Every teacher has heard it all before when it comes to the 13 weeks 'off' a year that we get.
It's used as a stick to beat us with, to justify tonnes of extra work and (even though we are in a retention crisis) a reason as to why our job is 'easy'.
So why do so many teachers struggle with the 6 week break? Why would some rather see it scrapped altogether? What are the pros and cons?
Join us for a great discussion, as well as the usual wiffle-waffle including:
- Dylan turning 30 and why the 30s stereotypes are true..
- An embarrassing chest hair related story
- Hayden's new obsession
- a couple of funny stories from the classroom
- a toxic SLT anecdote!
Hope you enjoy.
