I believe that we should keep the winter break the way it is. Of this moment they are 2
weeks and 2 days, or theyre going to shorten it to just 2 weeks. A longer vacation /s is better
for stress management. Statistics show that people who take vacations relax easier while
others who dont take vacations cant relax as easy. So if the breaks are longer then we would
be less stressed out. 2 weeks and 2 days is longer than just 2 weeks.
Statistics also show that people that come back from a longer vacation have a better
attitude. Who wants a bunch of students with a bad attitude? In addition if the whole family
goes vacation then everyone has a better attitude. Who wants regardless of student or adult a
bad attitude?
The more sleep a person gets the healthier a person is. So most people for work/school
get up early then would on a break. Also sleep deprivation causes stress. So when people are on
a break they tend to sleep in longer then would when off. The longer the break the more
sleeping in and being healthier. So I repeat again 2 weeks and 2 days is longer than just 2
weeks.
The opposing view is that we should only have 2 weeks of break. I veto the idea because
there is way too much evidence to the benefits of longer breaks.
