A lot of people seem to ignore that many teachers will be doing exam marking during summer, so they don't even get the full summer in a way. There also seems to be a lot of unpaid work in general
The whole thing with Harry Potter isn't only limited to trans people. A lot of trans 'allies' (I hate the word in these contexts) / those part of the LGBTQ+ community also felt offended. Obviously age is probably a factor here too. Really once you get to certain trans issues, it's not only the trans community that is going to have those opinions
Unpopular but I think some of the stuff being said about trans issues/wanting to encroach on women's spaces are a bit of a moral panic. No one but social pressure and maybe the fear of cameras is stopping a man going into a women's toilet

School teachers donāt mark exam papers.
Well it definitely makes it easier for them if we just allow anyone to go where they want as they will have the freedom.
My main issue with it is that the āneedsā or āwantsā of a MINORITY is overpowering everyone else and basic common sense.
I donāt want to use a changing room thats unisex when trying on clothes or post swim etc, so why does a manās need come before mine?
My best friend is a muslim, she did womanās only sessions at her local pool couple of evenings a week, well guess what happened, the pool decided anyone identifying as a woman can use those hours too, so my friend doesnāt go, along with most of the other women as a large number were muslims.
Or what about women who have been abused by men? Who is thinking of them in the middle of all this?
Trans people say they worry about their safety in menās spaces, so why is it when a woman raises this as an issue its all of a sudden ātransphobicā
No one is saying these people canāt have rights, but we need to ensure its safe for everyone Everywhere.
I assume we count school to include those teaching GCSEs?
Examining the examiners
While students are getting ready to take their exams this summer, exam boards are also busy, completing their examiner recruitment and finalising their arrangements for the series. This is no mean feat. Last summer alone, 63,000 examiners were needed to ā¦

Wrong. They can work for exam boards over the summer to mark.

Thatās another issue where you feel safe, but the argument that a rapist could just waltz into a unisex bathroom to rape someone is pretty empty since they could do so now or before whenever they wanted to
I think it happens a lot when discussing trans ārightsā - I donāt know whether access to womenās spaces is really a right since theyāre not usually barred from those spaces, unless itās medical in which case there needs to either be a compromise or a separate space. A lot of the arguments around safety seem very moral panic-y or mixed in with what youāre specifically comfortable with which doesnāt make them very āstrongā in a way
I think the whole āmovementā against that sort of stuff should focus on setting up separate spaces for trans people or those that want to use them who arenāt trans. But then obviously you have a problem where trans people wouldnāt feel safe because their space could be entered by whoever
I mean, they could erect single bathrooms like a Starbucks restroom.
I wonder if thereās any law right now saying women canāt use mens bathrooms and vice versa lol. Pretty sure there isnāt. I remember a viral video a woman made explaining she marches into the mens room at venues whenever the line for the womens is too long. There were a lot of women saying they do the same.
But then obviously you have a problem where trans people wouldnāt feel safe because their space could be entered by whoever
This is exactly how most women would feel about sharing toilets with men. Why do some people find it so easy to disregard issues of womenās safety but fall over themselves to pander to a very tiny minority of trans people?
ETA: the argument about how thereās nothing stopping rapists entering womenās toilets right now is nonsense. There would be risk involved and people would notice and react to a man going into womenās toilets.
Itās not that all men are rapists or deviants but gender neutral toilets would give the ones who are easier access and more opportunity. I donāt know what is so hard to understand about that?

With regards to the trans issue. For me itās simple. I donāt care how you want to identify. On you crack. However simply put I donāt want biological men in my changing rooms, in my toilets, in womens refuges, in my sports, in my safe havens such as womens only swimming time or womens only yoga etc. I donāt want biological men in with vulnerable women in prison or in hospital wards and I donāt want them telling me Iām transphobic simply for wanting women only spaces. Or for wanting women to actually win in sports and not be pummled by a man (Fallon Fox anyone). I also find it frightening that they are giving puberty blockers to young children who will probably grow out of it (Keira bell) or who are actually either just gay or just a tomboy. Women fought for years to get these spaces and equality in sport etc and in 1 swoop itās being destroyed
Yep. Recruited by exam boards but they are teachers.
My unpopular opinion to change the subject
I hate the really hot weather. 34 degrees is too much
I aināt built for it - donāt like it!Yep. Recruited by exam boards but they are teachers.

Yeah but the point is marking exam papers during the summer is NOT a standard part of a normal school teachers job as per their contract. Itās not part of the role. Someone up thread was implying it was something teachers do during the summer as standard.Yep. Recruited by exam boards but they are teachers.

Yes agree, change the subject!
34 is too warm, love it on holiday but otherwise itās just too warm!!!
Your initial quote was wrong. Thatās why I replied. They can make. Loads do. Not really worth it for the Ā£Ā£Ā£ based on the number of exams to go through tho
34 degrees in Turkey or Spain - love it. Sweating my tits off in my lounge in England - donāt love it. A solid 25 degrees is plenty
Alsoooo I think Greggs is overrated
26 degree weather is grand in Spain, 26 degrees in Ireland has me choking and gasping for air. Itās like a completely different type of sun, unreal.
Iām sure there was a debate on here about temperatures feeling different in other countries compared to here
. I think it totally feels different.Ps itās only 21 now and Iām that sweaty after a walk Iāve had to change my entire outfit
Humidity probably has a lot to do with itIām sure there was a debate on here about temperatures feeling different in other countries compared to here
Ps itās only 21 now and Iām that sweaty after a walk Iāve had to change my entire outfit
Also itās shocking how little shade there is in many places so walking, or generally just trying to enjoy the weather, is that much more unbearable. I wonder how we plan to adapt to this if it becomes more common
Hot weather in the UK and Ireland is projected directly from hell. Vile.
Itās 17 degrees and raining today and Iām just like
