Nope. If the head wants to let them watch it at school fair enough. But time off?? I take it said teachers would still be getting paid if the school closed for the afternoon. As if they don't get enough time off already
World cup 2002 in south korea england had a game or 2 around 9amOur school had it on in hall or with parents written permission you could stay at home and watch it
I'm working 😢 big job on so in about half an hour I'm on a social media black out.Got the game recorded so I'm hoping to avoid people at all costs and I'll watch it about six o'clock.
I think life is far too serious now, almost to the extent that no one is happy. Look around and see people's miserable expressions. I've just come back off holiday and people looked just as fed up as if they were on their way to work.
f**k me! It was a second week qualifying match between two shit sides who haven't got a prayer of getting very much further. It's hardly Neil f**king Armstrong territory is it?

My mum was a teacher, deputy head, then head teacher for over 30 years and she was constantly busy until gone 6pm most evenings, then through most of the holidays.To answer the OP - work places can be flexible - watch the football but make up time elsewhere. Or take leave if you have to.I'll probably carry on working but have iplayer running in the background.
Teaching is a hugely important job. Hugely. We should respect teachers much more than is currently the case.However, their hours generally are not especially demanding. I know they don't leave at 3.30pm with the pupils but it is not like they are burning midnight oil until 11pm. Plus they only actually work for 8 months of the year. Let's put it in perspective. They are not bashing steel for 8 hour shifts or driving a bus round the streets all day.
