Is 10th August a school holiday for your kid's school?

That's another proble with schools.. they like to organise activities during weekdays..

If they can have activities on weekends.. like carnivals, meet the parents etc.. This wouldn't be an issue..

In life, you win some, you lose some too.


Have you all thought of the teachers who have school children but yet can't apply leave to attend their child's school activities?

It's very sad. While I don't think my child has a preference, I personally want to attend all my child's school activities. Sounds silly? Heheh I donno why also but I am like the most diehard fan. Even if \"play truant\" also must go. I think if I am a teacher, I would leave the profession very soon. Too much restriction, not very child-raising friendly to me.

Oh suddenly, I appreciate all the teachers more.. :please:

you feel thus way probably because you have schooling kids. 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?

you will have schooling kids too.. soon..

Anyway, I would prefer longer rest althou it is more rigid. You may prefer flexible but significantly less rest days. you are of coz entitled to your preference.. that is absolutely ok.

btw, do note the teacher have 14day AL too, on top of the sch holidays.

of coz, they can't take leave at their whims and fancy, like going on planned holidays..

But if it is urgent cases like what you said, need to look after kids bcoz cc not open etc.. surely the principle would approve.. isn't it? It is already stated on MOE website that teacher have 14days AL (excluding sch holidays) for urgent matters.

I thought about it but I still prefer lesser but flexible leave.

If i am a teacher, I would feel very obliged to come to school to teach, even if my child is sick. It's the sense of duty as a teacher. I would feel very tone between my child and my job. Being a teacher is not for me... Too much social and moral responsibility.

If they have al, so the school holidays is just \"no need to teach\" only, not no need to work right? If want to go vacation during school holidays, need to apply leave right?
