The Twenty-Seventh Republic - rules or guidelines - Pandemic or Pirates of the Caribbean

[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 and you will receive a detention

I’m not worried one bit about being at work or catching covid! In fact I’d rather be at work than stuck at home!

Right back to work tomorrow.

Hope everyone, and their children, manage to sleep. I've given ds a soluble melatonin tablet and packed him off to bed. Feel free to call ss but over the years I've seen how hard it is for him to switch his body clock back round to school and how effective a one off melatonin dose can be.

We used to live between here and the middle east when he was diddy and I'm afraid I wasn't averse to giving a dose of melatonin on a long flight either.

Back into the thick of it. May 'the force' be with us all.

Bless.

I also work in a school but will be unpopular on this thread because I disagree with the majority of posts

That’s allowed you know!

Gosh how awful your home must be baby! I do hope you manage to improve your domestic situation to a level where hyper-exposing yourself to a pandemic doesn't seem preferable to being at home.

Women's aid may help.

Bit odd to come on and announce it though.
I don't like toffee vodka but I've kept quiet about it

Freedom programme maybe, Honey?

Disagreeing is fine. It’s a free country - and an open forum! Dunno that I’d bother joining a thread where I disagreed with most stuff 🤷🏻‍♀️ I get enough of that with Y9!!

Nothing like that, I just get bored easily I live on my own.

Now you tell us Misstresslggi-after all this time!! Want me to pop to the shops for an alternative!?

That book sounds interesting piggy. I may indulge my Hobby and see if the library has it. I do love reading.

Oh now you tell us

I'm not right keen on toffee vodka myself. Better that than Bacardi though.

It may be a cry for help? If I announced that I'd rather be rammed into a crowded building with 1000+ teens during a pandemic I hope people would see that for the desperate cry for help it was.

I followed through the summer, kept me up to date with school news definitely 🤣

I promise it’s not. I work in a wonderful happy primary school in year 4 😊

I haven’t come on to argue with anyone though

bizarrely my year 9s this year are alright and their lessons a bit of respite. I feel I should touch wood frantically saying that.

That's nice. Do you teach your year 4's anything about empathy at all?

I don't drink alcohol at all, so shouldn't fit in with this group. Nobody's noticed that I'm just drinking diet Coke with no alcohol in it yet though 🤫

You’ve followed a thread you mainly disagree with since the summer?

Why? How do you have the patience? Which post was it that prompted you to crash in and say you disagreed with everything?

@HeyBaby2020

Nothing like that, I just get bored easily I live on my own.

I don't follow that line of argument, though. Why would that mean you disagree with the points that teachers are raising about the safety of schools remaining open (not to mention all the other things we discuss on here), just because you get bored easily?

MsAD we've noticed. We're just grateful there's more for us

You say you "work in" a school. As a teacher? Or TA?

Do you know I probably talk about drinking far more than I actually do it, these days. If you'd met me in my 20s there wouldn't have been enough toffee vodka to go round
