Bulgaria Ski discussion board

re: School Holidays

Being ironic in a pythonesque style..

Seriously, it does kids more good than harm to do things like skiing when their Mum and Dad can afford to take them rather than not at all. Our two are coming with us tomorrow to Bansko a week before the end of term.

re: School Holidays

As for working harder well i work full time and for the Government but common sense tells me if i can get a holiday £800 cheaper for going one week later then thats when im going.. Also why is it they close the school for 5/6 days a year for teacher training days i dont see the problem with my son not going to school for 5/6 days a year for skiing training..

re: School Holidays

And good to get off topic, because I am coming to the conclusion that original post has been put onto a forum where the vast majority of readers like their holidays, just to wind up the audience.

Mission accomplished.

re: School Holidays

I thought this was a forum for help and advise on skiing - not parenting?!?!

Flying out with 2 children tomorrow and will have a lovely time.

Cheers

re: School Holidays

Hi, I'm a teacher and I believe that a bulgarian holiday in term time can be at times a rich and rewarding experience for a child. That is - as long as the parent makes an effort to make it a cultural experience as well as a PE holiday. Eating in local restaurants, visiting Monasteries,churches, Shroka Laka, Smoylan, Plovdiv etc. Bulgaria has much to offer!!!!!

re: School Holidays

take the children out of school for them. it is a great experience.
what is the difference in kids going 4 a ski holiday with parents than going on a ski holiday with school,many schools offer a ski trip.
we only live once a week off school wont harm any1

re: School Holidays

Dont you just hate these people on the "moral high ground" - he must work for the travel industry and has been offered a bonus if he can increase half terms sales!

And no I dont take my kids out of school to go on holiday.

re: School Holidays

Just love the schools ,

My son is off to the czech republic slopes next feb at a cost of £750 and thats having to travel by coach ...... Bargain !!!! Not
Anyway what make's me laugh the trip has be organised during the school term .
Sorry but these people have double standards or the teachers must love a freebie ski trip

re: School Holidays

Peter you're obviously a very articulate member of society and your view and presentation well thought through. The amount of response in itself, proves this is a great subject for intellectual debate....However I'm not going to be drawn in by that and would like to end now by saying I think your a dick!!!!!!
