As far as i know they are the only profession without any holiday entitlement written into their contracts,so ,yes , teachers are a special case and i still have to ask the question why is this so .It seems daft to me that we are trying to cram so much stuff into so short a time .

Makes perfect sense.
And if you read the contract you will see it quite clearly states that a teacher is required to work any reasonable hours to perform their duties ,this is covered in their salary and cannot be scheduled by their employer ,it is up to the teacher to manage that extra time as it is required .
