Sorry for late reply. You’ve hit the nail on the head. None of these people want to protect anyone; not even ‘their own’.

It’s far from perfect, but it’s OUTSTANDING for my MH

I wasn’t rude, I hasten to add. I said I knew things were tough and waiting times long but my ability to carry out my job has come into question and it needs sorting.

People need to advocate for themselves or find someone who can

It’s always the way; always down to us to solve.

It’s already creeping back in and that’s not for me either

And the trouble is, it’ll always be down to teachers to fix it.

Colleagues and I already fear we’re on the verge of going back down the edutainment route to combat classroom passivity

Exactly. And I am baffled how anyone can’t see this.

People defending phone use and ridiculing the curriculum baffle me. How can they now see it? The curriculum isn’t perfect; science needs updating and trimming but we’re not entertainers.

Kids don’t are completely disengaged with the world due to mindless scrolling. Why isn’t anyone addressing it?

That’s so lovely of you and so sad. It’s guy-wrenching disappear.

If the kids get me started on dinosaurs I won’t stop 🤣

Or is absolutely this. So much being regurgitated from IS without anyone checking of it applies here

I suppose it’s going hand in hand with the notion that schools aren’t teaching anything that is deemed relevant

I wonder at what point school will just get handed babies?

I completely understand that the cutting of a plethora of child services has lead to this point, but so much is expected of schools we may as well get them straight out of the womb

And Google. Never in my working life (post-internet) have I needed to worry about this. Plant of reliable salary calculators.

As you said, just more complaints about schools with a generous amount of absolving parents of actual responsibility for teaching their kids *some things*

Oh, that’s exactly where it’s coming from. And as you point out, a valid skill here. The fact people are that ignorant here is really grating. It’s piling more on schools unnecessarily

I don’t think I really meant ‘on my side’ more that their concerns about me being safe in a lab (which is also a concern of mine) could lead to me being pushed out. I’m no good to anyone if I have a permanent limited field of vision

I’m more worried occ health aren’t on my side and I’ll get pushed out
