Anonymous query: If a teacher is on a four-day timetable, is it reasonable for an HLTA or cover supervisor to take the class on day five, given that all the lessons are already planned?

This is pretty mad whichever way you look at it, even more so the increases. Eye watering stuff.

@ICT_MrP Also, it will be the TAs that cover ! They should, of course , have the same flexibility but somehow us lowest wage lot never seem to get that.

On Loose Women today they were talking about teachers having a bit more flexibility despite the holidays. We’re living in a world where more and more jobs are hybrid, flexible and built around real life. Teaching is one of the few professions that hasn’t moved with the times.

@ICT_MrP There should be a degree of flexibility, my god, teachers go above and beyond. But not so that there is regular time off. Not fair on the class.

“Every time I start talking I am interrupted, turn by turn, by at least 8 pupils. I can’t even give an explanation. When they’re finally silent for 30s, 3 pupils will raise their hand to ask to go the toilet or an inane off topic Q. Repeat for an hour. I’m quitting.”

Busy writing a blog on tips for the new OFSTED framework whilst listening to Chumbawamba and drinking cider. Which is my idea of fun FYI.

My headteacher sometimes (quite often)isn’t in school and nobody says where he is. We had 8 staff off last week in a small school and he still wasn’t in. Feels a bit odd?

I am now off ICU and on a ward. Still a way to go yet. May have to have a permanent feed to prevent this happening again. Extremely challenging situation and tough days ahead.

@xAimieCrewex It’s the having to have composure and show no emotion in front of children that’s what makes it a different job to others

@Headteacherchat Whose idea was it to price people out of the event? £39 is way too much. I feel so much for those people who probably now feel secondhand. Very bad planning. Can't you cancel it? I would.

Anon post: We’ve just sent out the email for the staff Christmas party, but four of our fantastic TAs have already declined because they can’t afford the £39 cost per person. I really don’t want finances to be a barrier to them joining. Has anyone found good, low-cost or inclusive alternatives to ensure everyone can celebrate together?

Our Airbnb holiday comes to an end and this is my favourite part. Tidy the apartment, strip the beds, put the bins and recycling out, water the plants and still pay ££££ for the cleaning costs. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

It was read to me by my Junior School HT in the 80’s. I still read it to my KS2 children now. Faux rage whilst reading ‘Scissors’ still gets a laugh. RIP Allan.

@MichaelRosenYes Whenever friends or family have a new baby, my wife and I buy them a copy of Peepo. I think it is the best baby book ever written.
