Teachers - Action short of a strike

Hello teachers, (and anyone else who would like to comment!)
I was just wondering how many of you are planning to carry out this action short of a strike?

For me, this course of action would only make MY life worse - I have to keep everything up to date for my sanity's sake. It also seems designed to create massive bad feeling within schools. I work in a happy environment and actions such as refusing to be observed, refusing to cover, refusing to implement new policies, etc. would stir up such bad feeling. I genuinely would like to hear from anyone who is taking this course of action.

I wouldn't mind if the teaching was getting better
My kids just come home with handouts and printouts galore
As a parent there is nothing you can do, the schools and teachers are protected by a web of red-tape

I am a teacher - and a parent. I would be unhappy if my ds's school did this, and would say so.

well as only a parent there is nothing you can do
I just fill in the gaps and refrain from saying anything
if you say anything it just comes back on your kids
I am lucky I can fill in some of the gaps
I think the schools should raise the bar
and the kids will follow

I am a parent and I say plenty! What do you mean it comes back on your kids? That's silly.

Regarding the annual report section I wonder how this complies with the SEN CoP?

Annual reviews etc require reports which will inevitable have teacher input, the parents have a right to see what is written about their child..

^What I mean is that for some SEN children reporting progress happens more frequently than once a year (at Annual Review and end of year Report for example.)
