I think the holidays are great, I think the kids spend enough time at school, I think
00:04
the six-week holidays, they deserve it. By the time they finish the school years, the
00:09
terms, they're absolutely knackered, they need a bit of playtime. So I agree, no problem
00:16
at all with the school terms and the six-week holidays.
00:21
I think they should be longer because if you think there's five days you've got to go to
00:25
school and only two days you get off, so you can then spend more time with family and
00:31
friends rather than having more time at school since there's only five days you get at school
00:38
and two days that you don't get at school.
00:41
I think half-term breaks should be longer, either make them longer or they can shorten
00:46
them but then they have to give us like three weeks at full term.
00:49
Well I remember it was just three days and that's all we got then and I think it should
00:53
be reduced to three days now so that they're a bit longer at school because a week is
00:58
too long, I quite agree.
