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

Sober ones are essential MsAD. You can remember what was decided yesterday and who owes who money.

I just wanted to join in the chat and get involved I admit I feel a bit lonely at home 🏠 I followed from the summer because there are also posts I agree with! Admittedly I haven’t read for a while but with news of another lockdown I started reading again.

I just hope schools stay open, that’s all x

CallmeAngelina · 01/11/2020 21:39

By the way, peeps, I'm another one who doesn't fancy toffee vodka!!

Am I allowed to stay?

Appuskidu · 01/11/2020 21:39

@HeyBaby2020

I also work in a school but will be unpopular on this thread because I disagree with the majority of posts Grin
What an utterly bizarre use of your time to be following the 27th thread of a group of people whose posts you disagree with and to suddenly decide to comment on.

Each to their own, I guess.

ChloeDecker · 01/11/2020 21:41

I think we should start Fizz Fridays on here!

HeyBaby2020 · 01/11/2020 21:41

TA . I also run the breakfast and after school club and am a midday supervisor

Thirsty Thursday?!
MrsHamlet · 01/11/2020 21:41

I'd like schools to stay open.
I'd like my colleague whose wife has terminal cancer and a son in school to feel safe.
I'd like to not constantly worry about bubbles bursting.

I'm genuinely glad that you're in a happy school. You're lucky. Hold onto that.

monkeytennis97 · 01/11/2020 21:42

Right all that's me done for the day. All ready for the morning-thermals ready, masks and sprays ready. Night all!Smile

I have never actually tried it. I imagine I would like it though.

I could get behind that! You are talking about sherbet here aren't you?
HeyBaby2020 · 01/11/2020 21:42

I’m sorry to have wound some people up 😞

CallmeAngelina · 01/11/2020 21:42

That said, if you're feeling lonely, then pull up a chair and stay. Smile

noblegiraffe · 01/11/2020 21:42

I don’t like toffee vodka or gin Shock

I’ll get my coat.

MrsHamlet · 01/11/2020 21:42

We've made it this far Wednesday

SmileEachDay · 01/11/2020 21:43

HeyBaby2020

You have posted only on this thread and one other. Never before on MN.

Interesting.

How do people feel about gin?

TheHoneyBadger · 01/11/2020 21:43

Definitely Angelina. I like vodka and I like toffee but putting the two together seems like an an abomination of both.

You also get to call the discussion equivalent of 'shotgun' because you're more likely to remember what has already been said and agreed to.

CallmeAngelina · 01/11/2020 21:44

I don't think people are wound up, so much as slightly perplexed.

Anyway, no worries.

There's no getting of coats in the staffroom. Remember someone locked the doors so we're all here forever now.

Piggywaspushed · 01/11/2020 21:44

I only drink gin at Christmas. My special Xmas gin. But I will hold everyone's hair back if necessary.

MrsHamlet · 01/11/2020 21:45

I only drink gin when I'm thirsty

HeyBaby2020 · 01/11/2020 21:45

And ? I have decided to join but I’ve been reading for years. I always see people raise that point like it’s a crime 😫

HeyBaby2020 · 01/11/2020 21:46

Thank you x 😊

CallmeAngelina · 01/11/2020 21:46

Well, I'm starting back on my diet tomorrow, so there'll be no alcohol (well, limited, anyway) or cake for me.
I lost 3 and a half stone a coupe of years ago and was looking so bloody good on it, but a fair chunk of it has gone back on (bloody lockdown) and I look like a blimp so... wish me luck!
