School Holidays

As we approach Easter and the two week break, the teachers are on usual form. They are so tired and they need a break, they can't wait as this half term (all six weeks of it) has been a long one and class 9* have been on top form in their teacher baiting skills.

So off you go my pretties - you have your two week break. Some of us don't get to finish at 3.00pm every day and then sit around in meetings gossiping, some of us don't get the school holidays off - yes those of us who are termed ' support staff' on a 52 week contract don't have that luxury.

I'm not bitter though. You would not believe how wonderful a secondary school is when there are no teachers in it and no students in it. It's bliss. You can get work done without a teacher begging for rescue as they haven't got their copying done for this lesson, even though they knew back in September when the timetable was published that they would be teaching 7* this period on this day - like they do every week. Disorganised is not a word I commonly use - as I am not disorganised - but teachers, bless them, are not blessed with common sense.

So two weeks of quiet coming up and I can't wait - kind a holiday really!!!
