Too many part-timers working in schools

[Titogovi]

That;

a) Only work 8.55-3.15pm, not a minute earlier, not a minute later.

b) Have hissy fits if you ask them do anything 'from home' (their place of worship)

c) Actually, just re-read a) and that really says it all.

Who suffers - the children.

Question: who created their jobs in the first place then? And who decided that "working flexibly" (aka, doing the bare minumum and caring more about taking little Johnny to his sax lesson on the other side of town rather than giving your all to the school your work in..) would work..?

I feel ashamed to be a part-time working mum athe moment.

TAs let the side down, big style.

To the OP - re: your post, you are clearly the one having the 'hissy fit'. PMSL @ the dimwittedness of your comments!

'b) Have hissy fits if you ask them do anything 'from home' (their place of worship)'

What exactly is it you want a TA to do at home? Something that is really your job to be doing?

Anyone else think that c98% of what the OP is saying is rubbish?

I don't think the OP will respond to your well worded and carefully considered response, nor any of the other reasonable and accurate replies on this thread. She is at worst bitter and twisted, possibly a troll, but definitely not someone I'd want to teach my children.

I actually feel a bit sorry for her if she truly believes her posts. Anyone that intolerant must have a lot of social issues.

I'm a part time teacher. I'm pretty bloody good at my job. I work really very hard, and get paid on a 0.533 (yes, that specific) basis. I definitely do more than 0.533 of work though.

I'm also rather a good mother.

That OK for you OP?

I used to work with a woman who put her career above her family. She used to "joke" that Mother's Day was "the day she was a mother". Everyone thought she was a right nutter and muttered about how they felt sorry for her kids.

OP, if you can't teach AND have a family, then it's probably best that you got out of teaching - it's not for everyone, after all, and if it's really so hard for you to do both, then I would argue that you probably weren't very good at it anyway

'Tis like the olden days - woman have to give up their jobs on their wedding day...

Think my grandma had to do that.
