I always knew I was a poorer teacher on a Monday. Perhaps it was the late nights at the weekend or a difficult class?
By the time I reached the end of the week, I was exhausted, and although happier, it showed in my teaching. I was knackered, but highly productive.
I’ve always wondered if there was scope for teachers to work at different times of the day. We are a generation away from a more flexible system, where secondary students arrive at school later and study into the early evening, with teachers who work the same hours alongside them.
