Drove back from St Leonards to home (approx 3 miles) a tad dodgy to say the least roads were gritted but the rain washed alot of it away. It's the first time I'd driven in those conditions for a long time, not a pleasant experience and one I'm not in a rush to repeat.0

Very little snow in Charlton/Greenwich.0

No snow in north norfolk.Beach walk with dogs this morning great0

Willing to bet none of you have as many redwings on the tree outside your window as I do right now1

They’re not Golfie’s white trainers from when the red smoke bomb went off at Bristol City, are they?7

My son's school is closed again today. The roads are clear!!! Ithink the teachers have started their Christmas piss ups early!!0

ridiculous, our kids school have made it 'optional' - they are going in !!Gravesend_Addick said:My son's school is closed again today. The roads are clear!!! Ithink the teachers have started their Christmas piss ups early!!0 -
Some staff (teachers,admin,catering) live miles away from the school they work in and use a variety of travel methods to get to the school.Train strikes today along with traffic issues may be why they are saying it is optional as the school may not have full quota of staff to operate fully.
for example if school can not operate canteen or does not have enough first aiders on site it may have to close2 -

Like anything some people make a big effort to get in and others very little.SE9toDA2 said:Some staff (teachers,admin,catering) live miles away from the school they work in and use a variety of travel methods to get to the school.Train strikes today along with traffic issues may be why they are saying it is optional as the school may not have full quota of staff to operate fully.

I don't remember schools closing when I was a kid.0 -
I worked in a school in bexley that had teachers that didn’t drive and used to get train to work. They come from Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Clapham, Essex’s
how would you expect them to get to work today ?

Some genuinely can't get in and some don't make a big effort. That's just human nature.SE9toDA2 said:I worked in a school in bexley that had teachers that didn’t drive and used to get train to work. They come from Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Clapham, Essex’s

It's hardly a contentious thing to say - interpret it how you want.

Sick of this attitude. Some can make it in, so at least teach/supervise in the hall so far as possible.SE9toDA2 said:I worked in a school in bexley that had teachers that didn’t drive and used to get train to work. They come from Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Clapham, Essex’s

Teachers according to the 1988 Education Act lose their 5 inset days every time there are school closures. It never happens. 195 days working, alright for some.0 -
You're entitled to your opinion, as am I. My son's school is the only school in gravesend that's closed today. Everywhere else is open, so i think they've tossed it off0

I was just trying to make people aware that there are many reasons why a school may not be able to open or fully open.
much like most business today staff travel large distances and don’t just live around the corner. Also h & s, staff to child ratios and other legal reasons.
The school I used to work for was closed yesterday but teachers provided lessons remotely so still had to work. They still would have planned those lesson over the weekend to deliver on Monday.

I think most people can work this out. It's not a great option to deliver lessons remotely.SE9toDA2 said:I was just trying to make people aware that there are many reasons why a school may not be able to open or fully open.

If you think that teachers only work 195 days a year then think again.bolloxbolder said:

I have worked in the city before I worked as a teacher and since worked in industry again
Teaching was the most stressful and also most rewarding job I have done.
however long days 7.30 to at least 5.30 in school, plus then marking, preparing for lessons, staff meetings, parent evenings, after school events, organising trips, etc
most of this is done at home at weekends and in those extra 36 days (66-30 days leave) that all those mon-Fri workers do.I used to be in school all Easter holiday helping students finish coursework.All for much less pay than I used to get working in the city.11 -
I was a bit worried about the journey from Bournemouth yesterday but it was pretty easy.0
