As the title suggests really. Has anyone done this? If so, has it made a difference to your work/life balance?
I want to go down to 4 days next year. I have one school-age child and I dislike working at the weekends. I try to mark after DC has gone to sleep, but I am not really very effective during these hours...and am neglecting my marriage. I figure I can do my marking on a weekday off, when DC is at school. Planning I can do in my frees and after school. Am I being naïve? Does it work?
I spent 10 years in the private sector before teaching, and love the job compared to my old one, but there is just too much of it.
