To feel rage

[Willabywallaby]

when people talk about the children being on half term.

They've just finished one term, so it's not half it's end of term.

OP - I don't like it either (she says in a very small voice). It's the Easter holidays, that's what it is.

Yabu. Crikey.

And this gives you actual rage?

Is there an ouch in your pouch?

Who gives a fuck!
Yay it's half term!

Yes iklboo, it's making me grumpy, it's making me grouch.

its half term in my house. you sound bonkers op.

Its not half term though, in the same way that December is not April and Summer is not Winter. Half term marks the half way point of each term, Easter is between terms.

I also get the rage when people say 'June Time' in the same way they would say 'Winter Time'.

Wow, that gives you the rage....

Get A Life.

Are you one of the children currently on half term school hols?

Mrs Kermit - if you're neither at school yourself, nor have anyone you know who is at school, it can be a bit tricky to keep up with what is half term or end of term (or indeed, Inset days and teachers' strike days)

Also, Mrs Kermit (I'm really not normally pedantic about such things) but I have to point out that seasons do not begin with a capital letter. Seasons are spring, summer, autumn and winter, not Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

Thank goodness I paid attention whilst I was actually at school, whatever the season or term.

Not sure about the rage part.

But it is the Easter holidays here. Not half term.

We had mid term in February - which was mid way way between Christmas and Easter holidays

*It is halfway through a long term though. Easter is not half term. Halfterm is halfway between Easter and the summer hols.

No need for rage *

But it's not. There are three terms. Autumn; September to Christmas, Spring; Christmas to Easter and Summer; Easter to July. The one week break in the middle of each term are the half term holidays.
This is the Easter holiday because it has Easter in it. Just like the Christmas holiday has Christmas in it and the summer holiday has the summer in it.

Still, although I find it slightly annoying, I don't care what people call it really.

It's half term in our house

How can it be? Half term is half way through the term. That happened in February. Term 2 has come to an end. Term 3 will start just after Easter. It's the school holidays.

Ikaboo beat me too it

Nice reading aloud book isn't it?
