Christmas Luxuries for Teachers

Tips and Tricks - 07-12-2022 - - 0 comments

The Christmas Holidays are on their way and we can’t wait for our reduced working hours so we know that our school staff are looking forward to their time off.

Even though teaching can be extremely rewarding school staff still love their time off for many reasons, so we asked our school staff what their top reason for looking forward to the holidays were and put together a list of what luxuries teachers get to enjoy over the holidays…

Going to the toilet whenever you want

Going out to lunch like normal people

Drinking coffee and tea before it gets cold

Reading books that aren’t aimed at children

Wearing comfortable clothes

No bells, fire alarms or alarm clocks

Silence… sweet, sweet silence

To all of our school staff, we hope you enjoy your well-deserved break this Christmas and make the most out of all the luxuries this break will offer you.
