INSET is a way of ensuring teachers don't enjoy the days they have in school without children. The point of it seems to be to make sure that we are occupied in activities which either completely waste our time, or embarrass us fully. Both leave a teacher feeling resentful of being there, thinking about what they could be doing that is so much more useful.
Yesterday however I went on a course to another school and I actually enjoyed it! Shock, horror. I'm not convinced that it would work in reality but can see that the principle behind it is good.
