We should have fewer days at school

I strongly believe that we should have fewer days at school.

In my opinion we should have fewer days at school because it will benefit students, teachers and parents.  Kids want to have more fun, for example kids can learn a new hobby.  Sometimes we can remember more if we have fun while we are learning.

Another point is teachers would value time away from students, so they can think about ideas and topics that they can teach their students. Evidence shows it’s good that teachers learn as well as them teaching.

Finally both adults enjoy spending time with their children, parents could take their children farther away for a long weekend, for example going on a trip like to Auckland and going to the sky tower, Rangitoto and ice skating.

Therefore I think that fewer days of school would benefit students, teachers and parents.
