Ha! When will the STUDENTS break up you mean! They break up this Friday for two weeks. During the two weeks they are on holiday I have at least 100 peices of work to mark, interviews to do for next year's courses, standards verifying meetings to attend (where we swap pieces of work we have marked with other lecturers and verify each other's marks - the universities and exam boards demand this) and staff development sessions to deliver. Then, for a whole day, I have to attend a seminar as a student myself for a qualification I am doing. We have to update our qualifications all of the time. So, if I am lucky, I will get Good Friday and Easter Monday off - but then that's about the same as everyone else, isn't it? Whenever I hear someone say that I must get lots of holidays because I teach I smile to myself and think - if only!
