Longwayround [LWR] Oct 2022 5:29pm, 22 Oct 2022 1,735 posts	0 Longwayround [LWR] Non-teaching update: I'm loving the training for the Police Control Room. 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.

HappyG(rrr) Feb 2023 6:38pm, 6 Feb 2023 45,501 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Volunteer tutoring is going well. 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

fraggle Feb 2023 6:56am, 7 Feb 2023 3,538 posts	0 fraggle We have the threat of Ofted hanging over at the moment as we are overdue a visit. Senior leadership are driving everyone mad with the seemingly constant comments of ‘this will look good for Ofsted’ and “an inspector would see this and it’ll look bad” I really really wish they wouldn’t give any notice and just arrive out of the blue, then they’d see what it’s like normally

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.
