I spend valuable time in schools every week and I meet some incredible colleagues from schools and Education Leeds. Colleagues whose passion, commitment, energy, enthusiasm and hard work are changing the world for so many of our young people. However, I often wonder why some people work in our schools and our services when they are so miserable and clearly don't enjoy what they do. There lives are not inspiring, their relationships are negative and destructive and they are not being engaged or used effectively. .. someone told me that it was just a job. Surely life is too short and too important to be working somewhere tht you don't find stimulating, rewarding and challenging... especially if like me you work out the percentage of your life that you spend at work.
By the way it's 25% if you are interested. We spend 20% at our leisure during the week, 28% taking weekends during the year, 12% of the time we are on holiday and we spend another 20% in bed! I know by the way that the sums don't add up to 100% but it simply makes you realise that we don't actually work very much at all!
