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.

After a Christmas night out, perhaps, Honey? Wink

It was at about 4 pm, I guess. They were behind a building on the school fields. Year 9. Vom.

My child's last things were squeaks and miaows. She is currently identifying as a cat. It's very tedious.

“Oh c’mon Miss Piggy, school’s finished for the day, don’t be such a killjoy.....”

RuleWithAWoodenFoot · 05/06/2021 15:13

Oh. They've started surge testing around where my school is. Partner is convinced that I'm going to be doing more remote learning this term. I fucking hope not. For a start he's taken over my office since his has been knocked down as part of the building work.

Piggywaspushed · 05/06/2021 15:16

I believe the exact words were 'I was just helping him look for something he lost earlier, miss'

Followed by ' my mum's going to kill me. Do you have to tell her?'

TheHoneyBadger · 05/06/2021 15:29

I was thinking more of as a teenager Mistressi! Definitely not as an adult. I don't think I've even ever snogged another teacher. God it would be nice to work with snoggable teachers Grin

noblegiraffe · 05/06/2021 15:29

As pupil or staff, Honey?

noblegiraffe · 05/06/2021 15:30

Cross-post!

(We did once find two kids having sex at school. Bleugh) I once found a girl with her hands down a boy's pants IN MY LESSON!!!! I was an nqt, and these were top set year 8 kids. I really had no idea what to do about that! I called the on-call SLT member and let them deal with it.

JanFebAnyMonth · 05/06/2021 15:46

Oh crikey rule, that is a tad worrying....

There’s surge testing popping up left right and centre. Not sure if there’s any point to it really.

JanFebAnyMonth · 05/06/2021 15:47

I mean I know there’s a point, just don’t know if it achieves much.

Iamnotthe1 · 05/06/2021 16:46

When I was in Y9, one of the girls in my class used the darkness of an end of term video lesson to give oral sex to a boy. That was the end of video lessons 😂

JanFebAnyMonth · 05/06/2021 17:45

noble, how do you make yourself care about hourly reminders to move and fireworks graphics? I too have those but they do virtually nothing for me. The hourly one might if it repeated until you actually moved substantially... mine doesn’t.

TheHoneyBadger · 05/06/2021 17:59

Jordan gave a friend of mine a blow job in Science Shock at a school I did one of my PGCE placements at. Doesn't sound like her peers were too surprised by her future career path.

JanFebAnyMonth · 05/06/2021 18:22

Am very confused by your post honey and am not sure if I want it unpicked! Any typos there ??

JanFebAnyMonth · 05/06/2021 18:31

Have just read Jordan/ Katie Price’s (self-penned?) Wikipedia entry. Enlightening.....

chocolateisavegetable · 05/06/2021 19:34

Surge testing for children and school staff in a neighbouring town after number of Covid cases more than doubled in the space of a week Shock

chocolateisavegetable · 05/06/2021 19:36

Sorry - that should be infection rates, rather than number of cases

JanFebAnyMonth · 05/06/2021 19:41

It’s interesting that we haven’t had a news conference for about a fortnight, isn’t it?

noblegiraffe · 05/06/2021 19:44

how do you make yourself care about hourly reminders to move and fireworks graphics?

You get special fireworks if you do it for a week.

I think you have to challenge yourself to get a streak, then keep it up. If you've got any friends with the same watch you can have a weekly competition.

noblegiraffe · 05/06/2021 19:45

Boris got married, Jan, he can't be expected to run the country as well.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 05/06/2021 20:26

Has he ever been expected to run the country even when he isn’t getting married?

noblegiraffe · 05/06/2021 20:31

Well it's in his job description so I think the expectation is there, but the reality is a horde of people circulating around him who are very willing to take that awful burden off his hands. Carrie, Cummings, the CRG etc etc.

Can't send Carrie out to do a press conference though, that would look really obvious. Oh no, wait, he's sending her to G7.

namechangedyetagain · 05/06/2021 20:37

Someone have a cold glass of wine for me. I'm having some kind of meltdown. Still trying to write against the standards and I've not even stated the planning yet. Need a good cry.
