Hey all. Just spotted this thread. I work in a SEMH school primary and secondary (predominantly primary based) I cover all aspects of speech therapy interventions for the whole school. Its been a funny year and I am so thankful that we've been open since April with next to no issues. Who knows what this next year will bring. |

Teaching unions on the verge of advising their members not to come into school on Monday on H&S grounds, apparently...

Mrs TR is an HLTA at our local primary school. Covers ppa across the school so in all bubbles. She is very anxious about returning to school on Monday

While I totally support the fact that we should be teaching remotely for the next few weeks, all I can say is that teaching that way fills me with so much anxiety. It sounds stupid, but I haven't had a good night's sleep since it became apparent that we would be teaching remotely for at least the first week. I hated it during the summer term. Of course, the anxiety hasn't caused me to do any much needed replanning of my lessons for remote delivery, it has just caused a few more wrinkles and grey hairs! I don't even know why it makes me so anxious. |

I totally empathise, MrsB. I hate teaching online and have left most of my planning to the last minute which has backfired because now I am ill.

I hated teaching online when I also had a key worker bubble to teach all day. Not sure what will be happening at school yet. The Head and I are watching the news and following twitter to get the latest developments! None of our staff have mentioned Section 44 yet...

I'm in an independent school (which means we have smaller class sizes but also really small classrooms so social distancing isn't any better). The school has written into our contracts that it does not recognise the unions and collective bargaining - so not sure how any action instructed by the union will apply to us. I've got a child doing A'levels, one in yr 12 and one in yr 10 taking an early GCSE so it is not exactly stress free at home. My oldest graduated this summer and is desperately looking for work, my older daughter is in her final year at university - she has had 6 hrs of teaching (all of it on line) in total this academic year so far. LindsD - get well soon. I am working on the premise that I know my subject really wel, yr11 & 13 can be give revision topics, and I will be OK once I get started. A bit like lesson observations - I always stress about them, but the minute I start teaching I forget about the observer and just get on with it! |
