Is Spring Break Really Necessary?

Is Spring Break really necessary? You bet it is! In fact, more teachers than students are counting down the days to Spring Break! In my 'neck of the woods' Spring Break season is upon us. The robins are filling yards. Daffodils are popping up in unexpected places. Thunderstorms are rolling across night skies. Parks are filling up with laughing children and relaxed adults.

Why is Spring Break so important and so cherished?  Well... funny you should ask!

Spring Break is:
- a time to breath.
- a time to sleep in. No alarms, thank you very much!
- a time to see what the rest of the world is up to.
- a time to talk to family and friends. Reconnect.
- a time to wear your stay-at-home clothes.
- a time to buy groceries while it is still daylight.
- a time to eat sitting down.
- a time to finish a good book, see a movie, or catch up on a favorite program.
- a time to forget (yes, I said forget) school.
- my last mental vacation before the last semester.

Just try to take away my Spring Break and see how quickly my smile fades. See how quickly I become irritable and downright hostile.  Those complainers that argue that teachers shouldn't have a  week off with pay don't know that I've already worked multiple 70 hour weeks. They are probably the same people that think I don't deserve summers off (let's not even go there!).  Spring Break is a time honored tradition.  Time when I can be a kid again! So... is Spring Break necessary? Absolutely. If you want me to function at an optimum, sane, level of expertise... then definitely YES!

Enjoy!
