Calling all teachers – this one’s for you.
Whether you’ve been stuck behind a screen all year teaching your virtual classroom the A, B, C’s or AP calculus… Isn’t it time for a break?
We want to give you the chance to put your hectic workload on pause and take a moment to focus on yourself for a change. The past year has thrown a lot at us all, and teachers are up there with some of the one’s hit hardest by the global pandemic. From adapting last minute to virtual lesson plans and juggling extra tuition, to trying your hardest to keep students motivated, focused and exam-ready as we all work from home – it’s been a lot. A LOT.
That’s why we’re offering the chance for you, our teachers, to sign up to win a trip for two, plus flights (valued at $5000) to a dream destination of your choice. We’ll handle all the details so all you need to do is focus on relaxing, unwinding, unplugging and having the time of your life.
If you’re tired of your own lesson plan and need that escape, check out these fun alternatives. You deserve this.
HISTORY CLASS
You know the History textbook inside out. You’ve graded so many papers on early Roman civilizations that you’re starting to feel like one of them. Well, today’s History class takes you out of the classroom and into the shoes of gladiators and emperors as you tread the remarkable structures of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum… Then time to round off a day of walking in the emperors footsteps with Italian pizza and pasta galore.

MATH CLASS
Solve this: The Great Wall of China is 13,170 miles long. If you hike 10 miles in 3 and a half hours, and hike for 12 hours, what percentage of the Great Wall have you managed to complete…? Whether you love or loathe a math equation, we reckon the easiest way to solve this one is to just give it a go in person.
