The Forty Ninth Republic - Announcement Week - Roadmap and Exams - Be more Bob

[StaffRepFeistyClub]

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.

Back to schools to ensure students can be given support to test

They really haven’t a clue. Harries thinks the whole testing thing will be a piece of cake for kids and their parents. And if they can’t do it school can do it still. Just how many will be bothered to?

@MrsDanvers123

Two ace questions - ensuring parents test children and staffing summer schools!

Were they answered?

Appuskidu - still working through the waffle!

Great last question 🤣
He's a massive cockwomble

Basically, testing has been great so far and there will be cases at first but then it will settle. And schools can help students test if families won't!

And money is available for teachers to staff summer schools BUT he didn't comment on the availability of teachers!

I'm sure he said more but I lost the will to live and ordered a take away instead

Jenny Harries really does live on another planet, doesn't she?

The way she talks about schools, I assume not only has she never been inside a school, but she has never spoken to anyone educated in a state school in the UK either.

Got my home tests for the next few weeks though, which is interesting.

School are still struggling to come up with a workable way to do in school testing, I don't think ever changing guidance will help!

I noticed he asked everyone else if they had a follow up question but not the TES journalist!

It is impossible to express how much I loathe that man! Honestly - when he thanks us I want to punch him even more.

Lies, lies, errr, so yes, we ALL want, WE are working hard to support, errr, errrr, lies, we've given schools such a broad range of tools (say what?) to errr, yes, errr lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie, my daughters (try to look normal - fail).......

I seriously hate him and I genuinely don't hate anyone in real life.

Did you notice Jenny said don't hug your grandparents 'too much'?! Has she read the fucking rules?

How about we give Bob Gav’s address and the means to get there? We could encourage Bob to have a chat with Mr Williamson about careers advice and jobs advice as Gav is the geezer in charge 😂

Why are they setting up June 21st as the Day We Won Freedom?
I’ve seen so much on social media along the same lines.
People anticipating the various dates as steps to being free of Covid, when it’s just steps to probably having the medical intervention you need to survive not actually dying.

I will make Bob a pack up to take with him... a few cans of cider and he'll be happy 🤣

Never forgiving Gav. He is an odious creep.

I thought it was supposed to be data not dates, and yet there are lots of dates.

I noticed he answered the question about how teachers have no faith in him or his department with ‘children need to be in school’

@Piggywaspushed hope it went well today.

Coming to the end of the Unison meeting - pretty bloody pointless. Anyone getting advice from other unions yet?

That TES journalist 😂

I missed end (in a union meeting) what did TES journo ask?

@noblegiraffe

I thought it was supposed to be data not dates, and yet there are lots of dates.

And very little mention of data in the released guidance.

I have a female version of Bob who I love to bits. She is insanely loud but, 'I can't 'elp it Miss it's just the way I am' and she is incapable of working without endless talking and voicing every thought out loud. I sit her right in front of me so that she has the conversation with me rather than anyone else. For our last assessment I let her go sit on the floor in the corridor and use a chair as a desk because she freely admitted there was no way she was going to be able to shut up for half an hour and she'd just 'put everyone off and end up with a warning and do my head in'.

I have to remember to print everything for her on blue paper and she literally punches the air and attempts to fist bump me every time because I'm the only one who remembers I'm aware she gets into lots of trouble in some classes but she is great and you just have to keep rechanneling her energy and gob towards the subject matter.

I had a very bright girl sat at the back of the room who was always getting warnings for talking and being off task and I then realised it was that every boy fancies her and constantly tries to get her attention and engage her. I've now sat her next to Bobette and she is good at helping me redirect Bobette and has no eyeline with any of her would be suitors and the two of them beg for housepoints every lesson and do all of my bidding because bright girl's mum told her she better get a housepoint every bloody time in my lesson after seeing the warnings.

It's all worked out well and I get lots of entertainment.

Jenny is one of those big prehensile aliens from Dr Who that took over the government. They seem human but they can't understand human life.
