|
|
| I was told today that the new semester at my middle school will start on 17th August. This was much sooner than I expected and it means that I will have less than three weeks vacation (due to having to do an English camp) before starting my new contract. Is everyone else in the same boat? |

I would have been if I hadn't quit to get my bonus and a good holiday.
I'll probably be returning to the public schol scene later- but at my liesure. |

For an EPIK contract you only get 7 working days. If you schedule it with two weekends that will be 11 days total.
If you are talking about your home time at the end of the contract then
you get that regardless of when school starts. |

Sounds like you are having a school camp. |
