Maximizing School Breaks with Beneficial Activities |
|
|
School breaks are highly anticipated by both elementary and high school
students. They no longer have to follow a daily routine that requires them to
wake up early and prepare for school. Instead, they have the freedom to plan
their daily schedule differently compared to a normal school day. However, the
saying "time is gold" applies here. Parents and older siblings should guide
their younger family members to maximize their school breaks with beneficial
activities.
Ways to maximize school breaks for students include traveling domestically or
abroad. The primary objective of school breaks is to provide rest for students
and especially teachers who have been working hard for weeks to deliver the best
in teaching and learning. Thus, school breaks are a time for them to relax and
spend time with their loved ones. Traveling can redirect students' attention,
especially those who will be taking public exams, to more enjoyable activities
like swimming at the beach or visiting waterfalls. For elementary school
students, there are many interesting and beneficial tourist destinations such as
museums, science centers, and zoos. Therefore, parents can plan their budget
according to their capabilities and bring their children to new places during
school breaks.
Another way to maximize school breaks is through community service such as
cleaning the house and surrounding areas. Nowadays, parents in the family have
careers or need to work to support themselves and their families. As a result,
household chores are sometimes neglected due to time constraints and exhaustion
after work. Thus, as a way of repaying their parents' hard work and effort,
children should help with housework such as mopping the floor, cleaning windows
and fans, and organizing clothing. At first, parents may find it difficult to
teach their children to do household chores because they are distracted by their
phones and gadgets. But, if not their parents, who else will teach them to be
self-sufficient and disciplined before they become adults? As the saying goes,
"Little by little, a long way becomes a mountain." Start teaching children easy
household chores and gradually increase their skills. The results will surely
benefit both parents and students.
In reality, there are many activities that students can participate in during
school breaks that can bring benefits to the students. Some of these include
attending self-motivation camps or religious activities. |
