Here most of the schools are closed for summer vacation, my younger son’s school too. Now I have a bundle of holiday home works which I have to sort out and collect information from net. It is a big burden actually. He will do but he needs my assistance to collect all these. Then I have to buy scrap books, colour pages, chart paper, writing sheets etc.
Another burden is school is closed without dong its term exams. That will start once the school is reopened. So there won’t be any fun for children for sure. Parents too will be tensed for preparing their exams.
For parents, Have your children on summer vacation?
Others – in your place – schools closed for summer break?
Do you think any advantage is there to giving a lot of projects works on vacation?

I am against 15 teachers giving a load of homework and projects...holiday is supposed to be a break. But as a teacher, when students return without homework , they do not even do a basic revision and this is a tremendous setback in the classroom.

@Gita17112016 He started to do his home works regularly, concentrating one subject in a day.

@Sreekala Perhaps when you have a Teacher's day you can mention that the holiday's homework is too heavy. That's too much homework.
What i find, as a good practice, is to take the first two days off and do out all the homework...that way your son and you, can enjoy the rest of the holidays.

@Sreekala right on that.
there was a mini reunion of high school classmates the other day; one asked me on Facebook why i am absent and i said i do not want to be under the sun for fear of heatstroke.

we are just starting. summer break is over.
and it is cool to do some summer projects works for kids. It will make their vacation memorable and also they have something to share in the class when the start begins again.

I don't have much time to spend all these works for sure. One side it is torching summer and other side, office works, house chorus so helping children for their works at this time is not good for me. However, I have to do as a responsible mother. No escape for me.

@Sreekala well it is something to be done by family example house painting. or gardening. so children will not be spending time in the computer playing computer games.

In my place they ain't close yet, till Next month.
There is an advantage of giving projects work it will make the children to seat up. Nevertheless,all work no play makes Jack a dull boy

I have to say now that my kids are grown and I am retired, summer vacation doesn't affect me at all.

They deserved to have their vacation, it won't be a vacation if they are still doing school work.

No because in any case it's the elders who have to do them....They should get the projects done in schools
