    Well, if all that is true then we're in for a real fight and fight we'll have to.

    Every single one of us is willing to compromise and willing to take considerably less leave this exceptional year.

    But what they are asking, if all true, is as usual far too much. Even the ramifications of all staff in the building in July seems risky. The older the person the more at risk from this virus and many teachers are in their fifties and still quite a few in their sixties,with this group most likely to have very elderly parents. So, assuming there are still dangers about in mid July, would such teachers not be in their rights to point blank refuse?

    And while it wouldn't surprise me if this were all true, I also have doubts. Our standing rep did not send such an email as the one posted by mirrorwall. Yet it was signed by a member of SC. Also, a post appears to have been removed on ASTI facebook page. So a mystery, just what we bloody need!

    It really is very worrying. And also disgraceful of the Dept to once again behave with zero regard to the T&C of our job,let alone the mental health of everybody in these terrible times.

    We're have had nothing in from the TUI but honestly that doesn't surprise me much....

    I made this point yday
    Very unfair

    History can be written up relatively quickly but geography with sketches and graphs takes an age. Our school was writing them up the week school shut and were goin to have them done in the 3 weeks to Easter. Submitting was the 24th so the week after Easter was there for the usual few to finish up. Now only 2 weeks before exam, not seen students in 4 months and they’ll want to work on exam qs not the project.

    Vast majority of TUI members are 2nd level teachers.

    Gone ridiculously off topic, plus the trolls have arrived.

    Closing this for a while.
