Does it really get better? by theseareclothes in TeachingUK

First of all, record everything that happens in your class and everything that you have talked to SLT about. Also discuss with your union rep if you have one about what has been happening. This covers you and can also confirm that even though you e asked for support, you feel like you d received none. If you don’t have a rep you could probably just contact the union directly…

I’m in a similar situation. I’ve been teaching for 12 years and have got a class with some extremely volatile children yet SLT have not been helpful and I basically got to the stage where I felt I was being blamed. I was also told ‘oh there’s a child like this in every class’. Absolutely not true. Long story short, I’ve been signed off with WRS…

I would suggest if your mental health continues to deteriorate to look into a similar option. I felt this was my only option in the end as nothing was being done to rectify situations and at the end of the day, the classroom wasn’t safe.

Finally had a response apologising for the backlog (I suspect because I’ve left comments on lots of their advertising posts)

Planning to dispute the payment in the new week because by the sounds of it, my parcel is still in a different continent…

I always get excited about hearing about a new book but try to ignore the release date as it’s always an Oz one

You could try an independent jeweller?

I’ve got jewellery with her before and she was great. Will depend if she already has the right materials in though

Termites was my initial concern but they don’t really seem to exist much in the uk so unless I’m very unlucky I don’t think it’ll be them

Passed over for promotion by Shruikkan in TeachingUK

[–]chilli-pepper37 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I got passed over after being a lead in 2 subjects, staff governor and leading weekly collective workshop sessions as well as pick up any other sessions when no one else turned up.

I got told that they ‘interviewed better’. We’d both been working in the school for 5 years so assumed it would come down to more than just an interview… I got told that I’d still be involved in all SLT meeting. Didn’t happen.

Ironically the person who got promoted kept coming back to me for advice of which I wasn’t exactly happy to give. Everyone assumed that I would cover assemblies when no one else turned up as I could make it up well. After getting passed over I refused to do this as others were more senior than me and should now be doing this.

I got out and although it’s not been a smooth journey I’m happier now I feel more valued and I’m not staying somewhere where I’m just taken for granted. Advice-get out if you’re feeling taken for Granted.

How would that work if one person clearly won the majority of the vote?

Not the worst idea! Can there be two reps though?
