They get part of many holidays.
00:03
I think they're fine as they are now, to be fair, because I feel like if you have longer
00:08
holidays it's less time to learn, and then shorter holidays it's more stress, I guess.
00:14
I don't know.
00:15
I think it's the perfect amount.
00:16
It's alright.
00:17
It could vary per school, do you know what I mean, if some schools are struggling, whatever.
00:21
Yeah, I think it could vary by, yeah, because some of them it feels arbitrary, like, especially
00:26
Easter holidays being two weeks.
00:28
I don't know for religious schools, perhaps any Muslim school or anything, they could
00:32
like, they don't need it.
00:33
Maybe six weeks.
00:34
Yeah.
00:35
It's a little bit, but it's not bad at all.
00:36
Yeah.
00:37
It's alright.
00:38
Yeah.
00:39
I think term times are quite a solid length.
00:41
I think they're pretty good.
00:42
I think it comes down to quality of learning, not the quantity.
00:46
I do think, though, there should be slightly longer half-terms, because one week isn't
00:50
really enough to get your energy back for the next half-term.
00:54
So what they get now is, even the first week they're bored, they've got nothing to do.
