How much are you paying for my time? I've already generously provided some public domain information on obesity = input > output on the obesity thread, so I suggest you use that to change people's unhealthy habits instead, rather than your Liverpool-esque faux outrage routine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old man was a teacher, and used to advise student teachers/probationers that it didn't really matter if you got on with the Head teacher, but it was vital to get on with the jannies. This is pretty much true in every walk of life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'd love to be a janny. Old George at my school was a brilliant laugh and was probably the happiest man at the school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much true in every walk of life. Absolutely true. Closely followed by the cleaner who does your room and the canteen staff. Heroes the lot of them. A school is such a real time scenario that if any one member of staff isn't up to scratch it has a huge impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I got my one and only 6 of the lash from the Head Teacher for hitting the Jannie on the head with a tennis ball. He came around the corner just as I volleyed it towards the "goal" at the end of the corridor. Funnily enough, I also managed to hit the music teacher on the brew with a bouncy ball yet received no punishment for that. Obviously the Jannie was higher up the pecking order than the music teacher. 13 minutes ago, Mark Connolly said: My old man was a teacher, and used to advise student teachers/probationers that it didn't really matter if you got on with the Head teacher, but it was vital to get on with the jannies.

Paco Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Let's play bingo: How worried are you about the Antigua variant. Might this delay the exit from lockdown? How satisfied are you with Rangers response? Are you concerned about cases increasing with schools going back? Might this push back the plan for more pupils to return? Welsh barbers are opening on Monday. Why aren't ours? No real investigative questions will be asked.There’s a bit of a problem in NHS Lothian with a batch of vaccine letters going missing - people calling the helpline and finding out their appointment is either very soon, or has already passed. That’ll be the number one panic, followed by the usual drivel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much true in every walk of life. Given that it's the headteacher and not the jannies that give a recommendation at the end of the year it's absolutely vital that you get on with them. That being said, the jannies, IT folk, cleaners, dinnerladies and office staff are the folk to get on with in a school. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, especially if you consider just how dangerous roads are for kids, they’ve got a brilliant job and do a brilliant job in terms of keeping the kids safe. There was a wee lollipop man in dumbarton who used to dance at work (until some arsehole complained about him) and he was the happiest looking guy in the world. People should strive for that level of job satisfaction. 24 minutes ago, ayrmad said: I didn't realise you had to be a good guy to be a socialist, in my UOL experience there are knobs of all hues and persuasions, it's just that those of a wimpier nature seem to have found their voice amongst the anonymity of social media.

scottsdad Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 These press conferences (UK and Scotland) have shown that the press are actually incapable of asking a pointed question, or thinking on their feet. The first journalist will ask two or three vague, rambling questions based on what's been the hot news topic that morning. The minister will pretty much ignore any tricky question and only answer the one they like. Journalist two will then come on and (surprise surprise) ask the same questions again. Often prefaced with "following on from the last question...". Rather than see that their question is done with and come up with something new. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more the entire daily press is pretty quickly moving towards opinion pieces rather than actual journalism and it's really showing. That and they don't want to piss off their pals in high places see Dominic Cummings presser being about as high pressure as a Sunday stroll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
