The Tenth Republic - what is the new normal?

[StaffAssociationRepresentative]

You are most welcome to this school staff support thread to get us through stressful times. It is meant for school staff. 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.

If you are fed up with cakes and biscuits there is now a cheeseboard on offer

If you come with a stick to beat us with then please do so elsewhere and not in the staffroom.

I don't think I can listen to him any more.

What's??? They made nothing available to us. We found it ourselves thanks.
@Piggywaspushed nearer bubbles of 2000 at our school. Can't see the problem 😂😂

The journos should read this thread . No one Has Their Laptops.

I had to move upstairs so I could shout fuck more. We still havent had a single laptop. One of the most disadvantaged areas in the country

Watching this briefing after learning about our first case of cv in our school.

He is just shouting now.

I've not heard of a SINGLE child whose had a laptop or internet provided.

Oh no @Wait4nothing

I do think he is right to deflect that stupid video lesson Q. If we are back at school in September it's moot anyway.

Waffle waffle. I imagine no students on tutoring program. I am FE so forgotten anyway by Gavin

I feel sick watching this. And am swearing at the tv. Sounds like back to normal in September.

I can’t listen to him wanging on about teaching colonialism.

I some good news, Katie Hopkins has been permanently banned from Twitter.

Perhaps Lucy should note it was Gove that got rid of much of the learning about black history.

Oh dear wait . That's bad.

Back to normal in schools - but nowhere else!

Oh that's just what we need more curriculum changes.

How about we start with making sure they can all read and write, that we have enough books, pens and paper and classrooms are big enough to fit classes in? Basic shit so we don't waste time scouring a block for an extra chair.

How about we aim to have as good schools as Sweden/Denmark if we want to be ambitious.

I've turned it off, couldn't cope anymore. Surely if they want secondary back full time - the only possible plan is business as usual, that doesn't take 2 weeks to come up with

If he taught lessons he'd not survive my year 10s. They'd have told him too stop talking c**p by now.

COAB - £100 pw per PP student. That would be £20,000 a week for our school. Can you imagine what we could do with it instead of wasting it on unqualified tutors that disadvantaged kids won't want to engage with?

Gav, some of us have already booked holidays in Spain ! Wazzock.

This has got to be the fastest briefing ever.

tes getting a Q in. "We"?? Is he going to be writing these plans with us? Mother fucker. Sorry - I'm the kid with tourettes at the back of the class.

He hasn't answered a single fucking question. I hate him. He reminds of a character in a comedy show years ago and I can't place the name annoyingly.

We really shouldn't have watched that. Can't be good for our blood pressure.

Wiffle waffle, flannel, wet, blanket.
