Summer Vacation?

In my opinion, I don’t think we need a summer vacation. I think that we should have every fourth month of the year off, with a week of school off in February, June, and October. Additional days off for government holidays would be in January, July and November. As the article “The Case Against Summer Vacation” states, some kids are underprivileged than others and their families have lower incomes which means that they will be forced to stay in most of the time because they wouldn’t have the money to go out with their friends all summer long. This would bore the kids because if you have months at a time off of school, kids aren’t just going to want to sit at home and do nothing but they’re going to be forced to if they don’t have the money to do extra activities with their friends. If they can’t go out like the rest of their buddies do, then they’ll become sad and depressed and feel bad about themselves for not being able to afford the things that their friends can. If they’re feeling this way, then what is the point of three months off in a row? You’re not going to want kids to fall into depression for a whole summer just because they’re more underprivileged then their friends.
