Hello girl ! I think there's no specific answer for your question. Have or not homework in the holidays and vacations, doesn´t have a relation only with the country where you come from or only with your culture. It depends of other things too. For example: I live in Brazil, here we have 2 vacation periods. We have vacations at the middle of the year (july to august), and vacations at the end of the year until the next year (december to february), when we start a new grade year. In the most of the schools here, if you're going bad in your classes and vacations are coming, you're supposed to have to do extra homework during vacations, this is a chance to get better class notes, and be analyzed again. This is named something like' recoveration time'. If you fail in the recoveration time at the vacations in the middle of the year, you have the next months to recover, until the vacations in the end of the year. And when the vacations in the end of the year comes, if you still going bad, depending of your situation, if it's not so bad, you get another chance to do extra homework again. This is the final recoveration time, you can be approved or not. And about the holidays, it´s just like a normal day, you stay at home, but if you have some unfinished homework to do, you just do it. If you don´t, you enjoy your day ! xD So, I think this doesn't have relation with specific countries or cultures. It depends of the teaching methodology that your school and teachers have, and depends if you're going good or bad in your classes. I hope this help you, and hope you understand my english. =)

not here in our country... students freely enjoy their vacation in absence of any class-related matters... cool, isn't it? (by the way, I don't find your question stupid at all...) :)
