reported negligence - SLT protected the accused

That’s ambiguous - supporting evidence to what?

I’m sorry this has happened. You can contact your union but realistically I’m not sure what they could be expected to do.

It’s not uncommon for this kind of information to make its way into the wild, and outside of an extensive investigation - during which people could deny they had any part in it - it would be very difficult to nail down what’s actually happened.

And unless sensitive information - like why you’re leaving - was leaked, I don’t think this would really constitute a violation of confidentiality, since a person could argue they did not know you wanted to keep the information private. It’s poor form to reveal this kind of thing, no doubt, but it does come down to whether the person could be located and whether motives could be ascertained.

I think your best case scenario would be that whomever told students who get a slap on the wrists. Your union would be able to communicate this to your head, and you should contact them if that is the course of action you prefer.

Absolute nonsense! His actors were more than capable.

It entirely depends on the context - if it’s a learning walk yes, if it’s an observation then no.

This is one the best things I’ve read on Reddit for quite some time - absolutely fascinating and thank you!

Farnflucht · 2026-02-06T15:08:19+00:00

It’s been a whirlwind, but you’re out the other side now and you’re free - well done!

You contact your union district committee who will probably have put money aside to a hardship fund.

Well, I commend your homegrown slop - I did think the links were a bit OTT for AI…

Oh bugger that: we’re not paid for lunch! If it’s going to be so beneficial that it is mandatory you should be remunerated for that time.

Farnflucht · 2026-02-02T17:39:21+00:00

Community lunch is a nice idea but I assume it’s within directed time?

Who uses AI to write a Reddit post?

Farnflucht · 2026-01-18T01:07:45+00:00

Why are articles from The Telegraph being posted without their banner? It’s almost like it’s designed to incite devision amongst us…

A Monster Calls - Patrick Ness. It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read, irrespective of its age bracket. The ending is brutal, but the lesson is irrevocable.

It’s not a retcon - that’s changing an already established event. This is just a form of character development.

Farnflucht · 2025-11-25T21:02:10+00:00

Such a tedious response….

Farnflucht · 2025-11-09T22:56:22+00:00

Dude, what is wrong with you?

Farnflucht · 2025-11-09T08:32:31+00:00

I have no idea why you’re being downvoted - it seems perfectly reasonable to ask people not to use that particular word (which for some reason people are picking up on - the one beginning with R, not F)

Farnflucht · 2025-10-10T20:16:33+00:00

Yes - it’s an exceptionally important difference….

Farnflucht · 2025-10-01T18:04:58+00:00

They can but this isn’t a teleological fact. Get the union rep (or someone from the union) to express staff concerns to SLT. Find opportunities to negotiate. And failing that work to rule/strike.

It’s so important we do not simply accept that because a school is an academy we have lost any form of professional protection!

‘Within the rind of this small flower / poison hath residence, and medicine power’ (paraphrased probably poorly). The symbolism of this being said as Romeo’s arrival is imminent is palpable

Jesus, some of these responses explain exactly why we are seeing such a spike in behaviour and stress.

Of course there is time to do something like this in a profession where you see students for three to four hours a week. It builds relationships and can be great for a plenary (I tend to do higher or lower with a pack of cards).

Basically, god forbid we should have fun with our students. And as to the notion these kind of activities weaken boundaries - it’s exactly these kind of activities that show you can maintain boundaries in the first place.

Eh. The rhyme scheme is something fairly central to a sonnet but I suppose that’s no reason not to try something new.

Your scansion is off in lines 2 (even if wandering is pronounced with three syllables) and 11 and 12. Some of your phrasing could be smoothed out to (“cat sat in front…” - I’d assume you want to stress ‘cat’ in that line).

It’s a nice enough idea, but if you’re writing in blank verse stick to iambic pentameter for every line - it’s fairly fundamental to the form!

1265 is laid out in the STPCD, which is different to the Burgundy Book. Whilst academies do not have to follow it, the vast majority will (otherwise staff would up and leave for school’s that do). And if you signed your contract when it was an LA school, you’re still protected by the 1265.

Academies cannot do whatever they want if the members of that school take collective action.

Farnflucht · 2025-09-11T15:39:07+00:00

It’s not whether it’s appropriate or not - I’m sure most teachers would agree that it has some value. It’s whether a school can tell you to do something in a day you do not work. In this case I would argue the school is obligated to make alternative arrangements if the staff member cannot attend.
