I am curious to know what changed around that time. For many years it was seen as the job of a teacher that, where a colleague was sick, for example, another teacher would supervise the class, or a teacher provided yard supervision for, say, one lunchbreak every three weeks depending on the number of teachers. What was the change in circumstances that led teachers to think that supervision was no longer part of their job?
