10th August Holiday..

So shiok to work in schools..

U sure? If I am not wrong, they only can go on leave during school holiday leh. Good meh? Normal days kid sick also cannot on leave....

I'm willing to trade 14days AL (can take anytime) for 10 weeks paid leave (can take only during sch holiday, minus a few days of extra duties). And that 10 weeks is excluding extra holidays like 10th August, youth day etc..

fyi, some professions/jobs can't even take leave during sch holidays! want to bring kids go holiday also cannot. To be on leave with the kids holidays is a wonderful thing by itself.. isn't it? before even factoring in the duration.

I don't know about you, but when the kids wear red n white on National Day, I also join in And it feels special seeing other adults also wearing red n white, giving each other knowing smiles as they pass by each other.


Happy Birthday, Singapore!

Also note that a lot of children are involved in the ndp one way or another. The day after national day holiday is good for these group of students so they miss out on lessons.

Mine is preschooler, being able to on leave anytime I need is far more impt than having 10weeks of leave which I can take only during stipulated period. Who is going to take care of my child if he can't go to cc?
