I understand that, but I still disagree with making holidays shorter. The Government are using schools as childcare because it makes parents happier.

Entirely the contrary, the Government is trying to removing regulation which means more than anything holidays will occur at different times varying from school to school, if anything that'll annoy parents as their children will be on holiday at different times.

I think the holidays are fine tbh but school days could be improved, mine is ok atm

For me its
Mon Tues Wed - 4:30pm
Thurs Fri - 3pm

I need the holidays. It just gives me time to have a bit of fun and with shorter holidays it'd be way harder to go on Holiday, as the Holiday's would be tighter, so more people would be going at once surely. I'm getting about 3 months off this Holiday, but only because it's the end of my school time at Secondary and I do think that'll be a bit of a drag, but it'll give me time to get ready for college.

I'd hate for them to reduce Holiday time though. :(

I'm the same

9 - 3:45 days (and I have to go in from 9 - 12 on saturdays) but then for that I get extra long holidays (if you add up all the holiday i get and take away the extra time spent in school on saturday/each weekday I still get weeks more holiday than everyone else per year)

and saturday is just a day of sport for me anyway (although if you're not any good at sport you have lessons :P)

Ow well, i'm not at school anymore.

Good Luck for all you people who still are

it would be dreadful for me to have less holidays or longer days, by the weekends I'm completely tired enough from getting about 7 hours sleep each night if that due to having to get up like 6, let alone when half terms come each time. If schools are completing their syllabus anyway I see no reason to make it lengthier at all?

my days tbh are ok now though at least -

8;15 - 3;30

Thursdays and Mondays are basically compulsory for me to stay till 4;45 though cause of step classes lmao

sure let them have shorter holidays i dont have to care in 2 weeks*+*++

Why are they comparing Asia with Europe? It's a completely different lifestyle and cutting school holidays and making school days longer won't make anyone more hardworking.

I completely agree, only people still at school and teachers will disagree and that is fact.
