A comment from the Guardan Education article link about the inet findings of the workload survey ublished last week
Teachers, not least in the way they are represented by the NUT, appear to think they should be unique in not being subject to scrutiny. In most jobs (including mine), one is judged on one's performance every single day. Whereas teachers throw their hands up in horror at the occasional Ofsted inspection? Do they feel they should graudate, be handed £30,000 per year for a 39 week year and then be left to their own devices for several decades without any scrutiny at all? The idea that the government should cave to every NUT demand based on a sever conducted by teachers themselves (many of whom will have never seen the world of work outside of education and therefore have nothing to base things on) is absurd. Ask ANY profession if they're overworked, of course they'll say yes. Incredible as well that NUT speak of 'more sackings' when teaching is famously the job with the fewest sackings of any in the country!
I want to cry reading that :(
