I feel for you though, i'm also a teacher (history, geography and music), and sometimes got the same feeling here in the Netherlands.
The holiday-payment agrument is false btw kjel. I have to make the same hours, sometimes even more, then all other people. So i still have 40 hour work week and all the hours missed in vacantion you fill up with all the other thousands tasks i have. Checking results of tests, being cop in school hall on the breakes, creating new lesson, meetings with my own section or other directory office, being Mentor of a class. Then i have like 3 taskforces i'm in and i organise a somekind of talentshow where all the kids can do singing and dancing ect.
I have full time job of 27 teaching hours (which is considered full time) BUT attached to those 27 hours there is a certain ammount of hours i HAVE to fullfill. WHich give me that i work the same amount of weeks/hours all other people do but in a shorter period of time. You get those hours in all those kind of examples i gave.

Ohh but you don't need to explain me that you do have alot of work, regardless the amount of holiday you have. My gf only has to teach 28 hours a day, but most evenings she has to spend 1-2 hours on preparations.
Maybe I phrased it poorly, as I do know howmuch work a teacher has. Then again, you cannot deny that those 2 months of holiday is something you look forward to and you'll enjoy very much.
Also, I work 40 hours a week but the extra hours I work don't get paid (they call that being flexible) and sometimes I do have to work during the evening when we having a Go Live or when something simply needs to be done.
