitlement out finding any thread where teachers are trying to talk and verbally bashing the hell out of them.

Honestly I'm getting to the point of being done with MN.

I don’t think they will open. There’s been such a huge backlash. Not just from teachers, but from parents too. Outside mumsnet bubble, parents are supporting us.

@Boscoismyspiritanimal - I was wondering about that last night whilst completing my Year 10 reports. It could even be someone within MN driving traffic as well I guess.

Radio 5 live ....discussion starting now.

DH has just been to the Post Office in our little parade of shops. He said that the street was really busy. There is a big park there too.

I think that this is indicative of there being a lot of people going to wherever they fancy now. There will be another spike in two weeks. This whole road map and the idea of re opening the schools was just to shut people up.

Ha!

James O brien on LBC made a good point.

Stock market workers furlough until October. If you work with 5 year olds your back to work without PPE no social distancing and just accept it. Is there a point where we say come on lads that's not right is it?

I have joined you on TES.

Lovely day today, catching up with my form for 121s. So impressed with the way they have handled this change to their ways of working. MN not like real life, I hope!

' completely ignorant narrative to teachers'

I think I love James O Brien

The educational genius that is John Barnes was led in to saying that schools could be open in the summer holiday.

I've joined you over there . The vitriol has to be orchestrated.

Ha St!

@Michelleoftheresistance please don't go; your input is hugely valued on FWR

Jeez! We have asked MN to calm things down but nothing happening. Quite frankly it is calmer over there as I suppose there are more like-minded people.

Same peeps with same name/user changes - banging on about the same old stuff whilst trying to de-rail support threads and education threads.

In other news - I am having a homemade chocolate brownie with my morning coffee

Yes I think the goading is organised and orchestrated. It reminds me of the monitors on the feminism chat board

The "positive" Danish school thread is DEFINITELY orchestrated. There are people falling over themselves to be ridiculously capitalised happy, and they've just over-egged it now.
I've reported that thread (and others) several times and MNHQ are either ignoring me or happy to let them all stand.

But at least Hope on the other thread said that MN is looking into taking the Staffroom out of active. Obviously Lucy will not come back to us as she is off duty now

I am not bothering with the Danish thread etc. No point

Has it come from the dementors threads?

Maybe MN has cut a deal with the government that the gov will subsidise the website if they allow their "nudging" free reign on the site.

God the arseholes are out tonight. This morning for most of you.

Or are we not to mention other threads? Advance search my name and you'll see what drivel the thickoids are spouting. Or is that forbidden too?

I ventured into that "our children have a right to an education" thread.
Way to make myself feel shit. I am pretty close to a breakdown now. Very depressed. Very demoralised. I even feel bad about the amount of screen time my 3 year old has been getting to allow me to home educate my primary children and support my own students. I've probably ruined his brain :(

I will try to get the space and energy to phone the gp I think tomorrow

Union thread closed!

Why, my two year old is watching way too much. I think a Gp call would be useful

WhyNot try not to worry about your 3yr old’s screen time
If you think about extraordinary circumstances like a prolonged stay in hospital for a small child they might need to have loads of screen time to keep them occupied. They don’t end up addicted to screens or their development affected.
