I get my first day in the control room, listening in on phone calls on Tuesday. The atmosphere's great. Everyone appears genuinely welcoming and supportive.

I expressed to my student and parent today that professional teachers on strike deserved more pay. I think they agreed! Solidarity with all the teaching professionals. I hope the government sees sense and gives you a decent offer soon. G

There are enough educators on here that I thought it might be nice to have somewhere supportive to rant and problem solve.

Everyone is welcome.
