This decision did not need a "marathon meeting" - its basic common sense to keep ALL schools on an extended holiday recess!

ANGESCO I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE STATEMENT......IT MIGHT BE MARATHON IN THE SENSE THAT, SO MANY OF THEM ARE PRIVATE SCHOOL OWNERS AND OF COURSE YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES WHEN YOU PAYS A TEACHER WHEN THE PERSON IS AT HOME AND THE ISSUES OF SUSPENDING SUMMER LESSON THAT COULD ALSO GENERATE MONEY TO THEIR COFFERS....GOVERNMENT HAVE TO DIALOGUE AND PERSUADE WITH THEM TO SEE GENUINE REASON OF DOING SO.......GUESS THAT IS IS WHERE THE WORD MARATHON COMES IN ANYWAY
