    Two things hun~You are right~you should not check work emails at night.
    Can you break the marking down into manageable chunks?

    I was going to go with a box of matches.

    its something like 25 a day, BUT some kids will have lessons (the pests) and then I will need to mark them again. I need to look at my time table and make a plan. or cry.

    Its utter maddness and yet we all play along.


    thanks xxx

    Can you work out which will have lessons to save doing them twice? Then you split the amount into piles of 25 and either set aside 2 hours morning, or evening. Im not sure how long each book takes to mark 5 or 10 mins? Do you get free time in school? an hour here and hour there?

    Sort of. time to yourself is a miracle always kids/staff wanting stuff and that one eighty is on top of upper school marking.


    going to make a timetable.

    thanks tho Sal and Beanie xxxxx
