Part time vs Full time

[Tigsley2]

How does it stack up?

Have you managed to get a new job and negotiated down to Part time?

Have you started a job full time then negotiated down to Part time?

Does working part time - mean you do more work than if you did full time..

Opinions please :)

I definitely do proportionately more as a part timer than a fuller timer, and I'm quite strict with myself about saying enough is enough. Primary or secondary? It depends a lot on your working pattern e.g. teachers in primary who work 5 mornings have a much higher workload than those who work 2.5 full days, as English and maths marking and planning take up the majority of a primary teacher's time. In the past I've not worked Fridays when we had a long assembly, lots of finishing off time etc - so a light planning and marking day which I missed out on.

I’m secondary NQT. I’d say (in my limited experience) that it depends on the timetable. I got the job quite late on and so am plugging timetable gaps left right and centre. As a result I have odd lessons here and there that mean I’m in school far more than expected. Hoping it gets better next year.

It's in an SEN school - so from primary to secondary .. I'm not sure where the role is!

At the moment I work 4 days - but love my own day - as weekends are full of other people's stuff..

But I work all though the day I don't work (if that makes sense) but then I don't work at weekends..

Ahhh.. decisions decisions...
