The teachers will be up in arms with you Muffy ,there goes two weeks of their paid holiday ,more ammunition for strike action.lol.
But ,i see no reason why the powers that be could not move two of the weeks to a later date in the year to give students a welcome break in a very hectic, fraught school year.Fred. :-)

From 6 wks down to 4 ...

good idea or not?

Some teachers are saying that the 6wk break is essential.

From what i can remember as a child I was always totally fed up after 4 wks of my summer holiday and would've willingly gone back to school then.

Would be interested to hear your views, especially from teachers or those involved in education, because as a parent .....just going on my experience I'm in favour but willing to be persuaded otherwise x
