No coursework or homework, and we certainly didn't need to worry about working

I was talking to algie last year, and he said being at school were the best days of your life

he's right

Bullshit.

No money, no rights, nowhere to run. It was shit being at school.

And now it's long behind me, the shorter their holidays the better. I hate encountering children at any time of day or night, so the less this is likely the happier I shall be. Lock 'em up 11 months a year I say

But aren't many schools around the world now looking at a more year round education system? With several shorter breaks rather than the longer ones?

We are on week three of summer holidays here and mid September feels like an eternity away.

My school days certainly weren't the best of my life, by a long shot.

No he's not, but it does rather depend on what you manage to make of your life.
