to my DD's year 10 teachers

Thank you for all that you are doing for my DD with remote teaching and live lessons. I don't know how you've been managing it to be honest.

Yes, there are little things that I think could have been done differently but I expect you think that about the way I do things too (if you actually knew, thank goodness you have no idea!). I won't criticise you though because I know lockdown has been damned hard and you've worked your socks off.

Tomorrow she's back in school for the first time since March and for this I'm very grateful to you for organising it and coming in to give her some face to face tuition for the core subjects. I am grateful to you for emailing me with kind words when I felt like I'd failed my DD with supporting her during the remote learning, I'm grateful for the feedback with how I could help her when I raised concerns and with many other things.

Once this is over there will be a large box of treats of your choice delivered to the staff room. Don't eat them all by 10am though, I'd like you to be able to teach in the afternoon with being sick Grin

How lovely! I do hope you have emailed that in to the school. It would be forwarded round to staff and it would really make their day.

Yes, but I said without being sick rather than with being sick! Grin

Awww. Thanks. For what it's worth, I'm back in school with Year 10 tomorrow and I cannot wait. I hope she has a really positive experience.

Thank you Flowers

I was back today interviewing Y10 and 12 ahead of them returning next week. They were all so happy (and only a little bit anxious) about coming back! Looking forward to teaching again next week!

Thank you for your kind words. I've worked so hard with my Y10s (and all my classes) to make sure I set meaningful work that they can do and I started doing live lessons with them last week, which was much better than doing it all online. I'm in school with them tomorrow, so hoping all goes well!

Email that to the head teacher as well!
