I'm new to an associate SLT post. looking to share my experiences. under a pseudonym of course :)

Message to all staff. Don't forget your written reports we explaining why your classes haven't been attending live lessons are due at 9am tomorrow.

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

Just watched casualty. That was a mistake. I'm now more terrified than ever of catching this virus. I am really worried this is the year that teaching kills me.

[Teacher's Manual @UnofficialOA]

So, there’s a lot of talk about teachers administering COVID tests.

I can’t even unjam the photocopier without sending for at least three different people.

I feel like the DfE should take that into account.

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

Love a good old parental complaint on a Sunday night. My favourite line "...and you didn't have the manners to replay on Friday night...." a) it was 9pm on Friday and b) sent to the wrong (made up) email 🤦‍♂️ people have very short memories

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

Happy Friday.

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

Let's play a game. Tomorrow I have my first non contact all week (it's actually a double free). What are the odds I get a cover lesson? Y8 German on a Friday? Surely guaranteed.

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

I'm at that point where I am really dreading returning to work on Monday. I am trying to be a productive member of a political SMT with their own agendas while teaching a 0.66 timetable and being generally terrified of the pandemic, both personally and the impact on the kids

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

Is it the Christmas holidays yet? #longesttermever

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

Happy half term gift from the government. Our allocation of 58 laptops has been decreased to 12. Cheers then

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

So exams are going ahead as planned??? Is that a set of GCSE results given out on the friday of a bank holiday weekend? Cheers then

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

Happy Friday to everyone who works in a school. May your weekend be incident free, unlike my Friday afternoon

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

Autumn series exams started today. Bring on our 9 (!) weeks of exams. Oxbridge entries, autumn series, eng and maths resits, mocks for Y10, 11, 12 and 13 in case of CAGs again next year

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

Does it make me a bad person to say I'm loving not being involved in virtual open evening

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

When more senior member of your SLT team is a legitimate dick, how long do you hold out before punching him in the face?

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

What a savage few weeks

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

So, I have reasonably well controlled asthma and am on a secondary school SLT. I havent been in school since 17th March. Should I be going back next week? @NEUnion any thoughts?

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

I really don't want to go back to my current school when this ends. I was looking for jobs before the lockdown and now SLT posts have pretty much dried up.

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

I have not seen another human for 102 hours, except the three dog walkers I saw on my run yesterday.

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

Felt terrible for my Y11s today. Literally had no words for them

[SLT-newbie @SltNewbie]

Not sure how this is going to work.
