No one can work continually for a year. Every person needs a break to reduce stress of working, to recharge his or her energy, and to re-learn other interesting things. Students need it as well. To my mind, I believe that students will get more benefit if they have a several short vacation throughout the year than one long vacation each year.
Normally children or teenagers, Students have less ability to deal with stress than adult persons do. Because of those we prefer giving them several short vacations, giving them more rest from reducing stress of studying. It ‘s the same reason why almost teachers break the exam in two, midterm test and final test, to reduce students’ stress. That’s why One long vacation means long times students must be in stress but several short vacations mean several times they relax
Like small capacity batteries, Students need more often time to recharge their energy than older people, larger capacity batteries, who still need one summer break each year Although they have a vacation on their weekend. Not merely one vacation is not enough for Students but also very long vacation make them bored. After they fulfill their energy, they don’t need to rest and be recharged any more. That is the reason why one long vacation is almost one boring vacation for students and several short vacations throughout the years is the best.
Learning or Doing other new interesting activities, such as painting, music, computers, or travelling up country interest students to spend their vacation in those, no matter what it is one long or several short vacation. However, As same as study at school, those activities can make students tied and bored if they do them for long times in long vacation. Thus a good rest from learning is doing such activity for a proper time and a good rest from doing such activity is studying as well. Then several short vacations are proper for students to learning or doing new thing.
I think whether one long vacation or several short vacations is not a serious problems but the most important thing is how long and often those Vacation should be. However all in all, several short vacations throughout the year is better for students for all reasons.
