So what ? i haven't questioned whether they get paid or not for the holidays ,i questioned the practicalities of long Easter/Christmas and summer breaks .If teachers where contracted for more than 195 days a year then they could justify better pay scales and not have to do so much work outside of contracted hours.We are not in Dickensian Britain anymore ,it is the 21st century where education is the key to everything and imo the whole system of pay and holidays for teachers needs re inventing and bringing into line with the rest of reality

You just read it bizarrely,in no way did i suggest that a proposal to reduce holidays had been made
