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 can't imagine ever having the creativity to change the words to a song like that, and then to have a family willing to join in!!! My family would banish me to the outside if I suggested something like that. I have a FB friend who does stuff like that but his family do NOT join in. They "very kindly" built him a big shed as his "recording studio" and I know his wife is thrilled he's not contaminating their house with his musical optimism.

An afternoon tea box has just arrived from MIL - she knows I've been down recently and wanted to cheer me up! Now full of quiche and clotted cream, but there's still loads left - and that's with DH and toddler helping! I told DH that he has a lovely mum Smile

quiche and clotted cream

Interesting food choices again on the teacher thread!

Stepawayfromtheminirolls · 05/02/2021 15:18

[innocently] Don't you always spread clotted cream on your quiche?

noblegiraffe · 05/02/2021 15:43

No, and I'm not convinced I'm going to start!

DD asked for a peanut butter and cheese sandwich for lunch today Envy

RuleWithAWoodenFoot · 05/02/2021 15:48

Peanut butter, marmite and cheese in our house - common! Like, I think she has it every day. My child.

RuleWithAWoodenFoot · 05/02/2021 15:49

My class is currently shouting a lot on Teams chat about how 'blue robins' exist.

I sent them a picture of a blue tit.

They've all shut up now.

Have you tried the Marmite peanut butter? I'm a fan and noone in my house wants to share it with me Grin.

All this food talk is making me hungry.

Tfif

That is all

noblegiraffe · 05/02/2021 16:18

I have got a bottle of Prosecco, a big bar of Dairy Milk and the season 3 finale of Cobra Kai booked in for tonight. I’m very excited.

RuleWithAWoodenFoot · 05/02/2021 16:24

I've got a booze yen on too, and I hardly ever drink. Aperol. Crisps.

I want to watch Dig.

The blue tit conversation turned into one of the children putting a poll up in chat saying:

Are tits cute?
Yes
No
Both

I mean, I'm not sure... are both tits cute? Just the one tit? Why are you posting about tits? FFS. Delete.

There's a couple of blue ones.

And a pink one.

Well, every day is a school day!

HercwasanEnemyofEducation · 05/02/2021 17:08

Congratulations on making it one week closer to better times!

Maths people I've made a pretty decent desmos on areas of parts of circles that self marks. Happy to share via DM, massively outing on here otherwise!

Piggywaspushed · 05/02/2021 17:24

Fuckety fuck wank bollocks fuck. Balls.

Sureitwillbegrand · 05/02/2021 17:24

Yea please @HercwasanEnemyofEducation will try to work out the DM thing

Sureitwillbegrand · 05/02/2021 17:26

Ah @Piggywaspushed mine is 'tit bum Willy wank bastard'. I feel it rolls of the tongue nicely. Grin

TheHoneyBadger · 05/02/2021 17:26

We need a swear jar. Would soon fund our trip.

Piggywaspushed · 05/02/2021 17:29

Sorry for my context less outburst. I love the way you all assume it is just a response to conversations about blue robins.

DS's hard drive is broken .

This may or may not be connected to him hitting his laptop in a lockdown learning related tantrum. Maybe I should start a thread and blame his teacher.

Mistressiggi · 05/02/2021 17:32

That pink Robin is so cute. I have overdosed on cookies and am now spending first holiday day in my pyjamas feeling sick. Envy

RandomGrammarPun · 05/02/2021 17:37

Oh, dear, Piggy.

Definitely email his teacher. It must be their fault. I get the lesson was boring.

Appuskidu · 05/02/2021 17:37

They’re back with this old chestnut, I see.

They can fuck right off with that one. Directed hours??
