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.

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.

@icytundra that sounds like a perfectly good reason to get signed off until you are vaccinated.

HercwasanEnemyofEducation · 24/02/2021 16:58

I was previously wearing one mask per day. Not teaching in it but circulating the room while wearing. I need some more masks I think!

You need to speak to your doctor before agreeing to any risk assessment, imo.

ineedaholidaynow · 24/02/2021 17:02

Gavin is speaking. Why does his voice annoy me so much, doesn't matter what says!

ItsIgginningtolooklikelockdown · 24/02/2021 17:02

Gav thanking teachers on the briefing. I'm sure you are all made up about this Smile

MrsHamlet · 24/02/2021 17:03

I also hate his voice. He sounds like a sick puppet.

Monkeytennis97 · 24/02/2021 17:03

Lie number 1

Icytundra · 24/02/2021 17:03

God yes his voice. I've just switched it off.

I'm literally at the point where I'd rather take unpaid leave after 12 months of mat pay, than this.

MrsHamlet · 24/02/2021 17:03

Mistressiggi · 24/02/2021 17:03

I looked up to see who it was as he sounded like a very depressing minister delivering a sermon Grin

noblegiraffe · 24/02/2021 17:04

How can you bear to watch Gav? It’s like self-flagellation.

Cantaloupeisland · 24/02/2021 17:04

God I hate him

@SaltyAF

Three masks a day is going to get expensive!
Mine are cotton reusable ones. Quite an initial outlay but once I’d found a make I liked I bought 3 packs of them (Seasalt, they match a lot of my clothes as well as being nice thick cotton).
ineedaholidaynow · 24/02/2021 17:05

He could be telling me I was getting £100k pay rise and I would still hate his voice

RandomGrammarPun · 24/02/2021 17:05

Washable, 3 ply cotton ones. I have been double masking with a disposable one underneath when in the room with the KWV children, though.

SmileEachDay · 24/02/2021 17:06

Where is Gav talking?

And what about?

Cantaloupeisland · 24/02/2021 17:06

I will be eating my own head before going in over the summer.

He literally had his fingers crossed behind his back. Boris told him "it's fine, I say stuff I don't mean all the time."
RandomGrammarPun · 24/02/2021 17:07

Press conference. News channels.

This is true.

Yup.
MrsHamlet · 24/02/2021 17:08

He's talking absolute bollocksy shite

Cantaloupeisland · 24/02/2021 17:09

Fucking bubbles again

ineedaholidaynow · 24/02/2021 17:09

Bar knocking holes in walls we can’t improve ventilation in some classrooms

Monkeytennis97 · 24/02/2021 17:10

Ha ha ha ha 'trust firmly in the hands of teachers'.

I hate him.
