So you're saying that my mother and my sister in law aren't good or committed to their jobs because they spent the last half term on holiday with me instead of working?
=====
It's not impossible. I don't know them so I can't judge. The teachers I know don't seem to have that much time even when school is out. Some are more articulate than others. That's just a fact of life.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I grew up in a family where both my grandad and my mum were teachers. If they didn't have time in the school holidays, it wasn't because of teaching work.

I'd suggest the teachers you know are either boring (quite common with teachers as they just love talking about teaching with other teachers), not very good at managing their time / workload or are lying to avoid spending time around you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I grew up in a family where my dad was a teacher, and several uncles and aunties were. My sister is now a teacher. The workloads and strain on teachers now are significantly higher than they were when my dad, and dare I say your mum and grandad, were teachers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

My mum is still a teacher. Albeit retiring this summer, which is much deserved.

Why is it deserved with 12 weeks holiday per year? Eh?

My experience is different to be fair, and we haven't even mentioned that they have to work with kids which is quite challenging and different from a regular desk job in my experience.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is a challenging job. I know my sister in law does a lot to support children outside of just teaching.

I just find the holidays argument stupid from both angles. The amount of holiday is a perk of the job. I don't begrudge them it as it is a challenging job and not something I would want to do. I don't see why both sides need to pretend otherwise.

She is actually retiring to support my dad who has started to have mobility issues. She can't claim her full pension yet.

I know it sounds like a cliche but teaching really is a vocation tather than just a job.

I visit Special Needs Schools nearly everyday and the teachers are absolutely brilliant. I couldn't do that job even if I was offered full training on £60k a year then twice that, thereafter.

If you want to know about Survation's MRP track record - in 2019 they were 12 seats off the Conservative result and 17 seats off Labour.

Con 353 (365 actual)
Lab 219 (202 actual)
Lib Dems 11 (11 actual)
