@CPawsty Best wishes to you both! I hope you had the best day. 🎉🎉🎉

@cinnotomon I have a scar on my wrist from when I borrowed mum's hairdressing sheers and tripped up the stairs on the way to my bedroom and stabbed myself. I am the literal cautionary tale to not run with scissors.

@StuartLock All these HOY exhaustion stories only serves to suggest that workloads for pastoral are just unsustainable. A few weeks ago I fell asleep at a temporary traffic light on the way home after another long day. Only 3 years in as HOY and already feel like I don't have much more in me

@MissAHadley I am!

@A_Falvey You could try the RSPCA? Poor little thing 😢

[Mary @MissJonesRWBA]

@A_Falvey Bless you! Many years ago I once clothes-lined myself on a wall mounted TV during a yr 11 class. The silence was deafening until they realised I was ok and then they couldn't pull themselves together after that 😂 Hope you're ok!

Teaching full time & working as a Head of Year in pastoral is like spinning 1000 plates, chaotic, never ending. I feel like I’ve worked 3 weeks in 3 days 😵‍💫

Iceland 2024 Update - All staff and students have arrived safely. Minor changes to today’s plan. Students lucky enough to see the eruption during our landing.

Leaders who are authentically nice and trust you and genuinely support you - stay with them. Whatever their weaknesses, think hard before you leave them. In our education system, they are gold dust.

We should be breaking up today, but we've got another week left. What kind of sick joke is this?

[Mary @MissJonesRWBA]

So true! Thank you @THEAnitaEllis @MariRob20340509 for always being so supportive!

[Mary @MissJonesRWBA]

@willguyatt @wiltscouncil Report it to the school if there is one. They'll likely have more info that could hurry it along!

@SuellaBraverman I guess homelessness is ok as long as you can't see it.

Timeless advice:

If a teacher you know is drowning under heavy workload, don’t try to give them a swimming lesson, just pull them out of the water.
