I remember electing to complete the public library reading challenge every summer.
When I was kid, sometimes schoolwork was optional over the breaks, as extra credit or simply for extra enrichment. Of course, I know that teachers have good intentions, but I’d love for them to cut the kids some slack when they’ll be out of school for an extended period of time. I simply can’t comprehend why their teachers refuse to allow them to relax and take a step back from all the work their required to complete on a daily basis during the school year. So, is it fair for teachers to give out assignments over the holidays?Īs a parent of three school-age children, I become somewhat disappointed when informed that one or more of my kids is required to work on a school project during a break. Not only does homework over the holidays hang over the heads of students’, but it’s also a hardship for the parents who have to ensure their child completes the tasks the teachers have given them. Whether it’s a complicated science project, or a reading log proving they’ve put in the required hours with their noses buried in a book, children are now often burdened with having school work on their shoulders, when they should otherwise have a respite from their school duties. Sadly, the trend seems to be that students are getting assignments that they must complete during their time away from school. Gone are the days when kids could enjoy holiday breaks homework-free.
