The Fifty Ninth Republic - May Half Term beckons

[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 for school staff to let off steam.

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 to non-staff as it attracts the wrong sort of crowd.

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. Do not sit on the chairs and do wear a mask. Finally, upload your covid test results twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays.

...and finally admits she's really an English teacher... noble

Am I the only geographer in here?! 🌍

People will probably read her real name all wrong too rafals

Grammar pedant who will go round correcting us all: dangling.

May well eb typos on own label - piggy

Ignored because geographer: guy. Will probably go off to admire oxbow lake at some point, come back, and colour stuff in.

Has an incredible memory about republicans ... noble

Who will be the first one to get booted out for being loud/drunk/disorderly/aggressive/opinionated?

Ange, you of course

Scottish and not at all intimidating or aggressive: Mistress

Will turn up with a bunch of newspaper clippings for us all to discuss, have a notebook of where everyone lives, will win the 'identify Republicans' game no problem, secret serial killer: Jan

I’d have pegged you for the being booted out, just because of the number of threads you started.

@HercwasanEnemyofEducation

Me in a sentence there noble

😑

Common misconception, Rafa, I am actually exceptionally meek and when booted out it is only by mistake so I am let back in.

Gets in a row with me about Tom Bennett: Chloe

You’re all quite funny.

I'm enjoying all of these descriptions of each other. Now I shall memorise them all so I win the people identifying game at the meet up.

Most likely to drool over a picture of Chris Hemsworth ... also me

Can anyone tell I'm on half term?

Maths teacher, turns up late but then wants to keep going well past everyone's bedtime: DreamingofBrie

As long as I don’t mention ex boyfriend’s or foreign countries I’ll be undercover.

Aren't you supposed to be getting ready, Honey?

If you need rescuing at any point, then post 'I think Gav is doing a really good job' and we'll know you're in trouble.

I'm not good at keeping undercover. Apparently I spill everything the minute someone asks me a question. Year 10 can literally tell you all where I live (down to the closest supermarket), the names of my children, the names of my guinea pigs, my new puppy's name, breed and colour. Can they tell you how to find the area of a triangle? No. They scare me sometimes with how much they know about ME without knowing anything about maths. I don't do well with secrets

I’m hungover and look and feel rough. Poor Jan.

Primary teacher but clever enough to teach secondary: cant

Jeez, Noble. I hope any lurkers have spotted that wink emoji.

I think she might stand me up.

The weather is glorious but I couldn’t wear a skirt or dress because I realised my leg hair is epic and I am so white!

Need to get that sorted before Egypt. Fat and alabaster is not a good 👀

The one none of the primary teachers are talking to - nob

I always used to post as SwallowedAFly which people would shorten to Saf. I went to a big meet up and everyone just called me saf still. Maybe Nob will stick too

The one with no friends and a foot in mouth....? 😭

I was of course referring to the one and only time the Republic nearly had a falling out (which was resolved in minutes).
