The number of people that are making digs at teachers is really unfair. You assume that we are all sitting around in our classrooms doing nothing, but you don't realise the pressure and workload that is actually there. I will talk you through a typical school day, perhaps then you will understand.
My alarm goes off at 5.45, so that I can be at work as early as possible. I arrive at work, usually somewhere between 7.00 and 7.20, in order to set up resources and go through any particularly important events or meetings happening that day.
At 8.30, it's to the staff breifing meeting, where we are given any special instructions for the day.
Then it's out to the playground for duty.
The children arrive in school at 8.50, and we then spend the day teaching using a combination of government iniatives and carefully planned lessons and strategies that have been built up through years or experience and planning.
Very often, there is no lunch break involved -
