School’s out! Education It’s the start of the long summer holiday, but do our kids really need this long break? asks Hilary Wilce It’s July. School’s out. And pupils and teachers - but especially teachers are ecstatic! By this time of year most of them are wrung out, overwrought, and maybe too exhausted even to say a proper thank you for the many presents that parents give them. Because this end-of-year gifting ritual has grown over the years until it is now practically written in stone that parents must shower their children’s teachers with chocolates, bath oil and theatre vouchers. In fact, like so many things in modern life, it has become a positive rat race of one-upmanship, with some parents in wealthy areas bestowing designer handbags and wads of cash. But teachers often say they appreciate the kind notes and cards far more than the presents themselves (well, perhaps not the cash…). This is because today’s teaching is so often a thankless task. While many teachers love their hours in the classroom and say it’s a privilege to be shaping young minds, almost all now work in less-than-ideal circumstances. Most have to deal with a trying combination of wayward pupils, constantly changing exams and syllabuses, underfunded schools, poor management and complaining parents. In addition they have to read damning headlines about teachers in the press and are often blamed for social ills like obesity and child mental health problems, whose roots lie far beyond school. So a few kind words from an appreciative parent at the end of term can feel like gold dust. But you, as a parent – even as you hand over your carefully wrapped bottle of body lotion - might actually not be feeling all that appreciative of a profession which goes AWOL for six to eight weeks of the summer, leaving you to devise numerous cunning and expensive ways to keep your child supervised and entertained. Surely, you think, any job that gives people that sort of summer break is a bit of a doddle? The long summer holiday was historically there so children could help with the harvest. But now, when all that most children harvest is ‘likes’ for their social media posts, there are plenty of people in and around the educational world who say it’s time for schools to chop the school year into more manageable bite-sized pieces. A few have already done so, and say the advantages are overwhelming. Pupils don’t forget so much of what they’ve learned in their shorter summer holiday. Neither do they get so bored. Pupils and teachers alike no longer have to crawl exhausted to the end of three long terms. Family holidays can be spread throughout the year. And working parents - which these days means most parents - find it easier to plug the kind of childcare gaps created by regular short school breaks. But, as the headmaster of one of this country’s leading independent schools recently explained to me, it ain’t never going to happen on any widespread scale. The universities and exam boards, he said, are far too invested in how things run now to consider tearing up their timetables. Also his “poor teachers” would be horrified at the thought of losing their long summer break. Perhaps surprisingly, the only group he thought would welcome it would be the pupils. At the end of last summer he had bumped into one of his girl students in the local town and asked her how she was. She looked glum and she was, she told him, “schoolsick”, and absolutely longing for the routines and activities of school to start up again. However no-one – not pupils, teachers or even parents - feels like this in July, when the long, lazy promise of summer lies ahead. Happy holidays everyone. 141 surrey-homes.co.uk
