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 believe they're going to just open all schools just as they were before Christmas with just some lateral Flow tests thrown in. Does no one in government learn from mistakes?

Not sure if this link will work but can't copy and paste on tablet - joint statement on reopening from 9 unions

Good, to the point. Emphasising that we want to go back when safe.

motherrunner · 19/02/2021 15:54

@noblegiraffe have reported that post on your thread about the ‘klaxon’. Didn’t want to say it there incase I was accused of being a ‘fan girl’.

Are our posts here scoured by ThemforUs???

Piggywaspushed · 19/02/2021 15:58

That union statement pointing out that this is 1/5 of the population is quite powerful, I think.

JanFebAnyMonth · 19/02/2021 15:59

Yes piggy, I'd never seen it put like that.

They screenshotted my comments about my threads being like Michaelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel which I certainly thought was deserving of a wider audience so quite pleased with that. Grin

Yes, that should certainly give pause for thought. Especially as it’s 1/5 of the population in large groups with no mitigation measures.
motherrunner · 19/02/2021 16:09

I hope they screenshot my comments about Cillian Murphy. There can never be too much discussion about Cillian Murphy.

His eyes...

His cheekbones ...

His bum .........

SmileEachDay · 19/02/2021 16:17

mother
Would you like me to screenshot and put on a thread? 🤣🤣 I could just randomly pick bush ones?

MrsHamlet · 19/02/2021 16:17

I've forgotten what he looks like mother

Cantaloupeisland · 19/02/2021 16:20

Mmm they can screenshot him!

Much like the infamous MB thread try do seem to do a lot of screaming at your threads.

Those eyes.

I am looking at my Cillian right now playing Roblox (he’s 6) and hoping he can be just a great actor, musician and speaker as his namesake.

If anyone is being thrown under a bus , it is the clinically vulnerable. When people say 'all the vulnerable have been vaccinated' they are spouting absolute shitewank.

motherrunner · 19/02/2021 16:27

@MrsHamlet

Just saying....
Phew!

Still not Cillian Murphy though.

PumpkinPie2016 · 19/02/2021 16:28

Can I have a celebratory moment?

NPQML first draft done 🥳🥳

Over the word count though so need to edit down but better that than too few words!

Absolutely.

My mum hasn’t been vaccinated. I know she’s ’protected’ in her nursing home but it’s all down to a postcode lottery.

MrsHamlet · 19/02/2021 16:30

Somebody post Chris for pumpkin

motherrunner · 19/02/2021 16:32

Just had an email for HQ @noblegiraffe. They’re looking into the inflammatory posts on that thread.

noblegiraffe · 19/02/2021 16:38

Cheers, mother :)

JanFebAnyMonth · 19/02/2021 16:43

Wow, I've just received, and used, my invitation to book a jab! All set for next Sat. It is quite emotional.

Any other non-vulnerable over 50s had their invites? Our local centre did seem to be one of the first though so maybe they're still slightly ahead of others.
