Is this prevalent in primary schools?
In September I will have 2 in primary. I am also a teacher but in secondary and I must admit I live in a bubble of sorts so please enlighten me.
Someone I know recently went to an interview as a teaching assistant though she is qualified to teach secondary. From the job description she was told that the interview included being observed working with a group of students doing numeracy.
When she turned up she found out that she was expected to have a lesson plan and was supposed to teach a full blown lesson to these students. In this school it seems like the TAs teach lessons to cover teachers' PPA time, absences and other occasions she listed off.
Do you have an idea what is happening in the schools your children attend?
