We have the same issues. In the U.S., the typical range of "in-school" days can be anywhere from 160 - 185. Family trips during the school year which are taken immediately before or after the designated school vacations serve to extend the time away from the classroom for lots of kids. Many schools continue to eliminate music, art, foreign language, etc. due to budget restrictions. It troubles me how many of the same problems still exist after 60 years! Thanks for writing!Ann B.

The students are often on camps either with the school or with their parents during school terms not designated holidays. The result being they don't seem to spend enough time at school. Sadly a large proportion of school leavers are illiterate. The Powers That Be seem to be finally listening but the wheels of government are notoriously slow especially with an election looming.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758926343154376267noreply@blogger.com
