thanks we are staying with friends near Fergus for 4 days to have a look round that area then going to the gta for the rest of the visit .my wife is a Junior kindergarten teacher here in the uk and i am a house-husband but have just completed a diploma in IT. Our children are 5 and 7 and we were wondering if you can tll us a little about the education system. What age do they attend full time, what hours are the school day, is there alot of testing of the children, do they have alot of homework? The terms seem long as they seem to stay in school from Fall until Christmas! Here the children do on average 6 week terms sometimes longer , sometimes shorter and then have a week off or at Easter and Christmas 2 weeks. In the summer they have a 6 week holiday. I can't imagine all that time with no break for the children or staff!!!!
Are there many jobs for teachers and are there many IT jobs? Sorry if we have asked this before. I have 15 years experience in teaching junior kindergarten and believe in young children learning through a play based approach. Is it the same in Canada? Sorry for all the questions and thank you in advance for all the help and guidance you can supply us with.
