After School Misery

The staff

We had a whole staff meeting last night, immediately after school, so we all assembled in the staffroom at 3:20.  A strange time, as we're all tired after teaching our little angels for 5 hours.
The meeting was started by Ringo, who as he often does, spoke very well.  We had tried an experiment of no longer standing-down kids who swore at teachers, and had tried to go down the restorative justice path.
Many of the staff have noticed a deterioration in the kid's behaviour over this period, and we wanted the automatic stand-down restored.  We have had a couple of nasty incidents recently, (see second chance)and the staff mood was not good.

My idea of Restorative Justice

It was agreed that we would go back to the old policy, then the discussions carried on.
Look, I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I've got better things to do than listen to some of the comments made. 

The main loony talking to the Green Party Faithful

Gandhi?  since when did Gandhi have anything to do with Nuova Lazio.
Some may say that Gandhi was a great leader and a statesman of international stature.
I would say that anyone who refused to eat a good steak, who regularly drank his own urine, who wandered around with a bed sheet as clothes and who got shot after saying that non-violent protest was the way to win, was a complete loony and not really relevant.

Talking about urine, I was chatting to some of our cleaners last night, and it transpires that they made an unpleasant discovery last week.  Richard [of RBB] was heavily involved in the school production (good job BTW R[oRBB]) and a relieving teacher was mostly covering his classes.  The cleaners found in the music room the following:

A bottle of urine and two pairs of heavily soiled (actually what the cleaning lady said was "Full of shit") girls panties.  What on earth has been going on?  Is Nuova Lazio devolving to an earlier state where human wastes can be casually discarded wily-nily? Or was the reliever sticking rigidly to the (stupid-ish) school rule which says that our students are never to be let out to the toilet?

NON stained panties (I'm not that sick)

I don't know, but I think that if I have to go to the music room in the future I'll be sure to wear rubber gloves, a mask and gumboots.
