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

Cautious approach, WTF?! What is cautious about this?

HobnobbingAboutHobnobs · 22/02/2021 08:15

Angry I have just opened a message on SMHW from a Y11 student, sent on Tuesday, asking me for his login for the online textbook. AFTER SIX FUCKING WEEKS!!!! Raging, fuming - I am all of the angry words! It nearly killed me to reply politely.

Mistressiggi · 22/02/2021 08:16

I know we encourage students to make mistakes so they can learn from them, yadda yadda. Isn't Boris a bit old to be stuck in that approach? Hoping for a serious reduction in rates before then 🤞
And good luck today for any early primary staff in Scotland going back, or secondary practical teachers.

EnemyOfEducationNo1 · 22/02/2021 08:20

I can't actually bring myself to open my emails or SMH.

EnemyOfEducationNo1 · 22/02/2021 08:20

Have a full on panic going on

piggywaspushed · 22/02/2021 08:21

Literally no one cares about our MH.

motherrunner · 22/02/2021 08:24

I’m trying to stay calm but I feeling so sick. ‘Luckily’ have 5 lessons today, plus my form and then parents evening so won’t have time to think. Got our weekly department meeting in 10 minutes so time to sign off. Hope everyone has a good first day back!

Grin No, not Bob. My Bob has actually done loads of work, apparently being away from Tom (the fucking cunt) has done wonders for his concentration!

Yes, some with diabetes and I think some obesity. Also one with an autoimmune condition.

RandomGrammarPun · 22/02/2021 08:59

Oh and our area started off really ahead of schedule but vaccinating category 6 people started last Thursday. So nobody with one of those conditions that makes them vulnerable will have had three weeks' grace and some won't have been done at all. It's 7m people.

That's parents as well as school staff I'm worried about.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 22/02/2021 09:20

@piggywaspushed

Vaccine minister has just said schools are going back because it is '3 weeks after all the over 50s will have had a vaccine'.

He had to correct himself but only after Louise Minchin picked him up on it. he said it TWICE. He is the vaccine minister!!

It is no wonder people on MN think everyone vulnerable has been done.

Yes ‘three weeks after the middle of April takes you to the first week of March’ is quite a claim.
Tailrunner · 22/02/2021 09:20

This morning I am completely fed up and resigned to everyone going back on the 8th and numbers spiking again. It irritates me no end that I feel I am doing exactly what they want - angry and ready to argue when the news is leaked but simmered down and resigned to this shit show by the time it is official. I'm just too bloody knackered to maintain the outrage at this point.

piggywaspushed · 22/02/2021 09:33

My year 10s seems to have decided they do not need to do any work today. It is painful...

At least in a classroom behind my magic tape I wouldn't be able to see so clearly that they are doing nothing!!

noblegiraffe · 22/02/2021 10:02

@OpheliasCrayon hope everything has gone ok and you’re chilling at home now Flowers

OytheBumbler · 22/02/2021 10:21

Good luck to everyone today. Flowers

MrsHerculePoirot · 22/02/2021 10:55

Not feeling the love for teaching today....

MrsHamlet · 22/02/2021 11:13

Someone went to collect Bob today cos he's vulnerable doing no work. No reply at home.

noblegiraffe · 22/02/2021 11:25

I don’t think I could have cringed any harder.

Why did the journalist not pick him up on this?!
