It isn't just what has been cut and posted it is the small print that goes with it. Like I said at the very start, we cannot argue with anything that improves and enhances the educational opportunities of the students we teach; it is the way they are seeking to regulate our private lives and what we do in them that is not on, especially when other teachers, parents and students are encouraged to inform the GTC if they think a teacher, in professional time or not, is behaving in an 'unprofessional' way. So, if you are on the beach or doing your shopping or, as has happened to me, in a folk club performing, and a parent comes up to you and wants to discuss their child, you will have to do it, regardless of whether you are having work / life balance or not, or be   reported to the GTC and possibly banned from teaching because you said no. You need to read the small print and think about exactly what it means.
