That's cool, I don't think it's pan-European, though. My better half is also a teacher, so yeah, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can get compensated with cash? I work 40hrs and get paid 36hrs for these vacations, so I'd be pissed off otherwise. I got sick with corona during Xmas vacation and i reported it anyway. What do you teach btw? Teacher here as well, for HBO Rechten (law students) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent one vacation basically developing the curriculum and working on logistics, while also following a required course about didactics. I've never had a proper weekend off the last couple of months. But halfway July, i can unwind for about 5 weeks so I'm good. Looking forward lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's awesome. Totally different than when i was working as a court clerk. Back then when i got back from two weeks (at the most) of vacation my desk was loaded with case files piling up. During vacation i was never able to properly let go thinking about the cases i was still working on. But here, when summer's around the corner you can just let go when you're done. There's simply nothing to do for a while and after summer holidays you basically start with a clean slate. Easiest life of my life would recommend 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wunderbar Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 One positive thing about teaching i assume is that you feel like you are doing something positive with your life? I work for this company that has some big polluters as clients, makes me sad thinking about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Jan Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 1 minute ago, Wunderbar said: You can just chill out for 3 months ? It's a holiday every 8-10 weeks or so for me. Summer break is 6 weeks, christmas and spring break are both 2 weeks, plus two 1-week holidays too. Then those 5 optional free days on top of that. Disclaimer: conveniently not mentioning all the overtime during a regular week. Loads of evenings and weekends lost that way. Still recommended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Although most of my students will go on to spend their lives building needlessly complicated CRUD applications for use by marketing companies, I tell myself that at least some of them will do something useful with the skills I teach them. I’m not sure this has already happened but one can always hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambermonk Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I received a custom coin at work today directly from the chief director. It was basically a micro plaque with a hole inside of it that allows it to be used as a bottle opener. It's the first time I received official commendation at work for acting as an unofficial ambassador for visiting JASDF air crews during an annual joint military exercise. But yeah. Me good boi, me get prize. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
