Margaret has always loved the summer second half term:
"It's that quiet time of year..." she says
"...when you just have to finish reports and assessments and fit in sports days and trips and open days and moving up days and summer fayres and leavers' events...
and teaching."
As you enjoy your Saturday night, please spare a thought for our brave volunteers who launched in horrendous conditions shortly before 7pm to assist a vessel in difficulty. The crew had not long returned home from an afternoon of exercising on the water.

@fred6754321 @1980MLL @The_TUC Absolutely not. Certainly in Scotland, the few support staff we have are already stretched to capacity fighting fires. The only work being ‘passed’ to them is that from above, not teachers.
Cards on the table. When I was a teacher I was on £150k, drove a company car, knocked off at 2 & picked up overtime if I fancied doing some marking at the weekends or over my 26 weeks holiday. Parents, pupils & the media lavished me with praise daily. Lor there's nonsense about🙄
Yo wtf...just saw a stat that said only 30-50% of people have an internal dialogue. There's really 50%+ of the population out here walking around with NOTHING going on in their head?? Everything is starting to make much more sense
There is a new shock jock right wing commentator in town. As usual, teachers take the bait, retweet and reply to her: exactly what she wants. Exposure brings revenue.
Best thing is not to respond, at all. Katie Hopkins, Toby Young, Owen Jones...they need the oxygen of publicity.
