Hi,
So I work in an infant school where there are no full time TAs in any classes. 4 form entry school going from reception to y2. We have LSAs for those who need it but they’re often off doing interventions etc. So teachers are with 30 kids alone most days, expected to cover all the curriculum, with no let up whatsoever. And that’s not mentioning admin jobs like sharpening pencils, sticking things in books, displays and letters etc. It’s crazy and the children will make nowhere near the progress they should be.
Any other schools in this situation?
Also there are some pregnant members of staff and the lack of care or consideration is offensive. They don’t ask for special treatment but issues like sickness or pain are not acknowledged treated like a huge exaggeration. Staff just aren’t valued.
Is this typical of many schools or am I just in a particularly sad situation?
