Reusing lesson plans every year would work if the curriculum you had to teach to was the same every year, and if you believe that every kid is identical to the next one and learns in exactly the same way at exactly the same pace. If that was the case then you wouldn't need any professional skills to do the job. Of course we've all been to school so we all know how they work - right?
Just a reminder that the INSET days were actually taken out of leave by Baker. At the same time as introducing the national curriculum five extra days training were added to the school year (without any corresponding pay changes, so basically they had their contracts changed to work five more days for the same pay) They are not 'extra' days without kids from the school year.
Both my parents were secondary teachers, and my sister teaches in a special school for young people with severe autism (which seems to involve getting physically assaulted every week or two by the students) after training in primary (which from my observations seemed easier than secondary YMMV). I thought about teaching myself but didn't because I found I could have a much less stressful job which paid more in the private sector. Also I can arrange my holidays when I want rather than being tied to set dates in the peak holiday season.
