School Holiday Rant on Facebook

[Slacker]

Maybe staggered holidays is a good idea. Couple of weeks June, July & August with different parts of the country having different parts of the months. That would force holiday companies to equalise prices. Not sure how well it would go down with schools but the rest of us have our holidays in that type of pattern.

I'm going to jump in at the deep end now and think about myself.

I know I have said let the famiies have a floating two weeks each year.

However I avoid school holidays when booking ours.
Not because of the cost although that is a bonus, but because spending so much time with children over the years I just hate to be around them when on holiday.
Right! going to run for cover now  ===================

Why just when you're on holiday? I hate the little fuckers all the time.

Might work for the younger end, senior school kids would miss a vital part of their tuition

Not if the schools shut for 4 weeks only and of course parents would need to miss exam times
