Yes, Harry… schools are very helpful… but for those without kids this is often a bit of a blur… and for organizing activities it is best to know what dates should be avoided.
One lady was telling me… but, that day will be a holiday… and I’m looking at the Bank Holidays and saying … oh, no it won’t… (silly me)
For those of us without kids it’s important… Forgot about all those May days and extra long weekends etc; one year and ended up in a mobile home surrounded by screaming kids (luckily we were out all day) but the evenings were so noisy, never again !
My friends daughter, English, is teaching in a convent school and apart from the six to eight year olds she is horrified at the appalling behaviour of her pupils.
She did not know how to deal with them, but hearing the other teachers shouting has made her less worried about asserting herself.
