I'm so happy that we get such a long weekend! It would be good if there were only two days of school every week. Unfortunately, that's never going to happen. Not any time soon anyway. This week is an exception, so I'm trying to make full use of this long break to relax, before we return to school. Many people might think getting days off school is quite good. I think so too. However, it isn't as good as everyone believes it to be. Firstly, because of the day off, we have extra lessons to make up for the lost lessons. Secondly, The Law of Homework (something I made up...but it makes sense). The amount of homework received is always relative to how long the weekend or holiday is. In other words, for a normal weekend, we only get a little homework compared to how much we get during the June holidays (aren't holidays meant for relaxing? How are we supposed to relax with all that homework?). So by getting more days off school, the teachers actually get the chance to give us lots of homework. If we say the homework is too much, they will just say that the holiday is long enough for us to complete it. So is this what holidays are for? To sit at home and do homework all day long? To stay at home and do homework just to go to school the next day and stay back for extra lessons we missed? It sounds very wrong to me.
