Students cannot be left unsupervised in the room so would home ec teachers be expected to work through most lunchtimes?]]> 2016-12-07 14:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/louisekearns/20tbyvn1ms80/wish/142294971 Would work well for English https://padlet.com/louisekearns/20tbyvn1ms80/wish/142294977 2016-12-07 14:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/louisekearns/20tbyvn1ms80/wish/142294977 PE https://padlet.com/louisekearns/20tbyvn1ms80/wish/142295446 Would work well for PE but can see pitfalls for other practical subjects.

Teacher student contact would be reduced in this subject by 20mins/week this would be extremely difficult for completing projects and would seriously affect grades

Hour classes are not sufficient time to prepare cook and serve dishes in a practical class. I suggest that if this goes ahead we have 2 hour classes for Home Ec. this might suit other practical subjects??
