So today I found out with my colleagues where we will all will be next year. Surprised at how early it is, normally it’s not till last two weeks of term.

@authorRyarros When will part 2 be out?

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

Is it just me or are any other staff (particularly TA’s) spoken to like 💩 by upper KS2. Feeling like can’t do job, with the disrespect & defiance get off some pupils! After almost 10 years in role, considering whether it’s for me anymore.

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

Each year, it seems they get more defiant younger and younger. They simply don’t care either. #StateOfEducation

Had a fascinating conversation with a nursery teacher of almost 30 yrs. She was saying one of the biggest changes she’s seen in recent years is the number of children who say ‘no’ and simply refuse to follow any adult instruction. She said it used to be super rare but not now.

End of the #SchoolHolidays been kept busy by other half today, since missed my birthday in week. As they were still at work. So haven’t felt the #SundayBlues till now. #IDontWantToGoBack

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

How is it Thursday already? This week off if going WAY too fast! I would definitely shorten #SummerHolidays to make all rest of #HalfTerm breaks a minimum 2 weeks long!

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

@Iamme02642837 Thanks. Hope you are feeling better soon.

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

FINALLY made it to #February #HalfTerm it’s been a long one. A much needed week off starts now.

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

@authorRyarros Just started Iron Flame dramatised audio book (part 1). I know a bit late to party, but hooked.

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

Anyone else still got a week left to go till get to #HalfTerm? #SundayBlues Jealous of all posts seeing have next week off. Know this time next week, the shoe will be on the other foot, but still feel 😩

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

@Iamme02642837 Thanks. Tried nasal spray, vicks, hot & cold compresses, lozenges for throat, paracetamol & ibuprofen, lots of fluids. Only thing helping is lots of sleep! Lived in pj’s whole weekend.

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

3 weeks #BackAtSchool & I have come down with the most dreadful #SinusInfection after what I initially thought was a cold! Feeling like been punched right between eyes! #TA

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

@Iamme02642837 I’ve got 4 weeks and 4 days left! 😕

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

Even though been back two weeks, still have #SundayBlues about going #BackToSchool tomorrow. How many more weeks till next #SchoolHoliday?

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

Enjoyed today, got so much done. I could certainly get used to a #ThreeDayWeekend

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

No #SundayFeeling tonight, knowing have a PD day tomorrow & it’s one I don’t need to be in for!

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

Made it to #HalfTermHolidays. What started well, ended with some heads being rested. Hopefully, a week off will do us all some good. Fingers crossed for smooth return is what is a chaotic half term in itself in lead up to #Christmas!

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

Long busy week at work, have started coming down with #Cold but is a few other contagious things going round. #WishMeLuck for last two weeks till #HalfTermBreak

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

Home from #School to post from #HMRC asking me to check I am not being underpaid! I am, but that’s just the shocking low wages get for being a #TeachingAssistant unfortunately.

[Smoggy TA @TA_Smoggy]

Other half is still out & I’m going to bed! Yup, it’s #BackToSchool hope he doesn’t mind sleeping in spare room tonight.
