Did it teaching night classes for 5 years on top of my day job until 2006.
School buildings Manager for 6 years and governor for 3 in late 80s/early 90s when additional "teacher training" was delivered in the last week of the summer holidays or the last day/s of half term, and continued the same when the national curriculum was introduced.
and were you paid for the night class teaching? You will be well aware of the facts that most , as not all will, teachers will be working well past directed hours with marking, planning, attending governing body/ PTA meetings, school fetes, taking kids on schooltrips over weekends. if you add the actual worked hours up then they are significantly more than your average 40 hr week.
INSET - in service training , ensuring the teachers are kept up to date with current best practice depending on which way the wind blows into the education ministers window that week. oh and also for keeping upto date with relevant legislation. all progressive employers do in service training.
the education act also puts limits on the number of days children can be in school.
i could write lots but it probably wouldn't be read anyway as once you have your minds made up thats it really isn't it.
now i must go off to see wifey at her schools summer fete. she has been ther since 8 am and is unlikely to be back before 5.
