Wifey too is a teacher. As is sis and mum and dad were too.
She'd be very unlikely to get it off, I imagine, as heads can be bastards like that, especially now many schools are swapping to academies and are effectively self-managed and financed now. What Will says is true re: getting a supply teacher in.
Yes, they get a lot of time off, but it's set time off, so less flexibility and they get screwed completely as holidays away cost around twice as much as at other times.
Also, re: the kids thing: however petty and childish you think your work environment it, it is not as petty and childish as working with other teachers, who are supposed to teach the kids not to be petty and childish but proceed to lead by unexample.
