The Sixty-Sixth Republic - Who will be the medal winners on Results Day? Grade inflation predicted again

[Staffholidayclubrep]

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.

Stop giving yourself ivermectin, you're not a horse, says the FDA.

I was asked to take part in an ivermectin trial.... I declined.

I'd assume they would at least give you the version meant for humans on a trial.

Weird that some people will go 'I don't trust the vaccine, it's not properly tested so I'm going to load up on horse de-wormer instead'.

Dh should be ok with the amount of it he's splashed on himself / injected when worming cattle over the years 😂

Has he had covid, twinkle? If not, then there's all the proof you need.

No he hasn't!

None of us ( 2 adults, 3 adult children (2 not at home) 2 teens and a 7 year old) have.

Yet .....

Listerine mouthwash is my go-to against infection. I have a totally illogical faith in it. It helps that I use it anyway, so no extra effort on my part.

There was something (scientific, I think) about mouthwash helping prevent COVID I read!!
Will see if can find it

It could kill it in your mouth but that doesn’t help your nose:

So we also need to stick Listerine up our nose. Got it, thanks Jan 👍

@Hercisback

That NQT thread is quite funny. "buy a load of verbal feedback stamps" is excellent.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Where’s the thread? Could do with a laugh!

It's Piggy's ASBOteacher twitter link a few posts back.

Long before feedback stamps became a “thing” - sometime in the mid 90s - I ordered a stamp for the department that said Bollocks. It was quite cathartic. (I seem to remember it was at about that time that pointless paperwork started increasing exponentially, despite assurances that we would soon be a paperless school. I attribute this development to bigger and better printers, plus a lack of faith in email.)

I briefly - very briefly - considered using it as a sinus wash.

For their Secret Santa gift a few years back (before it was banned) someone got a stamp that said, "I haven't got time to read this shit."

Oh, that is brilliant!!! I want one!!

I want a stamp with WTF on it

Standing for “working towards failure” of course.

Peter Openshaw pointing out cases will surge as schools return, also that schools now will be drivers of transmission:

Yup but has anyone told Gav the Secretary of State for Education?

More people should follow this Gav Secretary of State for Education parody account. Always makes me laugh.

And "Grade inflation? Or the best outcomes because you have the best education secretary ever? You decide."

Oh, I follow a different Gav parody account!

Who is the creepy arsehole in the orange trunks who comments at the end of that TES article?????
