I don't think i am going to get the full use out of this fantastic deal going by how much work people say i will have to do. If this sort of deal was available when i was in the holylands i would probably not have got a degree at all right now.

A bit like the alleged enrolment inflation in a Co Donegal secondary school about 10 years ago.  The ex principal is now back in Dublin.

Sometimes I think I'd like to take just July as the holiday and spread out the other weeks over the year. We're back January 4th next year I think - would happily leave that til the 11th. Two full weeks at Easter perhaps.

There is an excellent argument for spreading the teaching year across the calendar year with more and shorter breaks. It would be better for teachers and children.  Unfortunately, we are governed in too many ways by the universities and the exam system.

It would save money on heating closing for 3/4 weeks at Christmas and not closing in the summer.

I wish I could get a day or two in a classroom.

All teachers dread General Inspections.

Year round schools are big over here - and growing each year. Much easier for parents to handle the 3 shorter breaks than one big one in the summer from what friends of mine with kids in these schools have told me.

Are you having an inspection as well?

No, just yourselves.

Although, I've probably scudded us now.
