London on a Saturday

I was back in London today, training to be an A Level Examiner. It's part of my long term plan to be able to work from home and never set foot into a place of work again. It will probably never happen and in truth I'm pretty certain I'd miss some aspects of teaching were I to give it up entirely but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't mind giving it a try to see! Anyway, I spent the day with a bunch of people from all over the country who are new to examining A Level and now I feel far less terrified at the prospect. My biggest fear? Winding up with about half of my quota to complete on the last evening or something mad like that. Now, there are checks and balances and all sorts of ways to organise yourself so that this doesn't happen...

And London on a Saturday? Much more relaxing than on a weekday. Almost calm in fact...

Aah! the old escape plan. I've kind of stepped out of the classroom but into my car and then into lots of other classrooms doing advisory work but it still eats the time!

A level examining! Can relate to the not work thing though...

Danny, I've tagged you over on my blog, for six random things. If you fancy it. Light relief perhaps. Or dark.

Best,

Patricia
