I know many colleagues will be dreading the first day back at school, doing their best to enjoy what's left of the 6 week summer break.
However, I am looking forward to starting again. I have found myself twiddling my thumbs, bored at home. I don't have the distraction of my own children, my girlfriend works through the holidays and my friends are in the same situation, they are also working. I have done most of my preparation work for next term and my classroom is good to go.
I would be in favour of only a four week summer break and then a longer break over Christmas, probably after new year. This would make sense if you think about it, especially with the snow we have had in recent January / February times forcing some schools to close anyway.
What do other young teachers do over the summer? I would be interested in finding out.
