Teacher Training

[Man-chester copperpot]

How boring must you be to not be able to fill your time.

What?
I’m a single parent to a 6yr old, i work for Manchester Council and worked through covid (with a valid pass) while most people were safely working at home.
I picked up shopping & delivered food to the most vulnverable people of our society
I had to have the jab to do my job.
Don’t judge me you fucking prick!
Boring people don’t put work before their health & family’s health.
Where the fuck where you in lock down knobhead?

Our eldest daughter is a teacher at a Birmingham specialised school for budding actors. The curriculum is the same as any other school.
My daughter is NOT in a 9.00 - 3.30 job and constantly works late including working from home at a weekend, marking papers and setting work.
She is a wife, mother of two children and a bloody hard worker.
The shit that is thrown at teachers having all these wonderful school holidays the same as her students is a bastard myth

Schools are only required to offer 38 weeks/190 days/1,235 hours of the year to children in Britain. The 13 weeks of school holidays leave 39 weeks leftover for school time so 5 days are for INSETs.

Britain has the shortest Summer holidays I can think of.

They are 9 weeks in Ireland, 10 weeks in Scandinavia, 12 weeks in the Mediterranean and Canada, 14 weeks in USA…

Not all staff who work in schools are paid for 52 weeks’ work a year. I’m term time only plus 15 days. Others are TT+10 or TT+5 or just TT only. Also it’s not ‘Teacher Training’. There can be as many staff in schools who aren’t teachers as are teachers, and these are mainly the staff who don’t work in and aren’t paid for the holidays. The training is for all staff.

And school staff can only take time off during the designated holidays. That includes TT only staff. They can’t decide to go to the Ibiza closing parties in September or Leipzig away for three days if they want to if they’re in school term time.

Schools are not there to look after peoples’ children while they go off to work. It’s not a babysitting service. Children are the responsibility of their parents. Schools are there to offer a set education over a set number of weeks/days/hours. If their parents can’t look after their kids for the rest of the time that’s their problem.

I agree totally.
Like most threads we’ve gone off topic.
My post was about doing the training during the 6 weeks holidays! Thats it - nothing else.
Teachers should 100% not lose there holidays
Teachers should 100% not work their holidays
If schools weren’t there to help with looking after and educating children i think most people would give up working.
I like most people, work around school hours.
If my daughter doesn’t go to school, i don’t go to work.
To me, you are not a babysitter
You are her future, a hero, and if i could, pay you as much as a footballer

?
I delivered food parcels to numerous people including a 74yr old women on Victoria Avenue East (Blackley) so she could eat.
Left it on her doorstep and you should have seen her face when i waved at her when i was at her gate.
We also cut her garden so she could go outside while isolating
It’s not a dick-waving competition
