A possible solution to the spring break conundrum
KAMLOOPS — The spring break debate in the Kamloops-Thompson school district is one of pure self-interest on the part of everyone involved.
The district has vacillated between a two-week break, as is the case in most of the province, or a one-week break, as was the case in Kamloops from time immemorial.
Teachers are looking for two weeks, because who wouldn’t want an extra week off?
Unfortunately, as much as teachers do wonderful, valuable work, it’s hard to see why they might need another week on top of the time outside of the classroom already afforded.
