No, I think they should have more time off, but I think that it should be spread out because
00:05
it's ridiculous where so many people have got to go on holiday, and at that time the
00:11
holidays are ten times dearer than what they are normally. So why not let the kids be more
00:16
staggered? That's my opinion.
00:17
I think it's splitting more, because six weeks is a long time. So if you turn round and said
00:23
like three weeks, but then again the prices go up everywhere during them holidays.
00:30
I think basically, yeah, I'd say just leave it as it is. Because there's no big change.
00:39
If they want to learn, children will learn. And if they don't want to, they won't.
00:47
Let's face it, the last week in school for any of the kids from our holidays is nothing.
00:52
Well, I do think there's too much homework, I must say that. Yeah, I really do. Because
00:55
I know the kids have got other things to do in their life in the evening times, haven't they?
