00:00Mr. Roberts said rumblings from some parents objecting to the extended vacation
00:25bring to light what teachers face in the school system.
00:29I have seen some of the parents, I don't know if they're joking me,
00:32but they're complaining about the extra week they haven't been seeing about their children,
00:36which kind of highlights the work it really takes in giving care and nurturing our nation's children.
00:43So it's beneficial if we use it appropriately.
00:48Mr. Roberts said teachers have been consumed with workshops taking over their vacation.
00:54I know they had preparation workshops and so on by the division,
00:59and they had impact program and all these other things, not even the teachers, the rest that they need.
01:06If we don't get the additional rest and to be able to get for the academic care,
01:11then it may not have been as useful as we would want it to be.
01:14Going forward, however, Roberts said the term must be monitored.
01:18Going forward, though, I would hope that the curriculum unit, supervision, monitor the term,
01:24because we usually capitalize on this September term with the additional days to push the work.
01:30As we know, the second term will have a lot of disruptions, usually carnivals, sports, a lot of activities,
01:37so that second term is usually very broken up, and the last term is short.
01:41So the negative to that is, the term that we really pushed the work is now being cut short one week.
