Should Spring/Easter Break be Longer?

Its hard to decide if it should be shorter or longer. I would go with Shorter. Only for the reasoning that you wont be in school longer than you have to be, not behind on school work, and still have the weekend and one day off. Studies show that when children get too many days off of school for a holiday that their brains aren't functioning the right way they should be for school. It puts students in a tough spot for getting caught up.

After break all kids wanna do is talk about what they did over break, and not focus on school work. I think breaks from school are much needed. Kids need some time away from school. Easter break and Spring break are just so close to the end of the year. There is not enough time to be missing more than 4 days of school. That gives us 4 days that we will be behind on the teachers teaching schedule. Studies show that most teachers around the world don't see the point of missing any school when Easter is on a Sunday. Teachers explain how they want the kids to be in school

  • I like the topic choice and it hasn't been done before so +5. I do think your summary could be longer. You need more of an intro paragraph to start things off. You only replid back three times so be sure to do that more frequently.

  • Yes, I think that spring break should be longer than just two days off from school because you can't really take a longer vacation in a four day break. I disagree with students because I think they need a break from sitting in class everyday learning.

  • Yes, thsi is the only time we have off ill summer so I think it should  be a little longer because everyone just wants summer to come and they are already not doing theirnhomework.I  its a holiday that we celibrated as kids more so people go out of town and visit family or just go on vacation

  • I think we should have another day added to our spring break and it helps with traveling and gathering. It is a nice break because it is the last break before the end of the school year so yes it is a rellive. I think that some students need a decent break as well.

  • I think that we should have a longer Easter break because it is a holiday and students need time off. Students should be able to travel and see their family during the break. I disagree with the teachers because students need their breaks. 

  • In my old school, we had a year round schedule where we had 2 week long breaks for things sch as Christmas or Spring. The only con is that school started in early August and ended in June. Still, I found that way of learning a lot more laid back and I spent less time trying to relearn what I did the previous year.

  • I think that schools could extend the easter break because it allows to people to even travel and see family. I think that because Easter isn't known as a very large holiday, we should still have a bit more time to spend with families. 

  • I think that Spring/Easter break should be a little longer or the same amount of days. Because sometimes students need a mental break from the stress of school and homework. A lot of families also travel over these breaks so I do not think the breaks should be any shorter.  

    • I do agree. But we would also be in school a little longer for the extra days we missed. I think it shouldn't be any longer than it has to be. 

  • I think that it should be longer because most people like to travel for Easter, and with only two days off of school it is more difficult. I think it would make more sense to just have a longer break instead of having kids miss a day or two due to traveling.
