I teach 4th grade so I get the summer off and of course winter break for Christmas and spring break. It is nice having the breaks and I can go and do things that I want. I don’t have any children of my own but if I did I would have time to spend with them. However, as a teacher I have found that I do spend my off time “working” on lesson plans or educating myself further. Usually during my summer months off I take a “working” vacation and better myself further for my students. It works great for me being single but I bet it would still work for you as a Dad.
