Where there's smoke...
I can't help but think 
previously mentioned university student who has been shadowing me this week has an inaccurate picture of life in the public sector. A few classes of mine are on study leave and as a result I was teaching a whopping one hour today. I did spend a fair bit of time in the staffroom with some colleagues discussing how best to cut vanilla cake and make fire using only natural means but I can only assure him that there are 'targets' and 'stress' in the public sector just like the lean efficient private sector. Right Anton? Back me up!

'Targets' are the disease of the public sector and come above anything else. But I'm not convinced that the private sector is any better - the contact that I have with them sometimes makes me wonder if they are even more bureaucratic than the state...and a lot of consultants have a vested interest in making sure that there are problems so that there is plenty of work for them to do...
I was hit with another target today - I haven't reached my maximum cover allowance yet and as a result had to do a French(!) lesson today.
Bonjour!
