Mike Wood, a Grade 6 teacher at Cloverdale's George Greenaway Elementary, marked math and social studies assignments while sitting in the Willowbrook Shopping Centre's food court Monday afternoon. Wood was among the teachers from the Langley and Surrey school districts involved in a "mark-in." The intent was to show the unpaid work teachers do in private, and that teaching is more than a profession that exists in the classroom. While numbers weren't known at press time, organizers had hoped 50 teachers would take part in the Langley event. The public was invited to approach the teachers with any questions they may have during the mark-in, which ran for about two hours.
