7. School
holidays
Holidays - period, free from study or
basic activities (including homework).
There are school holidays and student
vacations, parliamentary, and so on. D.
In contrast to the holiday provided by
each worker individually defined
terms, is called a vacation holiday,
provided all relevant contingent
(pupils, students, members of
parliament, and so on) at the same
time
School holidays (also referred to
as vacations, breaks, and recess) are
the periods during which schools are
closed. The dates and periods of
school holidays vary considerably
throughout the world, and there is
usually some variation even within the
same jurisdiction. Governments often
legislate on the total number of school
days for state schools. The holidays
given below apply to primary and
secondary education. Teaching
sessions (terms or semesters) in
tertiary education are usually shorter.
My kids are
back in school.
I’ll need a
couple of days
to process my
devastation.
For continue
education need
a break which is
called holidays.
School holidays
are here!
I love to teach,
but I love the
school holidays
more.
The Latin name for the star Sirius -
"Vacation" - means "little dog"; Roman
Senate declared days of rest during the
hottest summer time when the star
appeared in the morning sky; hence
the word "vacation". In Spanish, there
is also a word canícula (vacation) and
is translated as "time to the summer
heat," which falls in the middle of July
and all of August and is a harbinger of
rest.
Every summer has its own
story.
8. History
Education was very important to the
Ancient Romans. The rich people in
Ancient Rome put a great deal of faith
in education. While the poor in
Ancient Rome did not receive a formal
education, many still learned to read
and write. Children from rich families,
however, were well schooled and were
taught by a private tutor at home or
went to what we would recognise as
schools. In general, schools as we
would recognise them, were for boys
only. Also, Roman schools were rarely
an individual building but an extension
of a shop – separated from the crowd
by a mere curtain!
Learning in Roman schools was based
on fear. Boys were beaten for the
slightest offence as a belief existed
that a boy would learn correctly and
accurately if he feared being caned if
he got something wrong. For boys who
continued to get things wrong, some
schools had a policy of having pupils
held down by two slaves while his
tutor beat him with a leather whip.
There was not a great deal of subject choice in
a Roman school. Therefore a boredom
threshold must have been quickly reached by
children. This must have been made worse, by
the fact that the school day was longer than
children now are used to. It seems likely that
during the school day, a child would rise at
sunrise (not wanting to be late as this would
lead to a caning), work all day with a short
break at lunch, and then home to be in bed by
sunset for the next day. Lessons were simply
learned by heart. Children did not need to
know why something was right – only to know
that it was right and that they would escape a
beating. Lessons were also simply dictated as
there were no books as they were simply too
expensive
There were two types of schools in
Ancient Rome. The first type of school was for
younger children aged up to 11 or 12 where
they learned to read and write and to do basic
mathematics. At these schools, children
worked on an abacus to learn basic
mathematics. For writing, they used a stylus
and a wax tablet. Older children would go to
more advanced schools where they did
specific studies on topics such as public
speaking. They would also study the writings
of the great intellects of Ancient Rome such as
Cicero. Girls rarely went to these schools as
they were allowed to get married at the age of
12 whereas boys had to wait until they were
14 to get married.
Children worked a seven-day week –
there was no break for the weekend!
However, this was not as dire as it
appears. There were many school
holidays – religious holidays (and there
were many of them) meant that
children did not have to go to school.
Market days also resulted in school
closures and children also had a
summer holiday!
In general, girls did not go to school.
Girls from rich families did receive an
education, but this was done at home.
Here they were taught how to run a
good household and how to be a good
wife in general – in preparation for the
time they got married. Part of their
education would have been music,
sewing and the competent running of
a kitchen.
For boys, practice made perfect. They
were not allowed to write on what we
would consider to be paper as it was
very expensive. Boys first practised on
a wax tablet. Only when they had
shown that they could write well, were
they allowed to write on paper – which
was made on the Ancient Egyptian
method of papyrus reeds. Their ‘pens’
were quills and their ink was a mixture
of gum, soot and, sometimes, the ink
from an octopus.

Tatiana V.
Koshevenko
The tans will fade.
But the memories will last
forever.
I'm happy that I’m a teacher;
I enjoy each lesson I teach.
As my role model I inspire my pupils
To dream and to work and to reach.
With my kindness they get my attention;
Every day I am planting a seed
Of curiosity and motivation
To know and to grow and succeed.
I help them fulfill their potential;
They’re thankful for all that I've done.
They admire me each day, and they want to say,
As a teacher, I’m number one!
