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 staffroom password just in case it attracts the wrong sort

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 booze is stashed - Thirsty Tuesdays, Fizz Fridays now in operation.

If you come with a stick to goad us then that is not allowed in the staffroom and you will receive a detention

I am sorry to hear this, Riga. And how awful for your friend to blame herself on top of the normal grief.

RigaBalsam · 14/11/2020 08:39

Thanks Dangling. It is really awful.

PumpkinPie2016 · 14/11/2020 08:44

@Rigabalsam so sorry to hear that. Your poor friend. Sadly, when these things happen, we often blame ourselves, even though we are not to blame Sad

MrsHamlet · 14/11/2020 08:56

So sorry to hear that Riga

CallmeAngelina · 14/11/2020 09:09

How very sad, @RigaBalsam. Flowers

Anyone know how it is that a troll can be deleted (and banned) and all traces of their posts across threads are removed, yet their other incarnations are still there?

WhyNotMe40 · 14/11/2020 09:17

Riga how sad Sad Your poor friend Flowers

monkeytennis97 · 14/11/2020 09:21

Sorry RigaSad your poor friend.

CallmeAngelina · 14/11/2020 09:22

Also, does anyone know the "results" (for want of a better word) of all the testing in Liverpool?
How many asymptomatic cases have been revealed?

Stepawayfromtheminirolls · 14/11/2020 09:25

@CallmeAngelina I've found myself quoting a couple of you at work recently, and then I have to fudge where I got it from.
I'm saying "I've heard..." a lot for the same reason!
@RigaBalsam that's awful, your poor friend.

noblegiraffe · 14/11/2020 09:43

Oh no Riga that is just horrible. Your poor friend, there’s really nothing that can be said to make it better, it’s just a terrible situation that we’re all in and things like this will happen.

I am genuinely astonished that MNHQ finally acknowledged that Ecosse was trolling and deleted and banned them. It has been going on so long that I figured they didn’t care.

CallmeAngelina · 14/11/2020 09:49

All trace has been removed of Madrid though, but Ecosse's posts still stand. Just AS'd her (him?)

MrsHerculePoirot · 14/11/2020 10:07

@RigaBalsam so sorry for your friend.

Appuskidu · 14/11/2020 10:08

Were Madrid and Ecosse the same?!

SquashedFlyBiscuits · 14/11/2020 10:11

@RigaBalsam so sorry to hear that.

Piggywaspushed · 14/11/2020 10:12

Well, my great relief is that I no longer have to spend hours finding stats about how many people have been knocked over by buses on the way to school.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 14/11/2020 10:12

So sorry to hear about your friend Riga. That’s awful.

RobertsUncle · 14/11/2020 10:13

Sorry for your friend riga.
I suspect that there will be many in that situation by the time this is over.

Piggywaspushed · 14/11/2020 10:13

I suspect tipping point may have been the poster blaming teachers for infecting pupils.

Piggywaspushed · 14/11/2020 10:14

That is so sad riga.

About bloody time.

Danglingmod · 14/11/2020 10:15

That old chestnut makes me laugh so much. That, and struck by lightning. I have given a disproportionate amount of headspace in the last few months to wondering if there is also a media blackout on deaths by lightning, since I have never seen evidence of this massive statistic.

echt · 14/11/2020 10:16

So sorry for your friend, riga

Thanks

Riga my heart breaks for your friend. Flowers
