i've done this before, but my school this year wants to know the approximate cost of my vacation and have me do a short report on it when i get back. this isn't for any extra days, just my 7 contracted vacation days. is this normal?

haha the heck with that. Your vacation is YOUR TIME!!!!! Unlesse they're giving you "Professional Development" time, it's none of their business.

If you want to sit at home and do nothing, do it. If you want an excursion in Thailand, do it... If you want to go home, do it!.... Getting the drift? Very Happy

yeah, i'm going to refuse to tell them the cost definitely, while they already know where i'm going in thailand, i won't be writing a report or any further details about it.

You're a government employee and this is a new thing that is being required. They're saying it's due to economic circumstances.

Drank Singha, had sex. 500 times and tell your co-teacher it's a 2000 word essay. Wink

If you have to do it then just print off a university essay and put a vacation cover page on it. Not to say whoever will actually glance at your report.

well, i already told my CT that i didn't think it was any of the school's business how much i spend on my vacation, and the only thing she offered up was that the last FT did it. as for the report thing, she's quickly her mind and just told me to write anything (this is before i go on the actual vacation) Very Happy

i wrote one-word: vacation.

spoke too soon. my VP wants me to write more about what i'm doing... i told my co-teacher it's my personal time and i don't want to discuss what i'm doing. i know it's not a big deal, but i would've agreed if my school was nicer to me during the winter "break"

Just cut and paste something about the area you are staying in from wilipedia or similar. I have heard of this happening to several people. Just plain rediculous. Good luck and have a good holiday.
