I cannot grasp how a reasoning adult could find that reasonable.
I'm a bit late to this, but surely Danyl was taking the piss?

I'd say "the only thing", but that's not true - teachers do get good holidays.
Um. Well. They used to. My sister has just had the first relaxing holiday for years, but it was a bare two weeks. She's been back at school every day this week, though there are no kids yet.
Every break since she began teaching - and she teaches special needs children - she has worked through, either catching up or preparing for the next term.

But recruitment processes often can't deliver what they really want, only what they think they want.
And in the ordinary scheme of things - at least, in these times - is that everyone must account for hours spent doing stuff, with payoffs to match presumably. Not much time for constructive thinking....
Off-thread slightly, but just looking at teachers' workloads, and the amount of time they are forced to spend dotting "i"s and crossing "t"s so that someone (higher up) can prove they have delivered their part of the job to their superiors. Endless. Gives me a headache.

Oh. I thought it was "extra to above". Never mind, still got the job done!
Bang on Dyan and Danielle.
ETA: Just realized that could be misconstrued....I mean, you're right on the point with your comments.

well, probably enough for one meal.
Yep. That was my pot of home-grown Jersey Bennies too. Just enough for one meal for one! (Probably too hot in Auckers for them.)

I don’t live in a country where the Prime Minister can pass legislation by fiat.
Ah, but he could get Gerry to do it, couldn't he? :)

As well, there's always that favourite drink they had during the war - ersatz coffee. Acorn tipple, anyone?
