Extra-curricular activities

It's Steve who has a big fat waffle about things that happen outside of the classroom that may be opportunities for learning. At the end of the day it's time for the teacher to go home, sit in the garden and sip a pina colada... But wait! The school would really like it if you came back on Sunday and helped show off to the parents how special thieir programme is, look handsome and/or pretty (or both), and justify all those shiny school fees they're paying. Is this part of our job too? Should we be paid a marketing bonus for coming in on a Sunday? Surely there's no educatiobal value in getting ther students dressing up for Halloween! Explore the world of teaching that happens outside of the classroom, and away from pina coladas and gardens.
