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.

Watch your step, MrsHP 😑

You all have to read this letter to Gav. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/coronavirus/a4286332-Headteachers-unions-ask-Gav-WTF-is-the-plan-for-September

Also, I'm asking for volunteers to snog Gav under a CCTV camera. Herc?

noblegiraffe · 02/07/2021 12:46

Mistress teaching dreams aren't supposed to come till the last week of the holidays. Sort it out!

@HSHorror

Also why according to another thread are uni students and some hcp using saliva tests and noone else. Despite the fact it's horrible for kids.
Because Matt Hancock's mate didn't have a huge stash of salvia tests that he made in the backroom of his pub?

Volunteers to snog Gav under the CCTV has just made me laugh so much! 🤣

TheHoneyBadger · 02/07/2021 13:56

Congrats name - knew you'd do it!

Thanks for kind words. Ds claims he would 'literally kill himself' if I made him leave the country or go to a boarding school. Have sat and looked at his progress towards megs (or not) today and discussed how things have to change. Suggested a change of school to one with better behaviour and classroom management (my school isn't shit across the board but some subject areas kind of are plus he's had 5 different form tutors in less than 3 years and god knows how many Maths teachers with varying commands of the English lesson and I'm really not loving their behaviour and pastoral approach at the minute). He says then he'd be the one naughty kid and stand out and end up getting removed from every lesson.

Bloody teenagers. Ds is fantastic, he was a fantastic child and I think he'll be a fantastic man but teens are tricky and he is not a good fit for sausage factories and I can't be too mad about that because I wasn't either.

Off to pick up hrt patches shortly - hoping they will be the miracle answer to everything or at the very list get rid of these nightmare hot flushes.

LFTs are a waste of space and time imo and a massive distraction from reality. Not surprised to read that article.

StaffRepFeistyClub · 02/07/2021 14:55

The thought of snogging Gav has made me feel a little ickle bit sick.

Sorry team I cant stand that idiot and there is absolutely no way I could snog him for that Hancock style departure.

Perhaps someone else can do it ...

chocolateisavegetable · 02/07/2021 16:39

I am prepared to ...

donate money to pay for someone else to snog him.

Best I can do, sorry.

Piggywaspushed · 02/07/2021 16:41

Love Geoff's letter. You can tell he was an English teacher with all those persuasive devices!

noblegiraffe · 02/07/2021 16:42

Where is Herc?

She said, and I quote, 'I'm here for all your snog, marry, avoid needs.' And we need a snog.

MrsHamlet · 02/07/2021 16:49

I got to present Geoff with an award for services to English when he moved over to the union. That was a good night.

RigaBalsam · 02/07/2021 17:02

Ok guys I will do it. I need to diet for summer and it will turn my stomach for the months I need to lose weight.

Can't believe I just said that.

noblegiraffe · 02/07/2021 17:19

Omg Riga!! 🎖

noblegiraffe · 02/07/2021 17:40

Michael Gove and Sarah Vine are divorcing! Shock

So who was snogging him???

WhenSheWasBad · 02/07/2021 17:41

I’ve kissed some frogs in my time but I draw the line at Gav.

I’ll let riga take the hit.

ChloeDecker · 02/07/2021 17:41

Was it you noble who read between the lines on a recent piece of hers? Very interesting. Seems like they are all at it, currently.

WhenSheWasBad · 02/07/2021 17:41

Now I really do feel sick.
RigaBalsam · 02/07/2021 17:48

I am allowed LOA and a free trip to Whitehall for this right?

motherrunner · 02/07/2021 18:00

You may even have it paid @Riga!

Hercisback · 02/07/2021 18:00

I'll take one for the team. Supply me with gin and hangover food in support.

Hercisback · 02/07/2021 18:03

Riga I can see the headlines "Gav in three way with MN Honeyz"

Piggywaspushed · 02/07/2021 18:07

Allegedly, Gove will be coming out soon.

noblegiraffe · 02/07/2021 18:09

What, why are you all queuing up to have a go on Gav now? It only needed a snog!!

DanglingMod · 02/07/2021 18:18

@Piggywaspushed

Allegedly, Gove will be coming out soon.
I'm saying nothing. But I were to say something, they'd be French and one would be "surprise" and one "quelle..." Grin
DreamingofBrie · 02/07/2021 18:21

Riga and Herc ShockShock.

Can't even countenance the thought Grin. I can see the tabloid headlines now.

noblegiraffe · 02/07/2021 18:21

I prefer to think of Gove as asexual.
