Hey, my name is Glenn Quagmire and I’m 61 years old. I finished school over 40 years ago but when I saw this article I knew I had to give my opinion. I think that summer holidays aren’t too long. In fact, I think they’re too short. Kids these days are full with summer activities, visiting their family/friends or just relaxing. They get really stressed during school and their holidays should be a time to just forget about all the obligations they might have. My daughter is starting school in a couple of years and I wouldn’t like it if she only had a few weeks on her summer holidays.

Hello. My name is Jose and I'm a student at Francoperuano. At this school the summer holidays last 8 weeks. Some people think that it's too long but I don't. After months of studying, homework and waking up early we need a break. School is too stressfull. We need those 8 weeks to relax and think about something else. During the holidays there are a lot of things you can do that you don't have time for during the school year. Like sports, go camping with friends and family, travel to places you've never been before and explore, you can go do fun activities and discover new talents and passions. A lot of people think that the holidays are too long and students will forget everything they did during the school year, but there are also other things that we forget about at school that are very important, like socializing, learning things about yourself and learning how to be a good person.

Hello 123Papitarika, I would like to comment on your post. If you don´t do your homework, and you never study for your tests, then you have no right to complain. There are 24 hours in a day!!! Study!!!!!
I really don´t care if you get upset because all students are lazy and stupid. Therefore, I would not like to make them happy as they make my life miserable by taking 9 hours of my day every day. That´s why I give lots of homework and I give poor grades, I just hate them so much. When you guys go back to school, you obviously forget every single thing you have learnt.

If you think about it, summer holidays are complete and utterly useless. You don´t even need a week to "rest", so stop complaining because you know you get bored after the second week.

PSD: Stop lying, I know you don´t study in the summer...

Hello,my name is Maksim,  i am 18 years old. I am from Norway but now, i am in Poland. In my opinion,the holidays need to be more longer. I am going to tell you why.  Everybody like to travel,and i think that 3 months are not enough. My grand parents are outside of Poland,so time by time i need to come back in my country. Also,in my university we have alot of homework for the holidays and it's realy hard to do it all in 3 moths. I never get bored, i have alot of summer activites, i am always with my freinds.
We work really hard,so i think we deserve for 4 month of the holidays.

Hello I'm a student and in my opinion the summer holidays are not so long. Every student wait a while until the holidays arrive because we are tired of having to get up early to go to school or to take exams. For a percentage of people 8 weeks is a lot because they can't see their friends and they get bored but for the other part of people we think that we should have a little bit more. I understand that they get bored because they can't see their friends but they can say to go to parties or to the movies, it is not so difficult. To finish students should have 2 weeks more of vacations, so we can return happy to school.

Hey everybody, I am Mrs.Porky. I'm the school psychologist. I just learned that some kids have a biological clock that makes them wake up late and obviously go to bed late (owl), so if they go to school early they will be tired and not focused on the class. In my opinion school should start at least at nine am and finish at 3 pm.
There's a conflict between holidays: Pupils want more holidays but if holidays are longer kids will forget all the things that they learned during the year.
I think i found the solution: Kids should have just 4 weeks of summer holidays  (so they don't forget the things that they learned) but during the week they just will have 4 days of school (so they will have more free time) without counting the others holidays.

Hello, my name is Mr. Macri and I would just like to say that i think this system is the best ever because, as a teacher, why wouldn't you want to torture your students, I mean, to hell with them! I personally hate my pupils because they are SO lazy, they never do their homework, they never study for their tests, and shortening the length of their summer holidays would be the perfect way to punish them for being just so lazy and dumb.
When they come back to school after their summer holidays they forget how to write, plus everything they had learnt from the past schoolyear. Giving them two months of sleeping and watching Netflix is just stupid. They should get 3 weeks, 4 tops!

Hello my name is Pepe and I'm a 14 years old student. In my opinion, the summer holidays are a little too short because I don't really have time to see my friends and my family, especially if your family is living far away. Also, when you return to school the heat is unbearable and studying becomes more difficult. If you have divorced parents like me, it's also really hard because you have to spend one half of your summer holidays with one of your parents and the second half of the summer with the other parent. Also, we have worked really hard during the school year so we deserve a break.

Hey, im Little Pasta and im a 15 year old student at Franco Peruano school. I think the holidays should be longer because when we go back to school,it's really sunny and we get tired really quick. I think school holidays should start whenever there's like sun and should end when it gets kind of cold. Also,there's so much things we can do in the summer like , go to the beach , but summer is just once year (well kinda) but yeah you get the point. I don't usually get bored because I can see all my friends and do whatever i want without worrying about homework and exams.

