Still working on it

I'm working as a Supply teacher (and supply LSA) at the moment - though obviously not being paid for being on school holidays.

I am still applying for jobs, and finding far too many schools do not even have the manners to send a no thank you email (I mean, how hard could it be?).

Many desperately need some good HR advice, as they don't seem to have a clue about how to write a job description, person specs are non-existent, and adverts often don't even say where the school is!  Given that they are relinquishing the support from their LEAs, this is maybe something Academies ought to have given some consideration to.

In this hiatus, I am also sewing up a storm, and have purchased a new sewing machine.  Perhaps I should tout myself as a textiles specialist instead of English....
