PMx2: I didn't mean to offend anyone. If a child is sick, I have to carry on teaching the class. It is not my fault that the person designated to do the cleaning up is the TA. We don't have a cleaner or premises officer in during the school day and someone has to do it. I wouldn't want to do it as a TA but, at my school, I would have to.
As for sucking my nose , I agree it's disgusting...he has had a stressful few weeks at his new school with absolutely no let up. He got stupidly, ridiculously silly and uncontrollable tonight - letting off steam I guess - and did something that he hasn't done since he was about 5.I didn't like it then either...
Truly did not mean to offend you. At no point did I say that a TA should do it. Or that that is all they are good for. One of my best friends is a TA.

I don't mean to offend you either but, I get sick of the attitude of some teachers. (not to the extent of vomiting, you'll be relieved to know, as you have no-one to clean it up on a Friday night. Oh! you could call your "best friend!" as she's TA)
On one hand we are sick cleaners, on the other, we are expected to take the class when it suits. PPA, or a sudden crisis, and hey presto we are valued!
When teachers go on a course and a supply is called in..... have a guess who really takes the class! and who gets the pay for it?
I'll jump off my soap box now, sorry!!! I hope your little man recovers quickly, and that you don't have to face your phobia!

No, this wasn't like that, it was a woman being gradually introduced to things that looked like vomit until she managed to watch someone actually doing it (this was the bit I couldn't watch). She eventually ended up being able to go out to a night club, which seemed to be her long term ambition, but she hadn't been able to before in case someone threw up there (very likely if Broad Street on a Friday night is anything to go by!)Ed's mum wrote:Mmmm, one way I have seen to cure a vomit phobia is to actually drink salted water until you are sick. No thank you.
