I was enquring on a teachers thread why staff training days are in term time.  I have no issues looking after my children at anytime the issue is the hassle of getting leave, which sometimes is difficult at short notice - you never answered my - have you many kids yourself ..?
no, we've none, we're in process of adopting at the minute, why?

I certainly don't think teachers are childminders or anything of the sort, a lot of parents however seem to think they are there to raise children.

Good luck with that process, and if successful you will then know that planning is needed for all child care arrangements, you may just have a different attitude of parenting rather than the pure hatred of everything parental and child based that you have spouted over the years.

On the other point I am not one of those parents or know of anyone of that ilk and take exception to be categorized as one.

eggy. already said that teachers are parents also and need to arrange child minders also, so they also have the same problem you have.

and if you have a problem with that you shouldn't have had kids in the first place.
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Bit of an extreme view for asking why do teachers have staff training days during term time do you not think?

I was referring to holiday probably from a students perspective, I am not a teacher, my contract stipulates 25 days annual leave, does a teachers stipulate then 60 or 70 or whatever all the non-term time adds up to and can none of this non term time not be used for staff training?  They seem to yap enough if you upset them by taking your child out of school for a day whilst on an overseas holiday but all parents can whistle and arrange child care at the drop of a hat when they require "training".

A teacher's contract is not as good as yours by the sounds of it.  Teachers are only employed for 195 days per year on a daily rate.  By law, those employed on at least a yearly contract must be paid over twelve months, no payment for holidays.  In the not too distant past, teachers were paid over ten months or the school year. They don't have the opportunity to work 235 days like you.  While you have 25 days annual leave you also have at least 12 statutory holidays per annum.

The regulation on term time holidays for families is determined not by teachers but the Dept of Education.  Term time holidays have a seriously detrimental effect on a child's education, almost as much as the summer holidays.

Sorry with pints complaining about parents as usual (at least he's not advocating whacking toddlers this time) I didn't get to say thanks for this answer.

no not really eggy, listen to yourself.

teachers have those training days at the drop of a hat cause ideas happen and schools want to employ those policies during the year. not the following year!!

to be honest your being very petty, the training days are to help YOUR kids develop.

For any teachers why are staff training days in schools always during term time and on a Friday?  Surely to God the 4 months odd they are off a year training could be penciled in here, there must be at least 2 / 3 every term.
