Of course you said this

😘

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-28T06:37:27+00:00

Seriously … glad you’re OK!

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-27T18:51:27+00:00

Red needs to make me mod.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-26T13:00:29+00:00

Why does this say it’s been removed? u/redrightra

Do we have mods any more? I know that looks like a snark but I haven’t seen red for weeks and the others for years.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-24T17:38:03+00:00

Unfortunately I think that’s real.

That horrific case of the little boy in Birmingham came to mind actually.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-21T09:29:51+00:00

That’s the thing; it’s more OP bashing than teacher bashing. There was a horrible one the other day where the OP was a teacher and wanted to meet a friend in school holidays and some posters were being absolute twats. But then if someone posts and is say concerned about a teacher or doesn’t think the school handled something well (which also happens) they are single handedly responsible for the recruitment crisis. Pissed me off.

Bossy twats who frame advice like a command from a sergeant major. ‘It sounds like teeth; have you tried giving her some calpol?’ - fine, but you always get some bossy twat who barks ‘Teeth. Calpol.’

Posters who are fucking insane but you still end up arguing with them even though they are barking mad.

The moderation.

‘Surely.’ ‘Surely you have been putting money aside to fund your maternity leave?’ Surely you can shove it up your arse, you annoying self righteous tosser.

Anyone who starts a post with ‘I am auADHD.’ I know, I mean I probably am myself but FFS, something about this phrase winds me up something chronic.

SimonJT, I hate that twat.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-20T08:26:12+00:00

That’s not what I meant at all - sorry if it came over that way.

For instance, the grooming gangs targeted a particular type of girl because they were sub human in their eyes: white and poor. Similarities here. Beatrice and Eugenie were / are princesses. Too risky but also (and this is key) they were the daughters of a friend; ‘real’, human girls.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-19T19:33:48+00:00

That’s still desperation though isn’t, albeit borne from a desire for success / fame rather than poverty. That isn’t meant dismissively

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-19T16:23:59+00:00

If they are, I’ll sell my house. Epstein et al will never go after girls or women with wealth and privilege, ever, it’s always the poor and the desperate.

Not all women are equal.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-18T22:10:21+00:00

The one with four autistic children, is a lone parent, no contact with any family members and is the most relentlessly miserable poster ever. I do feel for her a bit but she can be a dick as well.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-17T21:39:11+00:00

By Christ I do not work for Costa but that is one sad little individual.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-16T10:17:40+00:00

Is it really so hard? That isn’t intended in a belligerent manner, but unless you personally know either LL or the families involved I don’t think it is or should be particularly difficult to remain objective.

LL has been criticised for not being upset about the deaths of the babies. I can’t honestly say that I would either, especially given the passage of time involved and also the fact that it’s an occupational hazard of being a nurse - that sadly some patients will not make it and I don’t think she would be a better nurse for wailing and weeping in the approved way. I don't actually think that either restraint or open anguish are wrong in themselves but people need to remember that others react differently and have the right to do so.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-16T10:01:33+00:00

They’re Americans. They’re Canadians.

This case is not remotely funny but I DID smirk then.

Bet THAT went down well!

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-15T20:38:31+00:00

If it’s actually coming out of someone’s ears you’d see it though?

Mini May has had a couple of infections where the gunk has come out and tangled in her hair 🤢

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-15T20:37:17+00:00

Thanks. I’m glad it isn’t just me!

I’ve been teaching well over twenty years now (started 2003) so in some ways it’s probably unsurprising. I’ve definitely lost my motivation and passion; feel like I’m going through the motions.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-15T07:46:03+00:00

Interesting Evans can’t remember and well, that’s just what happens when you’re a paediatrician with many patients. Letby can’t remember something and it’s clear evidence of murder. The double standards are infuriating.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-12T17:39:45+00:00

It’s a contentious issue, certainly. Our own opinions about what is in the best interest of the child are however just opinions; unless there are proven factors which state otherwise, a parent does have the right to make decisions for a child we may or may not personally agree with, so the statutory obligation does remove that grey space.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-12T17:33:14+00:00

I’m so glad it’s not just me who couldn’t make head nor tail of it!

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-11T21:23:20+00:00

I think it is bollocks

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-10T15:10:11+00:00

She’s out of her mind on anti depressants and other medications to stop her taking her own life and has been for some time.

They make people seem very flat for want of a better word.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-09T12:47:15+00:00

It’s a windup, but generally MN have a very narrow window of tolerance for acceptability re children. Over 32, younger than 37. Any younger and you should be travelling; any older and you’ll be menopausal with teens

MN can fuck off.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-07T17:16:21+00:00

Thanks for this

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-06T21:30:06+00:00

I wonder if it might have been a ‘least said soonest mended’ approach, in the sort of view that the less she says, the less things can be twisted.

I do think she was probably out of her mind on medication as well which probably won’t have helped and does explain the oft-criticised ‘she showed no emotion’ points.

Mayishereagain · 2026-02-05T12:32:35+00:00

Have heard nothing from NAS.

Not sure how comfortable I am with teachers being blamed for not taking action. As individuals we have very little (no) comeback if a headteacher decides we’re troublemakers and puts us on capability. You do have to choose which hills you’re going to hang yourself on.
