School Holidays

Having just broken up yesterday for the 3 week Easter holiday makes any teacher realise that the job isn't that bad really. Those who are always complaining about how busy they are often conveniently forget these times when even the most conscientious teacher has it easy.

I am always a little suspicious about a teacher who claims to spend all of their holiday working. Most of us do put in a few hours but I am certainly planning on enjoying myself too.

To start with I am just setting off on a school trip - yes, it is work, but I will certainly enjoy the attractions of the Rhine Valley and may even brush up on my rather rusty German. Boppard, as shown above, is a really attractive little town which is, apparently, known as the "town of schools". How appropriate!
