I thought you might be interested in the latest commissioned responses published as part of spiked's online debate 'Work/life balance: What role can flexible working play in solving the teaching crisis?'

- John Parker, recruitment strategy manager for Essex Local Education Authority, argues that 'jobshares offer a number of advantages both for teachers and for individual schools'

- Teacher trainer Gina Owens argues that 'teachers should be able to take back responsibility for teaching'

- Ian Draper, of the UK National Work-Stress Network, argues that 'overcoming work pressure requires a mix of approaches'

- Careers consultant Linda Murdoch argues that 'teaching is not just like any other job'
