AIBU to wonder why the feck teacher training days can't be delivered in the holidays.

[Billynomates71]

Anyone?

because they are HOLIDAYS

YABU.

1. They were taken out of the holidays, not teaching time.
2. They often require specialist input. The specialists can't be available to all schools simultaneously.

They are. Teachers lost 5 days holiday to create these days.
HTH.

Because they are holiday days.

They were.

The teachers lost five days holidays starting in 1988.

But surely teaching isn't part time work is it? I thought teachers were full time employed?

I believe that clashes with THEIR holidays

#teachersarepeopletoo

Because then they'd have to pay teachers and support staff more.

OP would ypu be happy attending a training day on a days Annual Leave?

Oh lovely..... another one. Have you lost a day's free babysitting?

Because they are already accounted for out of teachers holidays

maybe GIYF?

How many days holiday does a teacher get a year then I am asking because I honestly don't know?

Full tine employed doesn't mean that teachers work every day - we are contracted to work 195 days each year.
Pupils are entitled to 190 days of school.

The same old moaning about the same old subject. There are loads of these threads, did we really need a new one?

Teacher training days are part of their contracts so why should they do them in the holidays?

Would you happily give up a day's holiday for training you had to attend?

I spect OP is the type to complain if skewl has to shut for snow, hmmm?

Yes Billy. Full time hours. Try 60 hours a week.... and then some.

We are. The hours count annually. We do plenty of work. No more to say as it's been said many, many times before.

Sorry I don't know what gyif means so straight over my head, suspect that I won't be any the worse for that.

Yabu. Rethink what you written! Do you want to go into work on your holiday.

Maybe you should have posted this in the Staffroom

Wow, 195 days a year? Golly gosh how tough that must be. And 60 hours a week. You surely must be the only profession that works long hours.

You're living up to your name on this thread OP.

Without biting my head off will someone explain why teachers get as much holidays as the children?

I genuinely want to know.
