I've been thinking about this a lot lately-wondering whether to resign or not. Have been teaching for ages and just sick of the relentless pointlessness of most of the things I do. I worked hard 15+ years ago when I started, but virtually none of it was pointless-it all benefitted the children, yet now, 3/4 of the stuff I do is solely for Ofsted or SMT and actually takes time away from the children. I rather like planning nice lessons, making resources and doing displays!
I think getting rid of Ofsted would be number 1 on my list, but as that'll never happen, doing something about reducing the pointless excessive marking now required would probably be next.
It would have to phrased so clearly that there was no way that SMT could interpret it in a 'well, I don't think you're doing enough' kind of way!
Levelling and tracking would probably be high up on my list as well.
