I have been doing some research on jobs in the Czech Republic, and I can't help but notice the distinct lack of vacation time - both paid and unpaid. Is this the norm for the country and the region? Or have I just been looking at all the wrong places?

It's because contracts fr private language schools generally run Sept - June. Most teachers have to scrounge a bit through the summer. There are obviously holidays in the winter, and the odd day here and there, but language teachers in private schools are generally paid for teaching hours only. These are not like contracts with salary and benefits!
