It is reported that the Government in our country plans to shorten the length of the school holidays in order to improve the level of education. I do not think, however, that it is a good idea.
To begin with, the only school holidays that can be shortened are summer holidays, and as we all know, it is hard to study at school during the hot weather. To add to this, summer has always been a time to relax, rest and recharge, have fun and develop our talents. During the school year we have little free time to spend on hobbies or travelling. Besides, senior school students can do some part-time jobs in order to gain basic work experience. Finally, longer summer holidays are beneficial for teachers who can use this time for their professional training and development.
However, there is an opinion that longer holidays cause school students to forget what they have been learning during the school year. But although it can be true for some students who need some extra support that they cannot find outside school, I believe that most children actually benefit academically from longer holidays as they read more, go to the library, go on trips and come back better able to learn than before.
In conclusion, studying longer days might have certain advantages, but schoolchildren need holidays long enough to rest and the benefits of this outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, I disagree with the Government's decision on lengthening the school holidays.
