School holidays for me start on the coming saturday, and go for 2 weeks. The last week is always the worst for me... I have an average of 5 assesments on the last week, normally two on the last day. The teachers do it so that students don't just stay home. Holidays for me mean 18 hours of TPT forums a day... with a bit of programming.
At my school, there are no students the day before the last day... Why would they just not make it the last day!!! (then in a logical response, there is no reason why it should be the last day as opposed to the second last day.
