I actually don't mind gate duty

A chance to connect with both parents and students.

Initially, when I was assigned gate duty a couple of years ago, I felt apprehensive. It was unfamiliar territory, as in my home country, such formal greetings weren't customary. Greetings between students and teachers happened naturally.

Should foreign teachers do gate duty?

Postbox letter from Jack

If you think refusing to stand gate guard duty when it is expected will help you live a happier and more successful life, by all means refuse
