Teachers working during school holidays 老師放假也得上班

A picture of me working through a textbook while I’m on holiday in a 5 star hotel (Peppers Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Australia)

以上是我在黃金海岸五星級旅館讀課本的照片。

As a teacher, many people say to me how lucky I am, because of all the school holidays I get. Don’t forget we need to learn what we need to teach, before we teach it. So during each school holiday is when I use that time to study before the school year starts. Because let’s face it, after school starts, we will be so busy with other work there won’t be much time to study.

當老師常常會有人告訴我,我有多幸運,因為每年都可以比平常人多放很多假。但他們沒想到,老師要教的東西,必須自己先精通才行。而放假的時候也是我唯一有時間讀書的時候。開學之後讀書就來不及了,更何況會有有更多其他工作要做。
