Teachers' Staff Room Thread

The idea of going out of the teachers pension is knives out moment. The teachers pension is actually pretty decent. I'm ok with paying quite a lot into it due to my experiences with my dad's and my aunts.
 
It'll happen. Most private schools are pulling out. More teachers available for the state sector. Less competitive packages in the Private Schools. Not a bad thing from a distance. Sucks when it's my pension though. That said I have fuck all in the TPS anyway, so I'm screwed regardless.

You can easily transfer it, or get the money back if you paid in for less than two years (I think - it might be three because it depends on when you paid in). I recently applied for and got my payments back (within a week!) and it worked out pretty well because they'd applied interest at rates far better than I'd have got in a bank.
 
Very sick of being patronised in feedback. Have just been observed and although it went very well, there's always some constructive criticism, which is fine and to be expected (I'm not that bothered about being observed usually). In my last workplace these were called 'even better if's which was bad enough but in the new place it's called a 'plus one' which was just really confusing at first. I just told him he could say 'plus one' all he liked but I knew he meant minus. It still ends up being a target anyway.

Hate this shit.

Observations should be just that. Observations. Not some toxic performative managerialism.
 
Update: Very angry staff body. Incl SLT. Strike brewing. When the inspector arrives in the next few weeks they're going to encounter some pissed off and uncooperative teachers I expect. Utter madness to try and rush this through now.
