"I would like to see schools run for 52 weeks of the year. Then working parents can take holidays when they would like, without the need to arrange child care during enforced holidays. There would be restrictions for certain age groups when important examinations are due. This would improve work access for single parents, reduce holiday costs at certain times of the year, and be more flexible"
A slightly more informative version of the last time I set the title to "School Holidays".
Still no explanation of how teachers are going to get any holiday. And no explanation at all of how you're going to deal with the lessons the kids miss.
When I think how nostalgically most people remember the long, long summer holidays of their youth, I can't help thinking it's a bit cruel of them to suggest taking it away from the kids - however much it would "make life easier" for parents.
