I was just wondering how many of us teachers are now on here?
If so what and where?

I am Head of Media and also teach drama...
In Dorset...

And how many more people we can p*** off by telling about how long it is before our summer holidays....

:)




I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which i`m dying are the best i`ve ever had.

I thought you were setting course work or tickin... I mean marking.

Care in the football community is proved not to work.


It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

my wife is a key stage one teacher......she`s not on here but i occasionally show her the odd funny post.

She`s part time at the moment - only 2 days a week and she`ll finish at the end of this term as we`re having another baby.

I gotta tell ya......all the holidays, the early finish and a bloody good pension. I`d put up with any old sh*t from any council estate kids for that :D

Doc, did you not read what I taught...?
Media and Drama - as little ticking as possible...

and I have just spent £160 of school money in HMV, for, er, films for the media course next year ;)

What do you do on teacher training days or are these just additional holidays?

Additional holidays?
How very dare you...

Well it has been known to go and play paintball or do arty things or days out with nice dinners...so we are def working still :o

Or pretend to sit in a meeting for a couple of hours.

For the kids

Never had them in my time at school

What changed?

ohh....for the kids ;)

Yes, if we have "TT Days" they don`t come in...normally about 3 a year or so!

...do my head in at half the schools I visit to fix stuff, not that I`m on the road for the next 3 weeks (not bitter at all about it).




I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

When fishermen catch dolphin-friendly tuna, how do they know which tuna are being friendly to dolphins?
