Some people think that several short holidays from school are better, while others think one long summer holiday for the year is better for children. Discuss both views and include your own opinion and relevant examples from your experience.

It is often argued that a longer

summer

break in

school

is more beneficial for

children

than various shorter ones;

while

there are many who claim

otherwise

including myself. In

this

essay, I will discuss both views in detail and provide my personal opinion

at the end

.

To begin

with, the young can participate in more tasks during a long

summer

break. My

school

was closed for a month during the

summer

and during those thirty days, I used to plenty of activities

such

as swimming, piano, art or dance lessons; all of which are highly beneficial for

children

's growth.

Also

, studies have shown that a longer holiday causes

children

to relax properly in comparison to shorter terms.

For instance

, it used to take my infant body at least a week to completely rest before it started becoming active again. So it seems logical to make vacations more than a week.

On the other hand

, it is

also

possible to argue that schools should employ smaller frequent holidays for

children

instead

.

First,

shorter breaks encourage

children

to remain active and return to

school

with a positive attitude. To illustrate, my friends used to sleep late as a child when there were no classes and

then

struggled to wake up early.

Thus

, it was easier for me to return to academia when the breaks were small.

Second,

shorter but frequent breaks are scientifically proven to be good for health. Scientists claim that it is important to refresh in intervals as opposed to one long break.

This

way the brain and the body are kept healthier and stronger.

To conclude

,

although

there are valid grounds for both views

as a result

of the aforementioned discussion; I think the benefits of a long

summer

break outweigh the benefits of a shorter holiday. When I was a child, I certainly enjoyed my

school

being closed for a long period of time at once.
