miniskydiver 0 #1 January 16, 2005 It's Sunday morning, there's a crystal clear blue sky and no wind - perfect jumping weather. And I'm stuck inside marking books and planning lessons for a school inspection. OFSTED promised that they wouldn't interfere with the "work-life balance" - liars! I hate OFSTED, I hate OFSTED, I hate OFSTED. OK - rant over .... Anyone else stuck indoors when they could be jumping? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miniskydiver 0 #3 January 16, 2005 OFSTED: The Office For Standards in Education. UK government schools inspectorate. They visit the school for a week, once every 6 years. I don't mind the inspection - its the workload before they turn up, making sure all of the paperwork and admin is completely up-to-date, that's a hastle.

miniskydiver 0 #8 January 27, 2005 YAY!!!!!! Inspection over and I'm drunk. Now I can skydive all weekend (except it's bloody freezing out there). I was judged to be "very good to excellent", so that's good news.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2fat2fly 0 #9 January 27, 2005 i remember when my wife taught. Her program got funding from 2 different fed agencies. Their criteria and specifications were diametricly opposed in some things. We would have to re-arrange and redecorate the room depending on who was visiting.I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skykittykat 0 #10 January 28, 2005 Couldn't you just do your marking between calls - a bit like when the GCSE/A level examiners marked all the exam papers on their trains home???

QuickDraw 0 #12 January 28, 2005 And congratulations Tony on your award at the AGM.. Student of the year was it ? Wait until they find out you left the bar at 4:07am on sunday. I nearly died of shame. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miniskydiver 0 #13 January 28, 2005 Ah yes, a good night. Was it really only 4.07am? It felt much later than that! Can't wait till the next AGM. Now that OFSTED is over I can get back to being a shit teacher who does no planning, no marking and won't stop talking about skydiving! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
