As a student, I know there are advantages and disadvantages on both sides. In my opinion, students should have one long vacation since a long vacation provide more merits than several short ones do.
We all need to take a break when we feel tired for studying. School days are not always pressing; we can find some breaks during school days. Short vacations are somehow like bigger breaks. In a contrast, a long vacation is not replaceable. We can have a great plan like a long-distance travel abroad; we can plan to do things without bothering about midterms or quizzes; we can have a long rest. A long vacation makes me more satisfied.
Consider about learning, a long vacation is more effective than several short vacations. Some short vacations throughout the year may cause interruptions to study. A long vacation after an academic year makes study more complete. Students can devote to study instead of waiting several short vacations. A long vacation means a complete academic year, an economic learning.
I can realize the advantages that a long vacation can provide because I experienced. I remember every long vacation that I ever had and what I done. But I do not remember any short vacations. Having long vacations makes my memory rich. I think students should have long vacations!
