New Year, New Term...New Decisions

This year I have decided to buck the usual trend of fellow edubloggers, by expounding on the great things I want to do in my class. I am going to turn my gaze homeward:

• I am not going to do zillions of hours of CPD nor am I going to offer my services to school on such a regular basis
• I am going to spend a lot more time helping my own kids develop. My eldest is starting secondary in August and with only 18 months of English under his has a lot of work to do to be at a stage where he is not going to find his new surroundings difficult. My youngest will be starting primary and I want to help her to start to read before she goes. I would like to teach help the boys learn how to type (and maybe learn myself) and help them to use all the fun stuff I do on a computer.

So sorry school and authority, I will do that what is required of me but for once very little more...possibly

The most important thing when driving is to be alert. Don’t drive if you are feeling sleepy.

Maybe we should keep an eye on each other and make sure we stick to our better work/life balance? Remember, we will not wish we had marked more jotters as we think back on our life on our death bed, will we?

Thanks Alan...unfortunately I'm finding it difficult already but am determined to succeed.

Absolutely the right thing to do. I'm taking the same stand after 30 years of extra-hours working. My young boys deserve the nurture that I and only I can give them as their father!!! Stick to it!!

Thanks for that Lisa. You sometimes wonder what kind of lives some edubloggers live when you read about all the stuff they do.
Happy new year to you.

What a refreshing post! And one that made me think about my priorities.
Merci beaucoup
