The long road to Chartered Teacher

I just realised, that I hadn’t yet mentioned Friday afternoons! Up here, we don’t seem to use them for teaching. Hoorah.

Walking into your room after your lunch on a Friday to find it empty is a truly lovely feeling. Not that I don’t enjoy teaching like, it’s just that teaching is a fairly abstract concept on a Friday afternoon in my experience - it’s very difficult to get anything in when all the kids are thinking about is the weekend. And although it is brilliant to be able to go home at lunchtime at the end of the week (really really brilliant), it’s even useful when you have to stay on instead. You can go to those working groups without staying into the evening and you can get all those niggly jobs out of the way and go home with a clear conscience.Can’t believe I’ve not mentioned this already!
