REGARDING the debate over whether school holidays in summer should be reduced from six weeks...
As a working parent I only have five weeks holiday a year.
I have no help through holidays.
My husband and I rarely get time off together as we need to cover holidays for children.
I appreciate what teachers do and how tough their jobs are but isn’t everyone’s job tough on a level?
I don’t get six weeks off in summer as I am not a teacher.
Either we need more holidays/more viable options for children (in USA they have accredited summer camps) or better working arrangements.
I agree that it would be wonderful for four weeks at Christmas and four weeks at summer but again, working and being a parent is difficult and expensive.
