Time for a break

The holidays are here but the poor teachers and children are still going to school for extra classes. Holidays are for fun, relaxation and basically, doing nothing in particular but taking a break from routine, from school, and for doing things you never got around to doing because of school. We must be careful we do not pluck our students' childhood from them. They need to play, hang out with their friends, catch up with their studies, etc and miss school again.
For teachers, we will be busy marking the mid-year exams esp those holding examination classes in the upper forms. If one teaches 5 classes, there will be more 200 essays, and summary to correct. But I would schedule some fun time, relaxing in my garden, recuperating, dreaming and recharging myself to come back for the second half of the year. Happy Holidays everyone!
