So are you suggesting that the students go home and we stay in school for part of the school working week?Because that's the only way it will work.
Plus what happens to after school activities.Drama club,art club,sports,detention? Will they be part of the 45 hrs a week?Or just be voluntary and unpaid.
Because that's basically how the system worked for years..WE got paid monthly even during school holidays and we gave of our time as and when directed and often at our own initiative.For example as an art teacher I had to set up after hours classes so students could come in and finish off course work on time for external exams.Same for the drama,music. Extra classes provided before school by the 'special needs' staff.
Education can't be and shouldn't be treated as a saleable commodity.
