Agreed. Sometimes it distracts me from what people are saying so stupidly I turn the sound up.

Haha. That goes brilliantly with that Harry Enfield Yorkshire bloke picture you've adopted .

That's very commendable. English bastards.

I have a problem with the kneeling inasmuch as I can't get up again.

Crybaby. You chose KS 3/4. No one forced you.

Haven't put it down at all. Quite the contrary. You're clearly working 80 hours a week which is commendable but unsustainable. Your choice. Teaching is about knowing what to leave out as much as much as what is required, particularly at times like these.

Yeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss

You can have a gold sticker for being pupil of the week. When you have 6 , you can have a certificate in assembly and some sweets.

Oh thanks. You're a top teacher.

You're right wingy. The kids just want a bit of routine and to be with their friends. When they're 5 or 6 years old missing out on a bit of formal learning won't make too much difference, especially if they've done a bit of reading at home.

You know what, I used to teach at a few schools in Cov, mainly north Cov. Most of them were tough, but there was one in North West cov quite a long way out that was absolutely brilliant, and for the life of me I can't remember the name of it. Bugger.

Prick I thought. Qualified KS2 prick.

I never said months. If you've been sneaking into school since lockdown just to get the hours in then you're on your own . Most teachers were sent home not knowing when or if they would go back this term.

Hahaha. I knew you'd put in your two penneth. You work harder than any other teacher in the whole of the UK. Have you missed all those staff meetings ?

Teachers have always worked hard, but they're not working harder now, just differently.

Not really. Not in Ks1. Chuck that medium term plan out of the window. Year 6. Forget the differentiation but it depends how many turn up. Each school will decide on how rigorous they want to follow the curriculum. They aren't exactly going to get an Ofsted inspection whatever they decide...

So you're not then. I am.

Very good question. I've no idea. That's why I think at this school they've got it wrong. However, it does draw attention to the difficulty that one child brings in needing a piss under the circumstances. As for staff god knows how that works. At some primary schools there is no designated male...

As I say it's mainly about numbers . Its an absolute nightmare right now. The kids will not be subject to much of a curriculum in Ks1 . It's about getting back into familiar surroundings, friendships, play, routine , safety. I shouldn't really say it but it's childcare and that's no disrespect...

My grandkids are going in on Thursday and Friday from this week. They are reception and year 1. The class teacher is going to accompany any child that needs the toilet and then bleach the place after. She will leave the classroom to a T.A. during that time. Totally wrong in my opinion. Other...
