well nobody wants to say how many weeks off they get a year from this arduous task a teaching a few hours a week. SIL is a headmistress in Bkk her husband is a head teacher, both are bone idle, seem clueless about education, cant speak a word of English and I have never seen a book in their house. Teachers the world over have us believe they are over worked and underpaid, I think it's the reverse.
