Happy freakin’ Easter

Tomorrow for the second time in my life I’ll be celebrating Easter. However, not for religious reasons like everyone else, but because Easter signals the start of school holidays. I challenge teacher-bashers who constantly shout “BUT WHAT ABOUT THE GREAT HOLIDAYS?” to spend a term in a classroom trying to make 28 screaming kids learn against their wills, trying to placate 28 sets of parents who think their child is the centre of the universe, trying to deal with divisive and soul-destroying workplace politics, and trying to find time to actually teach because you’re so utterly overloaded with administration and non-teaching tasks.

I’m going to go and put my head under a pillow for four days.

Easter Santa

As part of my longstanding policy of not blogging my own teaching stories but blogging those of my colleagues instead, I hereby present to you an excerpt of an email from my strongly non-Catholic friend who teaches in a Catholic primary school:

Difficult to believe that we are now in second term, hope everyone’s ok… I got an Easter card from my Indian boy on the last day of term one. He drew a picture of Father Christmas on it. l might have to review my Easter program.
