Why it works
- Prep straight after the last class keeps it at school, so evenings stay yours.
- Marking gets one fixed slot. Open-ended marking fills every free hour otherwise.
- Training at 17:00 is a clean break between school and home.
Make it yours
- Do your own marking on Sunday if Saturdays are for family.
- Exam season: add a second marking block, and take it back out afterwards.
