Re: school
My granddaughter's primary school is just round the corner from my house. My daughter is on the PTA committee. Yes, the PTA that teachers attend meetings once a month (a couple of hours in an evening) to plan, amongst other things, fundraising events (evenings, weekends etc.) that they will be involved in.
Juniors finish school at 3.30 but, oh, there's netball and football after school twice a week (teachers needed) and, ooh yes, singing club 'til 4.15 on a Wednesday, run by a teacher. A peripatetic teacher runs Drama Club on Mondays - at 8 a.m. - but there has to be at least one home-based teacher on hand, not to mention the school secretary. Laura's in a play tomorrow evening and again on Wednesday evening. Every class teacher will be there as all the children are taking part. My brother's late wife was a primary teacher. I used to pull her leg about the long holidays but, honestly, I wouldn't have liked to have to do all the evening and weekend stuff that she did. Nor would I have liked to have to start the school year with up to 30 very small children (she taught the reception class) and send them on to the next class, 11 months later, with basic literacy and numeracy skills and, in some cases, a newly acquired ability to wipe their own bottoms and eat with a knife and fork. Sorry for continuing the thread-wander. I'll shut up now. |

There certainly are. :( People who think that teachers are living the life of Reilly clearly need to shadow a teacher for a week. They would eat their words when they saw the amount of work they do. The idea that teachers only work 30 odd weeks a year, Mon-Fri 9am-3.30pm is about as far from the truth as you can get. |
