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

Another hand up for the "feisty" club.

noblegiraffe · 15/02/2021 19:48

I'm not seen as feisty by my dept. Generally, reliable, I think. Tend to keep my head down.

Which is hilarious, really, given that some on here think that I'm a union firebrand.

I’m sure I saw that Warwick schools pre-print on Twitter earlier and glanced through it, but I can’t find it anywhere now!?

JanFebAnyMonth · 15/02/2021 20:00

On the reaction to the Warwick paper I linked earlier there's a twitter link, but I can't access it as am not on Twitter. I've never had that problem before?

echt · 15/02/2021 20:05

@CallmeAngelina

By the way, I've rarely been so relieved as when that latest thread of noble's reached 1000. Turned into a right pile-on.
Same here. I thought they'd never shut up.
twinkletoesimnot · 15/02/2021 20:26

Really pleased for you @Monkeytennis97 😊

GravityFalls · 15/02/2021 20:50

I’m abrasive and short too! And yes, it’s crazy that I’m seen like that when I don’t even like to send the wrong meal back in a restaurant...

It’s because I say when I think an idea is shit instead of nodding and smiling. Covid hasn’t helped because ^all* the ideas have been shit.

ChloeDecker · 15/02/2021 20:52

Fab news about vaccinations for family members @Monkeytennis97 and @Piggywaspushed
So lovely to hear!

Staffdontblowitnow · 15/02/2021 20:53

Noble has some seriously strange stalkers and I am not talking about the Feisty club full of girl fans 😂

Is the feisty club like the tufts club? Can we have a periodical?

DreamingofBrie · 15/02/2021 20:56

Hello all,
Ophelia and Monkeytennis, such good news that you have seen and will see your loved ones Flowers.

Hello @Viciouslybashed - are you new to the staffroom? I've seen you around the boards. You asked a few questions which I don't think got picked up. Don't know if you've seen many of Noble's threads, but she has quite the reputation amongst the U4T lot. Anyone who agrees with her or defends any personal insults against her is a "fangirl".

I have a lovely big desk in what used to be my classroom sobs, but had to hide under it during a lockdown drill and it still had tonnes of chewing gum stuck underneath it Angry.

I don't know who Chris Hemsworth is. Am I still allowed in?

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 15/02/2021 21:02

Loads of good news on the thread today. Yay for vaccines, and ophelia getting to see her DH and for monkey’s DS.

SmileEachDay · 15/02/2021 21:02

Evening all.

I hope you’re all ok. I’ve been absent in the madness of this term, but have had a bit of time over the last couple of days. Unfortunately rather than just coming in here I got sucked in and was apparently very rude to a person.

How is half term?

MrsHamlet · 15/02/2021 21:03

Someone needs to post a Chris photo for Brie.
No other reason, obviousky

HercwasanEnemyofEducation · 15/02/2021 21:05

It’s because I say when I think an idea is shit instead of nodding and smiling. Covid hasn’t helped because ^all the ideas have been shit.*

This is me.

I also refuse to do anything that doesn't benefit actual learning of actual children. Most of my refusal is non vocal and no one ever asks for the reams of shite paperwork.

StaffRepFeistyClub · 15/02/2021 21:05

I am so impressed that I have gone for a name change

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 15/02/2021 21:06

Did you get deleted smile?

SmileEachDay · 15/02/2021 21:09

No, Rafals - mainly because I wasn’t rude. Repetitive yes. Patronising, possibly?

But not rude 😂

DreamingofBrie · 15/02/2021 21:09

My lovely boss says my honesty is refreshing, but warned me that it could also be career-limiting.

Just asked dd who Chris Hemsworth is Grin. She said "people think he's very good looking..."

MrsHamlet · 15/02/2021 21:09

I can post boot boy again if that helps

noblegiraffe · 15/02/2021 21:12

You all need to watch this video of Chris Hemsworth complimenting you, right now

chocolateisavegetable · 15/02/2021 21:12

I don't know who Chris Hemsworth is. Am I still allowed in?

Yes - I prefer people to not know about Chris so I can have his whole gorgeousness to myself

MrsHamlet · 15/02/2021 21:14

This is why we love you noble

chocolateisavegetable · 15/02/2021 21:16

How on earth am I going to explain to DH why I'm salivating? At least I can blame the flushed cheeks on the menopause.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
