Time to recharge
Time to prepare for the next school year or exams
Ability to work & save money
More time for social life
Daily Freedom
While summer months offer time for relaxation and opportunities to pursue fun activities there are a few cons to consider. For some students, a long break isn’t quite as blissful. Some students lack guidance or support at home to fully enjoy their summer break. Or they simply do not cope as well without the daily routine school schedules provide.
Cons of summer break:
Lack of structure & routine
No access to school counselors
Good habits slowly dwindle and are difficult to rebuild
Keep in mind that students can balance out any negatives by considering opportunities to utilize their time effectively to better their social lives, maintain academic strengths, and boost their mental health. With the help of parents and loved ones all students deserve a great summer break for successful fall!
