Personally, have seen EOs quitting, cannot survive in the private sector, then return to service to become FAJT and continue to do a bad job. School is shorthanded and no choice but to keep the FAJT.

Lol not my problem.

Workload not much diff, just no "stretch" projects probably. Pay is similar to full-time at the point when you left full-time service, except you have no Performance Bonus.

You have to arrive at an agreement on the exact terms of your workload with the school that is hiring you. Every principal has their own beliefs on adjunct teacher deployment, even if they are following the same general MOE guidelines.

as self-centered as that may sound, you cant really blame such teachers as the education system/school culture is responsible for turning him/her into one. if you 'reward' mediocrity, there wont be motivation to do give one's best.

competent, committed and caring EOs covering for out-of-depth and heck-care teachers, until the former is overwhelmed and burnout, before deciding to transform into the latter. the root problem is really the school's toxic culture. until that is addressed, everyone will be taking turns to shoulder the workload.

On top of that, some management actively pounces on mistakes to justify giving a C- or worse grade to well intending staff who makes mistake. Some mistakes i hear are so trivial and maybe someone else did the same but on good books so get away.

When do they announce academy awards for professional development?

What to do.. all these parents know how to f but don't know how to look after kids... management also sucks... some PE hod go book camps during last week NOV just to meet his stupid KPI. Totally brainless... then when ppl go for national exam duty... he cannot cover.. always ask other ppl do. Talk about leading by example and say wanna lead or love to lead... kns.. lead by arrowing only...
