Thirteenth Republic - School’s out for summer, no more pencils no more books!

[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

Are there more sahm in Ireland?

That's a really interesting question - I have no idea tbh.

Any one want to play Them For Us bingo?

Report in when you have gathered:

Our children ... ( never my child. That's usually somebody thinking about themself. Us 4 Them are instructed not to personalise)
Sacrificed...
Why should my child...for an illness that barely affects them?....
Exempt...
Our children's mental health...
Any mention of a dubious scientific study in an authoritative manner...
Nothing is more important than the future of our children !

I’ve only got 4 on that list today. Might need to try harder.

I am lacking the scientific study today so am one away from Full House .

I forgot the repeated and insistent use of the word need , usually as the second word in a phrase. Children need...schools need...

English teachers may recognise this as the rhetorical technique of anaphora.

Only three of those for me, @Piggywaspushed. Clearly I'm looking in all the right wrong places.

I’ve got that one too, so that’s 5.

Sadly, dubious scientific studies going the way they want it are becoming harder to find. I’d much rather they were right tbh.

Face masks for Oxford University

Where have you seen that, Piggy?

On Facebook via the Fail.

Turns out starting a thread attacking Chris Whitty is where MN are drawing the line for deleting posts.

Yes that was an intriguing title @RafaIsTheKingOfClay!

No Whitty Bashing.

There's an awful lot of, "This cannot go on" and "We must go back to living our lives". It's a shame virus' don't listen to mum's stamping their feet.

Oh yes, that might be Bingo!

That was the same poster who called him the Arch Dementor on a thread the other day. I got one welcome out dementor overlord.

It does feel a bit like arguing with a toddler who wants to wear their trainers and wellies at the same time HoneyBadger.

The Giant Toddler is what I call Trump.

There are a number of people these days who'd give him a run for his money for this nickname.

I was disappointed that that thread was deleted.

I was pithily rude to the OP on that one.

I don't have bingo but I do have four now - just got the scientific study one!

Of course, they quoted the single child one, plus the NSW one.

It's going to be pretty easy to teach Power of Three from now on...

Hands. Face. Space.

@Danglingmod And Stay Home, Save Lives, Protect the NHS!

I find it deeply ironic that the anti dementors behave the most like dementors!

I take it you put them right Katherine!

Exactly!
