2013 School Holiday shorten?
-
Whether the holiday is long or short does not matter. Most important is teachers don’t ask the children to go back to school and start teaching next year’s syllabus.

this i totally agree. for year end holidays, kids should not have to return to school at all...teachers themselves should enjoy a break. -

I would refuse unless my child had performed really badly the previous year and it was kind of remedial. -

:goodpost:Prefer shorter school holidays. Too long a holiday the child's lazy bones grow roots already! Difficult to put them back into routine.
Look at Malaysia's school holidays I think June is 2 weeks only.
I would rather they do not rush the syllabus. Give the child more time to absorb and internalise.

For year end, 1st 2 weeks is holiday mood...then next 2 wks many travelling...last 2 wks is festive mood....

I was actually just commenting to DH that even with all the breaks and no school here and there because of this and that, both kiddos' schools are done with the entire syllabus by mid Oct. Maybe because they are still in lower primary that's why. But it kinda makes me think that since they can complete the syllabus so quickly, maybe they should flesh it out a bit more. For DD's school I think they are pretty balanced but since left with so much time, maybe can introduce small scale projects for the kids. For DS, well, I think the teacher was able to complete the syllabus because she ate into a fair bit of their music and art classes, even PE as well. :razz:
As for holidays, I prefer long stretches. I'd rather combine the 2 term breaks into the semester breaks. Find that 1 week break after the term a bit disruptive. Just when the engine finally fully cranked and running, they break, causing it to slow down somewhat. -
I think there were some adjustments, year end holidays would now start on Nov 16 instead
