Some people believe that children are given too much free time. They feel that this time should be used to do more school work. How do you think children should spend their time free time?

Many parents argue that pupils should spend a larger proportion of their
time
 doing coursework because they have a lot of free
time
.
This
 essay disagrees with
this
 statement and will present some reasons why.
First
 and foremost, students should allocate some
time
 to extra-curricular activities.
This
 will allow them to progress in various aspects of their
life
, and
therefore
, have a better chance of succeeding in their
life
.
For example
, studies indicate that children who spend equal times
on

 school and playful activities develop better interpersonal skills, and
therefore
, have 50 percent higher chance of securing better job prospects. Apparently, spending more
time
 doing homework will not provide children an advantage, so other aspects of personal development should be considered as well. Another reason why children should be allowed to have plenty of leisure
time
 is the school-
life
 balance.
This
 means that if students cannot have adequate rest as well as playful activities, they will be exhausted over
time
, and
as a result
, they lose discipline to work on their schoolwork. Recent studies

 students who got the top-mark in their class

 that if it had not been

 enough rest they had in their free
time
 and the amount of energy they received mentally by pursuing leisure pursuits, it would not have been possible for these pupils to achieve their success.
Although
 allocating enough
time
 and energy to doing coursework is essential for achieving educational success, parents and students should value leisure pursuits as

also
 in

 itself. In conclusion, spending enough
time
 on activities other than schoolwork is essential for both personal development and a balance between education and other areas of
life
.
Therefore
, to achieve success moderation is the key.
