All schools, primary and Secondary have a two day weekend. And a five day school day.
In my opinion firstly I would like to state that,that is not a long enough weekend. I think the school principal and government should also think about other things. Not only education, as a kids whole life doesn’t revolve around school.
Kids need to socialise, do after school activities and spend quality time with their parents.
But how can they do that if the weekend is only two days long?
My personal opinion on this
Personally I think school days should be the same amount as weekend. So that then there’s balance. I honestly think that a two day weekend but five day school days are completely bizarre. Spending quality time with your parents,friends or family is extremely important. Keeping friendships and just in general having a fun time with your parents will be useful when your older. But how can kids do this if both their parents and them are in work or school most of the time.
I honestly think work and school should be a lot less a huge part of our lives, as at the end of the day the people who surround us and are with us through everything matter the most.
How long should secondary school days be?
Schools encourage kids to do extracurriculars but they don’t realise kids also have to study,do homework etc.
How can a child to their homework,do a extracurricular activity and study or maybe socialise if they come at 3.45? Some parents also want to maybe take their kids on maybe a walk but if the walk is 2 hours minimum, it’s already 6pm.
I think it’s important for kids to socialise other places then school but again there’s barely any time for that.
What about if the parets are working?
This is another topic I would like to add onto this article. You see if the kid has time to have quality time with their parent but their parents are working how will it work out? This is why I also think that both school and work should be half of the week and the other half should be the weekend.
Maybe work and school from Monday to Thursday or Wednesday and the rest the weekend? I just think spending time with people around us is important.
Wind down time
I think work and school have a very big influence on our mental health. Some people let work or school take up their whole lives. That’s when it get unhealthy,when you spend a extreme amount of time on it,don’t socialise or have any time for yourself.
Yourself time is very important or wind down time, when you have a break from work or school and just do things you love. Or just rest, I think it really helps improve our self being.
Maybe draw,or have a bubble bath. Or if socialising is what makes you relax and have you time. Go to a cafe with your friends.
I just think we all need some break from school or work for ourselves from time to time. But remember this can’t be too often or else it’s just simply called being lazy!
