I don't begrudge them their holidays. I can't think of anything worse than 35 of the little darlings at once! You couldn't pay me enough danger money to do it

i would have to agree there keith, in defence of secondary school teachers there is a lot of nonsense put about regarding their hours and holidays.
many run after school activities and preparation of lessons and marking work is done at evenings and weekends.

Without starting to sound like a tory
you will find many teachers dip out of these activities these days
being a referee and having a lot to do with school footy its noticable the change
