The National Union of Teachers really is committed to being the worst possible public face of the teaching profession. The chief inspector of schools, Sir Michael Wilshaw, has commented - many would argue uncontroversially - that teachers who put in longer hours and produce excellent lessons are the ones who should be rewarded. He was fairly dismissive of teachers who are out of the school gate pretty well as soon as the last bell has gone. Given that the school day finishes, in most schools, around 3.30, it might not seem unreasonable to expect us to stay a little longer! Cue the most dinosaur of unions, the NUT, taking issue with Sir Michael's challenging idea that we could just work a little longer. As many already do.
According to the NUT, Sir Michael is 'waging war' on teachers. They really do need to calm down, or he'll start talking about those 13 weeks of holiday that we get.
