It really doesn’t matter what School you’re in, large, small, city or country, there are some tasks that remain the same. Setting assignments, marking assignments, setting tests, marking tests, writing reports and - the thing I’d come to loathe most - the Parent/Teacher interviews!

I am fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom. We live pretty lean,...
