The Thirty-Sixth Republic - New Year approaching, no clear idea of what is happening next week and has Gav been sacked yet?

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

So where's left that is NOT T4?

So where's left that is NOT T4?

Isle of Wight?!

Isle of Wight is in t4 now

Tier 4 here

Herefordshire?

I possibly would snog Jeremy especially without his tie.

I would now.

East and North Yorkshire still in 3! Including York and Hull. But looking at the map it’s like we’re surrounded...

Good Lord. I find myself agreeing with Jeremy Hunt.

He was my favourite for Tory leadership, but that wasn’t saying much, really. Was the Speaker who told him off today Lindsay Hoyle? All he cares about is Chorley A and E reopening, despite the fact that the main barrier to that is that no one wants to work in senior roles there (because Chorley is a shithole to live in).

Yorkshire staying in Tier 3. I give it a week....

My school and home are in Tier 3, but plenty of colleagues and children will be in Tier 4.

So then, is the whole of Tier 4 a hotspot?!

I reckon there will be Tier 4.5s which will be school closures.

Yep. Same here. Makes a bit of a nonsense of a tiered system really, rather than a national response.

Still tier 3 where I am!

Think they can't remember where they hid Gav.

Wonder if they have finished dusting off Big Gav?

Why are we waiting,

Why are we waiting 🎶

Do you think they've lost the big key to wind Gav up? I think he had to go for revarnishing and that's why he was missing for a while....

I reckon Neurotree is right about tier 4.5...predicting more confusion and delay in the next few days (hoping I am wrong).

And what did Hunt say?

Incidentally, our ppt for teaching kinetic energy involves the kids working out who shot Gove based on the velocity and mass of the bullet used.

Twitter saying he's on at 4pm.
