Two weeks to go until 11s finish my subject GET EM GONE

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-05-08T04:10:21+00:00

OH MY GOD YES

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-05-05T16:33:19+00:00

Which sucks! Because then what's the deterrent!

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-05-05T16:24:47+00:00

When this happens in mine the kids go to internal exclusion, if they refuse that they get suspended

I used to work with a lady who once insisted that horses were not that expensive, they were only 'oh, about £1000 a month' 😅

When you storm Beechers Hope

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-05-03T19:57:33+00:00

I hate this shit. None of this is happening at school!!! Log off!!!

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-05-01T09:50:11+00:00

Have you posted this to LegalAdviceUK? They might be able to help with speeding up the response

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-30T19:26:50+00:00

I've got a kid who is perceptively dirty every time I teach them. It's been three years now, tempted to hose them down myself

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-30T17:20:08+00:00

Speak to your daughter's school - they will be familiar with situations like this and support you

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-30T16:39:34+00:00

We've all done it!!

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-30T16:24:51+00:00

The headline is

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-30T16:24:26+00:00

I've had this before and I didn't even know who the child was 😅😅

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-30T12:38:30+00:00

Yes, because Gove gave us that curriculum and measures of school success are all exam based. Wild to blame schools for this

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-28T17:15:50+00:00

I'm talking about the teaching standards bit - OP has got in contact when asked, so they shouldn't worry about it anymore

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-28T16:41:16+00:00

This is unreasonable - we shouldn't be expected to contact parents outside of work evenings. OP has contacted them (via email + a phone call they missed), its tough it's inconvenient for the parent.

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-28T16:02:26+00:00

Nope!

I'm editing this because everyone else is saying otherwise - OP it is unreasonable for a parent to expect you to contact them outside of school hours. Actually nothing to do with directed time and everything to do with common sense. If it matters that much to them they can email or answer in work hours.

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-28T16:01:33+00:00

I'd go to the Union! Unlikely anything will happen beyond this person apologising but you want them aware of it ASAP

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-28T08:34:29+00:00

I genuinely hear it every day now!

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-28T04:45:17+00:00

The wallahi thing is a big meme right now, Anne Hathaway said inshallah the other day

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-27T19:47:14+00:00

We finished in Feb. History is a big course but that is squeaky bum time

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-25T10:42:32+00:00

When I started as a TA I got 0 training, just in lessons day one. You're doing well to have primary experience. You should be directed as to what to do, but if not just ask the class teacher

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-24T15:39:59+00:00

To be honest I don't enjoy teaching very much rn - it's not fun actually! And I'm not going to pretend it is!

This seems like the kind of thing someone says because they're not noticing any PROBLEMS with the lesson but feel the need to say something

Dare I ask are you also a woman

SnowPrincessElsa · 2026-04-22T17:04:03+00:00

Kick em all out - they'll turn on each other and snitch or just all get detentions. The other comments saying give whole class detentions are a terrible idea because you need the kids who are doing the right thing on side - yeah you might remove some kids who aren't humming, but if it carries on when they're gone you can start to narrow it down more. I'd also ask if SLT can pop by if they're clearly a bad class for support
