How do we help teachers get their Sunday nights back?
Despite research suggesting teacher workload is reducing, the number of hours teachers work during term time remains far above their contractual duties …
Ask any teacher about that ‘Sunday night’ feeling and they will describe a ‘stomach-wrenching feeling’ about going back to work.
This can happen to any teacher, even those working in a school where they feel very positive and happy.
But, what makes teaching different from any other industry that goes back to work on a Monday morning?
Well, the obvious fact is that teachers have 30 young people around the legs every hour of the day.
This makes getting any work done ‘outside of teaching hours’ impossible to do!
