That's cool you always get 3 weeks! I'm sure the full 2 months was amazing though! That's a lot of official vacation. Yeah when the kids are out of school, we get a good month off, but then after that we have to start preparing for the year. We go to trainings a lot too. June is pretty much all off, but this year I'm working 3 extra days in June but getting an extra 200-300 for that.I mean you randomly take 1 month off because we don't have set times we're off work. We work all through the year and decide for ourselves when we want time off. My yearly holiday is always at least 3 weeks in september. Last year I had September and October off, 2 full months. I loved it. At this moment I have 150 hours of overtime and 110 hours official vacation. 😅
Many people think teachers get a lot of vacation because when students are not in school, teachers don't have to work but it takes lots of planning and grading and preparing I bet.
