Standard simple and unostentatious plans that fit almost anywhere, can be built quickly and cheaply by volunteers; I think they can get a Hall up in about 3 days once the groundworks are done.

No, time span of discretion is more detailed a concept than that. Its about *how far ahead* the consequences of ones actions are thought through.
people with longer TSODs are suitable for higher level management etc.
Cf also 'a week is a long time in politics' :-)

Balls to you.
Collins GEM English Dictionary vocation n. occupation that someone feels called to; profession or trade. ?vocational adj. directed towards a particular profession or trade.
So it could equally apply to an engine driver. Or astronaut.
It was at one time applied to those who chose a 'noble' job above material reward. But both teachers and doctors are well paid these days.

No - they use their spare periods and lunch breaks etc to do this - instead of moaning with their co-workers ad nauseam about how over-worked they are. ;-)

Which part of 'all' did you find it impossible to understand?

No - I'll send my brother. He taught maths for over 30 years. And never once did any school work in the holidays - except when the entire staff was called in for a day (or whatever) just before the end. Nor did he do any work at home. He did run a few extra curriculum activities at some parts of his career - but adding in the time spent of these still didn't add up to working the number of hours per year most in full time work did.
However, he was rather poorly paid for most of his working life.

Quite. I have several teachers in my family and friends and that describes things perfectly.

Certainly. School hours are generally 6 per day.

Staff hours aren't. Arrive at 8, lucky to leave by 4. Compulsory staff briefing at 0815.

That would be my interpretation of "vocation".
What is the basic pay of a secondary school teacher with say 10 years experience? If it's above about £24k gross they are being paid above the national average.

What it is about the spouses of teachers?
Did it ever occur to you that those who have to spend ages extra to do a job others manage just fine within the allotted hours might just *not* be that good at their job?

Quite. But then, what on earth are you spending ages on preparing for the next day's work? Ie, what is so different from what you used the year before?
