Some interesting stuff in there but also some concerning gaps and lack of detail in places.

Thought I’d give a more considered reply without it being hijacked...

Your employer has a duty of care to ensure your welfare as well as the students. They have to provide conditions of work that keep you ‘safe’ even if you are remotely working - and that includes a reasonable amount of workload. Do you have a union rep in your school? It would be worth both of you contacting them and sharing your experience. Is your head of department approachable? (They should be if they are a decent one)

The people doing the whizzy, fancy online learning stuff - just let them get on with it. Don’t try and compete with them or feel under pressure to do the same. There will always be people like that - most with the best of intentions for the kids, and a few that simply do it to make themselves look good at the expense of others.

Take care and there’s always some ‘lefties’ on here to chat to if it gets too much.

Thanks for all of that, head of dept said as much this morning. It’s just a perfect storm of things and with everything remote I have no means of perceiving what is and isn’t standard or excessive. I just don’t feel able to do what I think is the minimum.

Don't you get it? You are everything you hate.

You claim everyone is permanently offended, a a snowflake.

Take a look in the mirror, there's only one person who is offended and throwing an almighty tantrum.

Calm down snowflake.

Of course - it’s a completely unique situation for our profession. I think as well it can be made worse by the school/MAT you are part of. My wife and I work for different trusts and while mine has a lot of issues in it they have recognised that staff welfare and working from home is the most important thing (apart from the welfare of the kids obviously) so they have backed off with all the excessive stuff. My wife’s MAT however are using this time to overtly obsess with their ‘corporate image’ and making teachers complete onerous tasks in the name of uniformity and ‘consistency’

Now you’ve spoken to your HOD it’s their responsibility to act on your behalf.

He’s also a massive virtue signaller, constantly going on about how he doesn’t attend games.

And he’s in a cushy overpaid job with extra time off thanks to unionisation.

The self loathing must be intense.

I like his approach today- he’s sick of taking a daily beating & has no way of sticking up for the govt any more so is starting out on the wind up right from opening bell, get a bit of ‘revenge’, admirable enough & It’s working so far with people replying. The argument is flawed a bit by referring to it being a mistake coming on- he spends his entire life on here and is the most addicted poster of all

Yep it seems to me he's become everything he claims to hate.

Still no need for the homophobia though

Definitely got a issue with his own lack of formal education.
He needs to deal with it. Sounds like he's done ok for himself.
And I say this as someone who left school with 4 cses.

I don’t need to take a different approach as I have pointed out this is not a representation of the real world

As for addicted you have been averaging close to a thousand posts a month on non football related matters on a football forum

I've stayed out of the politics so far, but will make the following observations.

Keir Starmer has come across as a reasonable leader (profess to know little about him)
Boris is in a no win position. Clearly he won't be dealing with any of the detail (down to others), but whoever is in charge of leading the country is going to be criticised for either messing up the economy or causing the death of additional people. Easy time to be in opposition, which is why I am glad Starmer isn't taking cheap pot shots. If ever there was a time for all sides to be working together, it's now. it's not time for Brexit 2. Also find it interesting how Scotland, Wales etc are trying to establish a different agenda, which the cynic in me thinks they are trying to accentuate their national identity, rather than all working together. Not a time to play politics for politics sake.

In fairness he probably got it from the same website that told him Lord Of The Flies was written by I Golding, so cut him some slack

Back on topic and regarding schools. My wife was talking to one of my daughters friends last night who has a child with very bad asthma in reception and a child in year six with my daughter. She rang the school and said she doesn’t want to send either children to school as the youngest has asthma and the eldest could bring it home. The head told her it’s her decision and the school wouldn’t take any action. My wife has spoken to a friend of hers who is a primary school teacher this morning and she has said that the school she works at is sending out a letter advising parents that the school cannot practically in any sense ensure social distancing is adhered to and it’s for the parents to decide if they’re happy with that or not and decide wether to send their children back or not. Do any of the “faggots” on here have a similar response from the schools they work at?
