Snoopy354 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 Yea... for the people who live in Holland (like me...), you know what you talking about... Because I only have 6-7 weeks vacation on the summer.... One of the shortest vacation in the world I read once in a magazine... Where I was born, in Portugal we had almost 3 moths summer vacation.. then I come here and I only get 6 weeks of it... not even two months! And about 2 months ago I saw an article saying that in France they were going to make the holidays longer!!! I was about to shoot myself for that....So.... Post your comment about holidays and how long they should be Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plenoptic 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 Ya well you also gain more knowledge and I'm sure you have a different grade level system so you'll actually go to college in less time. People in Japan go to school all year long with like a 2 week break every quarter. They are smarter though and they learn everything rather young and it comes easier Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
husker 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 Japense people know EVERYTHING lol. That stinks. Maybe you don't get as much homework at night as us or something. You could consider yourself smarter than all of us! Holland must really value education. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinari 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2006 Yeah. While Missouri is shortening our school year as the years go on. We have abotu 4 months and I would say that e have fine educations thank you. The Japanese know more because they are taught to respect their teachers and we mouth off and then don't pay attention because we're annoyed. I think four months may be a bit much, but I think that 3 months is a good amount. 6 weeks is pretty short, I guess you'll just have to enjoy what you get....

savge17 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2006 In my opinion they should be long enough to where people have a good time. I dont think they should be too long like 4 weeks but more around 2-3 weeks. This give people more time to spend with their families and friends. And with good memories comes hard work. If people have a crumy time they are less likely to work hard and they will become more unhappy. This is just my opinion though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
