Oh so green with envy am I! I hope our county moves to that schedule eventually. Enjoy the nice break with your little cuties.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant - our terms can be anything from 8 to 12 weeks! We're just finishing our Spring break here in Australia, hope you enjoy yours! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time off, Ted! Those two cutie pies will probably keep you movin' and groovin'!

So jealous...wishing the East Coast/New England would move to that schedule. How does summer work? and do you put in 180 days of school, like we do here?
ReplyDeletePlease explain!
We end school around May 25th...and teachers return around July 25th. Kids start back Aug 1st. It still is around 180 days.
ReplyDeleteWe're not balanced but we do have a fall break! It's called October Holiday and some might say it's China's equivalent of the 4th of July---a patriotic holiday celebrating the current government. We have an entire week of break so I traveled with some friends to Mongolia. Some years I'm anxious to rest at home after the month and a half (we start around Aug 10). Other years I go to a teachers conference in Beijing during that time. This year, a real vacation in another country was just what I needed! Now back to work until Thanksgiving, when I'm off to Thailand for this year's teachers conference. Then two weeks at Christmas, two weeks at Chinese New Year, a week at Easter, and a long weekend in May (Chinese Labor Day)---then suddenly it will be June again!
