I had a shoulder injury back in april i tore all the tendons in my shoulder and it was very painful had to go for physio for a few weeks the dr but me of work for two weeks,i then went back and it was ok still a bit painful but i got on with it then last week it flared up again and i could hardly move the pain was awful so had a steriod injection inot the joint on thursday last week and as you cna't move for four days after the dr but me off work with a note yet again for this week,anyway the teacher i work with rang tonight to see how i was and she said the DH head made a comment in the staffroom about me on tuesday when i wasn't in it was" Oh she out again theres a surprise whats wrong this time" the teacher i work with told her and she said well we could do without this yeah so could i!!!!

i think the comment was out of order and very rude do you think i should say to my HT about it i get on really well with her
Flippen c*w

yes i would

she has no right to comment on anything personal and if the doctor has signed you off then it is none of her business!

i think you should it was very unprofessional of her to make ANY comment let alone that one!!!!!!

Very unprofessional, I would say something

that's awful in my school lots of staff seem to be two faced and slag of people that aren't around i always tell them that if you haven't got the guts to say it to their face keep quiet. At least you now know who you can rely on. Hope the shoulder feels better?

Thanks i have thought about it all night and i am going to say something when i return next week,i only do three mornings anyway people forget that they see me as been off for a whole week

A word of warning. Remember that this wasn't said directly to you but passed on by your CT. Before you say anything to the DH make sure the teacher doesn't mind being quoted. As no doubt the DH will know how her remarks have been passed on to you.

good advice

It's amazing how supposedly caring Professionals can be so horrible.I was slagged off by some staff while going to the Hospital in another area during the holidays and not returning to school for two weeks ..........the reason.......my niece aged 7 was on life support and not expected to live and my sister a single parent needed someone with her.I was told by one of the teachers.

It never ceases to amaze me how callous and unkind they can sometimes be.I hope your shoulder gets better soon try some osteopathy as you may have neck problems aggrevating it.

Ah that's terrible Jack. Same in our school staff is split its them and us... ones who put in a grievance against the head and those who didnt. comments made about male teacher whose daughter was dying at beginning of the year. Head was very unprofessional but he leaves end of term feel sorry for his new school I hope he has learnt from his mistakes but I doubt it!!

We heard recently of a HT that was proud to have changed ALL the staff in her eight years at school and she is soon moving to another school.

Madeleine McCann's uncle teaches at my school. You can imagine what it was like - gossip that is - whilst he stayed over in Portugal at the beginning of the investigations!