Hello guys , my name is Kick and I'm 13 years old .
I study at Franco Peruano's school and I've just read about this article about the summer holidays .
For me, it won't be fair to give us shorter holidays because we work a lot during the whole year. Also, we won't have enough time for us to relax, play with our friends like my friend Gunther and  go to the beach,  I think we work too hard for exams that we deserve our holidays as they are.
In addition, many students wait until the summer to relax and have some freedom from all the stress they feel during classes and if they don't enjoy that time to relax and chill out, they won't have a fresh start,  Also, it is a good opportunity to travel and spend more time with the family because sometimes parents work hard and they only rest during summer.

In conclusion, I tink that the summer holidays would be a bit more longer to help us to refresh our mind and to be free . Goddbye and THANKSS.

I am a student and I think that summer holidays are good like that. Maybe, in my opinion, they could even be a little longer. I totally agree with Peter : if my holidays would get shorter I would get REALLY UPSET!!! It's the best part of the year!!! Why would it be shorter??? I really do not see a sense to this proposition because me and my friends can see each other in an other place than school and have fun.  I can also do things that I like and that I can't do when I'm at school and that's the coolest part of holidays.  I don't agree with Mme Dindelois because, to me, school isn't the only important thing in a child life so I find more interesting  to do things that I like who aren't necessarily useless(like running, surfing,playing piano, have fun and learning things from REAL LIFE), that knowing how to solve a math problem when I come back to school. I believe that school isn't the only way to learn and that LONG HOLIDAYS  are a opportunity to travel, meet people, know places, cultures, practice a sport, get better at things that we like, etc.etc. I think a lot of parents and many teachers look at students like totally irresponsible people and i'm not OK with that. Not all kids waste their holidays. In my free time I try to learn but obviously, like everyone, have fun, and to me that's not irresponsible at all. Not because I see my friends in the holidays or I don't study I am an irresponsible kid. I'm just using usefully and in a pleasurable way my free time.

So, I think that holidays are perfect like that!!! Leave them as they are!!!

In my opinion, summer holidays should be shorter. I am a teacher, and I know very well how difficult it is to deal with school after a long vacation. Many children do not remember anything and have many difficulties. In addition, we waste our time making them remember what we saw, instead of using this time to learn new lessons. In addition, this new pedagogically idea will help the children, because they will have less tired classes and more time for their activities. So the next day, they will be relaxed and can continue to pay attention to classes. And the most important, they will improve their performance.

Hello everyone, my name is Bobby ,I am a student and I am 14 years old. So I want to tell you what  I think about the  the length of the summer holidays. In my opinion the summer holidays we have are perfect. I dissagree with the fact they have to be shorter. We can do many things that we can't do when we are at school, like practice diferents sports or learn more languages, we can do anything we want and also we can meet new friends. And that doesn´t mean that our performance it's going to be worst. I just  think that the summer holidays are not to long or to short they are perfect and we should not change them. SUMMER HOLIDAYS ARE PERFECT JUST LIKE THEY ARE!!

Hi, I'm Dua, 42 years old mother of an only child, living in Lima, Perú. To begin with, I would say that  Lima is a place where summer isn't really  joke. I find high temperatures unquestionably dangerous for our childs. I've no doubt that working with 30º or more, is pretty comfortless, indeed. Regarding to this point, "summer" holidays aren't actually "too" long comparing to the lenght of summer here in Lima.
In addition, going to school is not easy for everyone, some live really near to it, but some others don't, which is a real problem if students have to walk a long way to school (for many different reasons) with all the heat. Kids should have the opportunity to travel, more than 3 weeks only, because travelling is not cheap and not worth if it's just for a short period of time. They should be able as well to practice some activities that, once school started, they won,t manage to do them. To sum up,  I'm totally convinced that summer holidays shouldn't be shorter.

