My father was a primary school head - and though primary teaching obviously has its challenges, they are very different from the challenges I have faced for thirty years in urban secondary schools. Quite incomparable. As for the INSET in Spain - I agree with you entirely - they should simply have arranged to use their own school premises - even though this would have lost the "bonding" features of the away trip - you know - Head of Biology caught in uncompromising position with young PE teacher in broom cupboard.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169036.post-14674606622924356632008-10-02T20:53:00.000+01:002008-10-02T20:53:00.000+01:00I read that this morning and shook my head in disb...I read that this morning and shook my head in disbelief. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169036.post-68270636929985195862008-10-02T18:20:00.000+01:002008-10-02T18:20:00.000+01:00I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

If we went to a hotel in Spain none of us would want do any work we would be too busy in the pool or at the bar.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211870462490954636noreply@blogger.com
