  • That sounds pretty much like in French-speaking Belgium, where I’m located:) I teach 22 hours per week, I have to do my prepping at home because we don’t have desks, and since I don’t have an allotted classroom I can’t really stay there. Like you I appreciate our holidays, even though a lot of colleagues and parents complain because we changed that recently. The school year officially ends on July 7th and we also return on August 28th, people were used to leave on July 1st and start again on September 1st. With the new system we have generally 7-week periods of teaching spaced with 2 weeks of vacation. I like this rhythm but some people complain the kids come back having forgotten too much.