Hi everyone, i am Genji, i am 14 years old and i am from Japan. I go to Francoperuano's school and i work also with a group of people for saving the world. I am against the thought about the holidays who some persons think they are too long. In my opinión, they're too short, because children's want so much that the holidays arrive, they're like a checkpoint all over the year that makes you dissestres yourself and chill a little bit, take some rest, hang out with your friends and family and travel all over the world, i have a brother in Japan who names Hanzo and i don't see him too often because of school or other activities in my life. Most people use to go to the beach or to a club on holidays and you know why? Francoperuano's summer holidays are on  summer, even the name says summer so i don't think that the teachers or even the principal would like to work all the day with all that heat. Students, will use that heat not for studying all the day but for refresh they're mind, clear they're souls and those things. In conclusión, i would prefer that the holidays were more long for freedom and peace. Thank you very much and i hope you to find your redemption. RYUJIN NO KEN WO KURAE!

Hello, im Peter a 16 years old scottish student who saw this article and found interesting the theme and I wanted to write my opinion. I seriously think the disminution of the holydays will get mad the studetns because is their objective, their time to chill, to travel and visit family and friends. Aside that, I think its only the get better results I dont think is moral they are going to get stressed dont use it as a excuse. If they get bored the school can stay

open for the extra curricular activities.
I will be interested of your arguments , thanks and bye.

Dear readers,  in my humble opinion as a teacher, I do not think children's holidays should be shorter. Even though coming back to school after being of for so long can be hard , kids return relaxed and happy and I don't want to take that away from them. Holidays  can be boring sometimes, and I understand the concern that parents have about their children becoming antisocial but, you should not blame it on the holidays! If your children is bored you should look an activity for him to do during the holidays, that way he would do a productive activity and won't be dead bored. From a teacher's point of view, coming back to school is hard for students and also for teachers that have to deal with noisy kids everyday. So why should we make the holidays shorter?

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, the holiday periods should be distributed as the article suggests. As a teacher, it’s very easy to notice how forgetful students are when it comes to their lessons. Most of them don’t take a single look at their lessons during the holidays and don’t do schoolwork at all. Therefore, by the end of the summer, they barely remember a thing or two. Schedules are also a problem. During the holidays, kids get used to going to sleep very late at night and waking up right before lunch. Children find it harder than usual to cope with the very early schedules and thus lack the proper attention in class.

I don't think children's summer holidays should be shortened. I work as a biology teacher, in Germany and in the school where I teach, children come back to school, after a six-week holiday, happy, relaxed and reay to start again. It's true that they may get bored the last holidays' days but to me, that's better because that way they look forward to restarting school and therefore, they are more interested by their lessons and focus. I also think that holidays shouldn't be cut because it would have an effect on children's morale : kids would feel depressed, miserable at school. In addition to this, kids need the six-week holiday to rest after the long school year.

Hello, I'm Julia. I’m, without any doubts, against this new system. Reducing short children’s holiday period might help them having better grades, but there are other ways to do so. For example, buy your kids a summer activity book. That way they won’t forget what they have been taught, it won’t be difficult for them to go back to school after the holidays and they’ll still have a six-week break! I’m a mother and even though having to drive my daughter and my son to their activities isn’t fun, picking them up at school every day isn’t fun either. If your kids get bored, sign them up for activities: it’s better than having them stressed at home because of school. I personally think teachers give too much homework so, in my opinion, a six-week summer holiday is a perfect length to relax.

Hi guys, I am Logan I  am a student and I am 14. I go to Francoperuano College  and I am from Europe. What I think about the summer holidays is that they are to short for me. And I am going to tell you why .
One of the problems are that in the vacations nearly everybody are traveling and when you try to meet your friends most of the time your busy traveling or your friends are . At the end the time passes by and you have not relaxed or had a lot of fun. Another reason is that the most thing that the we are  looking forward  are the Summer Holidays and everybody  will be grumpy if they no that they made the holidays shorter.
These are my reasons why I think the holidays need to be  longer.

In my opinion, the summer holidays should be shorter because when we start the school year,children have forgotten a part of the lessons from last year during the holidays and it's harder to resume the program. Also I think that children get bored because they have nothing to do and they miss their friends and that's why they get distracted. I believe that it could be a great idea that children redo some exercises from the last year's book, buy an exercise book or read some books from their choice but it's better to not overburd yourself for the summer holidays. I hope that my comment has pleased you.

Hi guys, I am Tania and I am 14 years old and I study in the Franco Peruano school. I actually don't have any problem with the length of the summer holidays but if I had to choise, I will prefer  to have shorter ones because I forgot the most of the lessons that I learned in the  school and I miss my friends and sometimes in my house I get very bored. I was already excited to start school I think that if we start the school earlier we should end it earlier too. As I am talking about  school, I want to say that I will prefer the days to be shorter in summer because of the sun. Hope you like my opinion guys :)
