come on, your not seriously suggesting making the poor little mites work every week!!! 
6 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 thats thirteen weeks around here, plus "training days". Some schools have more than 6 weeks summer because of changes to next year's calendar etc, and i know of one school which is moving several classes (maybe an entire year group i dont know) to a seperate school, and this is another week lost for these kids because the other school doesn't open till a week later.
Many schools recently have been taking the summer holidays to refurbish classrooms and build new buildings etc. Many schools in doncaster are run-down 1960's timber framed buildings with rotting foundations, so refurbing these is a priority. I'm sure it is the same across the country too.

The holiday travel industry would come to its knees, Teachers numbers would crumble or more sick days,more kids would be suspended. Do lollipop men and women get paid in the school holidays?

I've been messing about with this webcam from my studio window so if you don't go on holiday you can watch this instead, its abit temperamental so be patient.

ok point taken on jb's teacher theory.and some schools (not all) needs refurbs. But why not the split the six week holiday up.2-2-2 or 4-2 or 3-3.We all get stressed in our jobs,But we don't get 13 weeks holiday...
because kids "play out" in summer. Think back to your childhood (a long time ago, i know), and think of the great times you had during the 6 week break! And the sense of great joy when you left school for the last time that year summer.vokera80e said:
