School Holidays

[rockyracoon]

It was said on Sky News this morning that from 2015 schools will be able to set their own holidays, the only stipulation is that they must be open for 190 days a year (my childrens svhool already do 192, the kids will be delighted, not). Anyway, do you think schools will really change or just keep the status quo What a nightmare if you've got kids in different schools, I reckon there will be lots of unauthorised absences with families trying to organise holidays.

Anybody who thinks that the long school holidays are for the kid's benefit had better think again. Talk to a Teacher, any Teacher ...its for them not the bloody kids !

not according to a relative who is a teacher, she works long and hard, and often has to do work in the school holidays, not to mention sports clubs, after school projects, it isn't all 9-5.
