My blood is at boiling point over the above issue. I think it's a disgrace that teachers who live close to schools and have free classes can nip home and do whatever during their free time. I live near a private school which my daughter attends and notice that two teachers who live in our estate come home regularly during free classes. Just saw one of them a while ago taking sand out of a trailer, before anyone accuses me of being nosey I walk regularly so cant help but notice. I work in the public service but during quiet times (rarely) I cannot go home to put out the washing etc. I pay these private teachers wages and I'm sure there is plenty for them to do in the school, go knows their day is short enough.
Here are the issues I have with this post;
Where are the laws/rules that says Teachers should stay in the school when they have a free period?
Surely the OP should contact the school to ask if this is "allowed".
It appears OP has no idea what hours the teachers work,they could work part-time,they could be subs for example and only in for a certain amount of hours.
If I had a job where I was required to be there from say 10 till 11 and not there again till two,why would I stay at the job,why wouldn't I get home if I could.?
What in the name of God has taking sand out of a trailer anything to do with OP? Who cares what they do,when and if they are not in work.
Op says she/he works in the PS and cant go home during quiet times,two things come to mind, where in the PS are there people who have quiet times?
When we are consistently told they are run off their feet? And it sounds like begrudgery , that just because the OP cant do it why should the teachers?
Op says there is plenty for them to do in the school,which may well be the case ,there are teachers who work a certain amount of hours etc,so it comes across like the OP wants the teachers to stay in the school to attend to other things happening in the school,possibly without payment,which will not happen.They may not be insured to be on the premises.
Op says their days are short enough already,well yes we all know this but the post was about them coming home during free time.
My sister was a teacher and she often dropped into my mothers house when she had a couple of free classes..I would have thought this was the norm?
