I'm hanging on by teeth and toenails to make it to Fall Break - teachers have to come on Monday the 7th, then we're off for almost two weeks. Dare I hope there could be writing that's not of the lesson plan variety?
WHAT THE HELL IS FALL BREAK? Is this some sort of nonsense you get because you go back to school in the middle of the goddamn summer? (Idk why I just got violate there. I find your school system confusing!) In MI, we go back the day after Labor Day and run until around June 12th-ish (depending on snow days). We get about a half dozen three day weekends due to holidays like President's Day and teacher conferences, and then we would get two weeks at Christmas and one week at the beginning of April and THAT IS IT FOR TIME OFF! Do you guys get more time off because you go back sooner? Is that the deal?
So, how do you feel about year-round school? I have always supported them myself because I saw so many kids who didn't even pick up a book or a pencil all summer and I always felt like they lose more things that they learned that way. Plus, year round schools get more actual time off. But I always wondered how a teacher would feel about it.
