The Nineteenth Republic - DfE guidance issued August Bank Holiday Weekend!

[StaffAssociationRepresentative]

You are most welcome to this school staff support thread to get us through stressful times. It is meant for school staff only – a sort of room of requirement. Baiters, haters, goaders 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 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

Do not give ‘The Every twat for Themselves mob’ the staffroom password as a number of them are operating in an alternative reality.

No DfE muppets allowed

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 goad us then that is not allowed in the staffroom. Close the door quietly on your way out

Please can we keep @MilesJuppIsMyBitch?

The D poster's post has gone, but formerbabe has taken up the baton

I have reported some posts on that thread and asked for the whole thread to be deleted. It is quite nasty in areas.

some of the D's posts have gone they have missed the some of the quotes.

@MilesJuppIsMyBitch

Thanks for the invite!

I'm really glad I helped. I'm so, so sick of reading the shit that's spouted about you all.

Lots of my friends are dedicated, wonderful teachers (who became my friends after teaching my kids), and I keep seeing their faces in my minds eye whenever someone writes something nasty.

Anyway, I'm not a teacher, so won't butt in, but I will eat my biscuit.

& for you all.

We will even give you the code for the photocopier as an indication of the status you have reached! You still need to bring in your own mug with its own covered lid (health and safety)

I always suspected that the Maths Dept had a stash of the expensive stuff.

The OP never came back to that thread.

@SmileEachDay great minds!!!

On the Westministerenders threads they used to start discussing something random when Brexiteers turned up to goad. Like pastry or allotments. maybe we should do that? It was a kind of code. I think ti was precede by someone writing 'oh look , Squirrel.'

I like that idea, Piggy - in my experience, it's usually a bloody wasp that attracts all the attention

@Piggywaspushed

The OP never came back to that thread.

Hmmmm

It seemed to attract the wrong crowd awfully quickly.

Must be some sort of bat signal.

Talking about teen slang works.

Hi everyone
I've been Out Out into the Real World, where much alcohol has been consumed.
It was lovely to take a step back from Covid School Shit but I'm tempted to take a peek at the angry thread, which I begged MNHQ to delete earlier on this afternoon but I see they haven't.
I can't be responsible for my actions if I go in there and end up in a fight.
Someone tell me "it ain't worf it."

I'm going to encourage a language investigation into "salty" this year I think

@CallmeAngelina the real world?! Are you okay? What's it like out there?
I've only ever been a teacher so I don't know this real world of which you speak.

Desist Angelina!

someone's changed their tone on the angry thread. I reported several of her posts so I suspect she's been told to wind her neck in.

This is basically the only place I play on Mumsnet now. Everywhere else gives me the rage. Now have a slight problem that I think masks trigger migraines in me. Twice I've worn them for an extended period, both times ended up having to lie in bed in the dark with an awful migraine.

I've just had 3 emails from Dawn Mumsnet about deletions so it may be the way to go!

Every post I've reported has been deleted within minutes.

Yeah I’ve had posts deleted as reported pretty quickly but HQ don’t seem to look any further than that single post.

My responses follow a pattern (I'm drinking to much in a bid to numb the anxiety). I'm relatively reserved most of the day, then a wine-button is pushed come about 10:15 and I start biting back. Dagger is a case in point.

I know I'm childish

I just had my first run in with the usforthem hash tag on twitter. Surprised they had the energy after all that time listening to mental Icke chatting on today. Stupid people basically.

Some of those posters remind me of the "popular" girls when I was at school. They were mainly popular because they were unutterable bitches and the rest of us were too scared to call them out.
I now make a point of calling it out in class. And my report finger has been busy today.

I mean, David Icke! Is it a cult?!

I'm hoping Darwin's theory plays out for the 10,000 people out in the rain protesting about "masks are muzzles." Wonder if that's where 50 went.
Or has she name-changed? We'll soon spot her though, if so.
