Should Kids Get More Time off for Christmas?

Two weeks is more than adequate for any end of term break in my opinion.

Well it’s a tough one cause parents who rely on childcare would have to take more time off or pay out more to watch their kids. It’s always 3 or 4 days before Christmas which seems late to me as well

We think one week is enough, and six weeks half term should be cut down to two weeks

Personally I'd rather have more time in the summer then winter. As its warmer do can do more

No I think 2weeks is just enough for Christmas

Nope. They have lost enough schooling thru covid

Two weeks Is more than enough. Do you get two weeks off for Christmas? I doubt It. I know I don’t. Would I like two weeks off? Yes but it’s not going to happen. If you got kids then It Is up to you to look after them. I know my parents did. It’s that simple.

The school break before Christmas was always really late. Been teaching for 10 years and have always finished either 2 or 3 days before Christmas. Was the same when I was at school. Most people work till Christmas eve so 22nd isn't too bad. 2 weeks is enough.

I'm extra busy just before Christmas so breaking up late is good for me. I'm not allowed to take time off in December either

No they have plenty of time.off as it is, anymore time off and they may aswell just give up going all together

No, 2 weeks is long enough, can't cope with them any longer than that lol

I used to love it when my children were off school and would have liked longer holiday time but now they are older and not at school, can’t stand the school holidays.

I went to boarding school so the terms were quiet a bit different to "normal" schools. We didnt get half terms but did get a much longer Christmas holiday - but shorter summer break - we essentially got the three holidays which were about the same length so much better spread out. If I remember it rightly we got 4 weeks Christmas and about the same for the other two proper holidays. I was never bothered at the shorted Summer holiday as our school was near the North Cornwall coast so it was like a holiday from Plymouth anyway!

No. Kids have more than enough time off as it is.

Two weeks is enough. Education is important for kids.

Absolutely not. If teachers/kids can get 13 weeks a year off, then as equality must play a part, then so should the worker. However, as that will never happen, the kids and teachers should only get 4-5 weeks off a year, plus bank holidays.
