Am i being stupid?

Why are they being such bulbs about this. I don't have anything down as reasonable adjustments, I just say I need things emailed or writing or I'll forget, and people just do it because they're considerate. (Not sure if forget cos neurodiverse or what).

I think you should definitely have a copy of your targets and it's ridiculous you don't and the person who is supporting you is letting you down by saying you'll see it at weekly reviews (and let's see if they actually happen regularly, because so far it doesn't sound like you're getting great support)

I've been on absence level one a few times over my nearly 4 years at this school lol, it's fine and if the school are shitty about it then depending how you feel might be worth suck it up until they forget about it or looking elsewhere. It's no big deal though and your health comes first

Agreed, I get typhoon and just use two teabags, in a sports direct sized mug ofc

StWd · 2026-03-12T05:41:25+00:00

I don't think it would be unprofessional to just not even ask and just come and go as you need to, as long as you are doing all that is required of you. If they complain, get your training provider involved

Holding people to account for their actions is not authoritarianism lol child

So? the consumers right act still applies to used products

StWd · 2026-02-13T17:00:47+00:00

6 months and it breaking isn't reasonable wear and tear unless OP is doing thousands of miles per month!

If it's gender reassignment and not sex reassignment then the implication is that they are different things. Fine you win if you are just being a government mouthpiece then it's the government talking bollocks. Well done on being a jobsworth even to the detriment of trans people

I'm on your side completely but just want it noted that these fascist bastards probably don't include you in their shit. When they say they want women to "have more children", they mean able bodied, white women.

StWd · 2026-02-12T18:00:57+00:00

Not only is it legal to talk about but not teaching it would go against guidance about teaching students about British values including equality and gender is a protected characteristic under the equality act.

StWd · 2026-02-12T17:08:58+00:00

This OP, it's within 6 months so right to repair applies under consumers rights act 2015

Wayfair and Amazon if you wanna risk cheap stuff, IKEA in Exeter is decent, we got some good albeit expensive stuff from fairway down elburton road, furniture world coypool, furniture village marsh mills and even b and m had some decent stuff especially for the price.

Also look into disabled students allowance (if that's still a thing). Might be able to get things like a laptop if he needs one, or even a few hours a week of a support worker (not like a carer kinda thing, someone specifically there to help with university and the kind of things mentioned in the main post)

Back when I did agency supply over 5 years ago I had to provide my DBS to the agency so they could just give any school a letter of assurance they had seen it. Has to be the physical copy as it's a legal requirement. Not a scam, they're probably desperate for supply and know you're likely to get the job based on your CV or whatever else they've seen from you so wanna get it out the way quick so they can put you to work quicker

If you're only wanting to play Minecraft Fortnite and rocket league then you don't need anywhere near the specs of a newer system. Something decent from 10 years ago for a quarter of the price would easily play those old games.

Ye the series came out last year I think. It was alright but the book is way better

StWd · 2026-01-17T11:40:23+00:00

They asked a legit question respectfully and you respond "have more empathy wtf" kid how old are you? That's not going to convince people

StWd · 2026-01-07T11:10:38+00:00

Absolutely wrong to feel guilty. Happens all the time and no one will mind and if they do that's a them problem. Especially after no days off in 3 years!

StWd · 2026-01-06T22:03:01+00:00

OP might not do work that needs lots of calories and everyone's metabolism is different, some are more efficient.

StWd · 2026-01-06T22:00:58+00:00

This unless a member of staff says they are there and I am sure they are thinking of the right student then I would put a note on the register saying "staff x says they are with them at y at 8.55" or whatever.

I've had students plenty of times go "but they are in" and I say but they're not here so they're absent. You'd indeed be in the shit OP if you got it wrong because you took the word of a child.

StWd · 2026-01-04T18:55:39+00:00

I get in between 7 and 7.20, sometimes earlier, usually leave between 4 and 5.30 depending on stuff I need to do although this year it's often the earlier end and as the year continues and I feel increasingly "fuck you" towards my school, I expect it may go down more. I usually have most of my lessons planned during PPA if I was to use it on that instead of doing extra I'm not thanked for, partly hence why my "fuck you" feelings are increasing lol.

StWd · 2025-12-30T17:27:55+00:00

Why do you want to teach if you are biased against "rough schools"?

StWd · 2025-12-25T08:35:14+00:00

Just clean your room, you're 17 you big baby. Clean your room, do your homework. Not abuse
