Why can't teachers have contracts like everyone else ,at the moment they are contracted for 1265 hrs per 195 days a year with the extra clause saying that they must work such reasonable hours as to discharge their duties .Why can't teachers be contracted for lets say 40-45 hrs a week ,half that time will be for teaching in classrooms and the rest used for prep ,marking and training .If that happened then it make no difference to the teacher if the actual term time was changed
