Should students have a long summer holiday or should terms be longer? All the students are eagerly waiting for the first of July, when their holidays start, enjoying this period of time until the first of September. Should they have fewer holidays? There are some advantages and disadvantages not only for the students but also for their parents. Firstly, some recent publications have demonstrated how important is for the children to be constant in their learning. Long time without reading and writing is not good for the brain. How many children spend their free time just doing nothing? Making longer the term could be a possible solution. However, shouldn’t they enjoy their free time as we did when we were younger? On the other hand, if we mixed the leisure activities with reading and writing about it, that would solve the problem. The students would learn without noticing. It would not necessary to force the students to go to the school during the summer period. To sum up, it is not a good advice to change the holiday’s period, but it is up to the parents to make it effective.
