On your heads be it

https://www.tes.com/magazine/archive/your-heads-be-it

If headteachers work at Christmas, more fool them (“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown”, Comment, 2027 December). They should confine their work to school hours and terms. After all, if headteachers and teachers refused to do all the extra paperwork imposed by the likes of schools inspectorate for England Ofsted, the government could hardly fire the entire profession. And while we’re on the subject, teachers should be forbidden to set any kind of holiday work for their students.
