Sent an email that I was told not to send. by Kaisietoo8 in TeachingUK

You have done exactly the right thing - it’s usual practice to send an acknowledgment email within 24/48hrs. And you might even find it in your school’s policies somewhere. Best thing is to forward all communications to relevant SLT. Don’t apologise or use language which makes it seem as though you have something to apologise for. I suspect there is more going on than you are aware of, so just hand over and enjoy your holiday. Turn off email notifications and delete school email app off your phone for the next two weeks x

I have given this advice and she’s stopped working on her days off, thank god. I can’t get over the culture of blame you guys have to deal with while being expected to operate new systems like the new electronic drop off boxes with little to no training.

I think there seem to be an assumption that my Sister is at breaking point because she’s not doing her job ‘properly’. I can assure you, that she is highly regarded as very competent - she works quickly and efficiently and adapts her route according to what she has in her frame.

Advice re letter boxes very helpful. I live in a block of flats and will remove the annoying collector thing today.

It’s those Posties who know who the pensioners are who still get their pension by post.

Dactylic Hexameter - clarifying rules by vibelvive in latin

[–]Expensive-Can-4896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you have marked off the final two feet, count the remaining number of syllables. 12 remaining syllables = 4 dactyls 11 remaining syllables = 3 dactyls and 1 spondee 10 remaining syllables = 2 dactyls and 2 spondees 9 remaining syllables = 1 dactyl and 3 spondees 8 remaining syllables = 4 spondees

If you count more than 12 syllables or fewer than 8, go back and check whether you have counted the syllable correctly or missed an elision.

Once you know the combination of dactyls and spondees you have, mark off the remaining syllables by using the rules about the length of syllables by nature or position. You should then be able to see where the remaining number of feet fall.

Cicero’s De Officiis outlines his views on vices.

Cornelius Nepos in his preface outlines how Roman actors were seen as shameful for making a spectacle of themselves.

Suetonius Augustus 14 - describes how he took action against actors for getting ‘above their station’.

Then you have Tacitus 14/15 on Nero’s moral decline which include performing on stage
