spoke to a parent this moring, the relief that the kids are back in school, was clearly written all over his face. its true, teachers do get a hell of a lot of holidays, they also still get paid for last week staying at home, where most parents have to miss a weeks wages, run around looking for some cover to look after those pesky kids. traumatic for most, add to the loss of a weeks education, missing exams, how do they cope in places like Iceland,Norway,Denmark, Sweden?
this could be sorted with a winter break, we give them 6 weeks off in the summer,and even as a child, i thought this was to long. a winter break that parents could plan for in advance, may be the solution? love to hear your views on this
the above counties carry on as normal its only the uk that cope with any situation,and yes 4 wks summer and 4 wks winter hols wud b best solution but powers that b will take yrs to come up with this one ahhhhhhhhh good old england who the f..k needs it
