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, especially if you have not used the hand gel. Close the door quietly on your way out and put your mask on.

My dad helpfully phoned me today and let me know that Scotland had fewer cases when schools closed in March than we do now. Great for the Sunday night fear 🙈

CallmeAngelina · 06/09/2020 16:55

Yes, but there must have been many more with it back in March who just didn't have it confirmed by test.

@phlebasconsidered - I feel you with the eczema flare up. I've currently got it in places I've never had it before!

Am nearly ready for tomorrow though. Last minute dash to get a couple of new tops when I realised some of the ones I have didn't fit 😳. Too much good eating during lockdown and not quite enough exercise to get it off. Kids finally got back on their trampoline yesterday after weeks of me suggesting it.

Dh and I haven't yet had the 'what happens if kids need to isolate' chat. If it's dd1 she can stay home alone. But the younger 3 cannot yet. I am optimistic we can share the load between his shifts if my place are able to be a little bit flexible (I'll remain optimistic).

I went to see my Mum today before all the kids go back to school tomorrow in case of local lockdowns etc. They aren't going to treat her cancer.😥 So I haven't done any work yet and I am not ready for tomorrow. It will all come out in the was I suppose. I hope everyone has had as relaxing a weekend as possible. 💐

They don't say that on the stats thread rafa until they get invaded by a nutter

If anyone had DfE on FB,have a look at a woman called Danielle something playing minuscule bingo, in response to the DfE's annoying post about teachers keeping kids safe. She is a U4T extremist!

Oh jenny that sucks. Sad

ohthegoats · 06/09/2020 17:12
