In every summer vacations, the parents have to bear additional expenses of two-months school fees, in addition to two-months van drivers fees.
The children enjoy their summer vacation whether they live in the same city, or go out of the city, or country. But for some parents, when children stay back at home, children become nuisance for the parents to handle..
This is why the elderly and experienced parents says: "Bachey do hi acchey" (two children are more than enough).
Two months long summer vacation or little more is not uncommon around the world. Many modern countries extend vacation depending on weather, child safety, power used, traffic conditions and above all jobs and economic activity if enhanced by closing school activities. Teaching kids at school for maximum days possible is not considered a healthy method. Economic activity speeds up during school vacations due to shopping, restauranting, long travelling for visiting & small jobs elsewhere and family or social get together. There is less spread of contagious deseases and less non commercial traffic congestion on the roads which usually created by kids and teachers & parents travelling to and back to school.
Which school picture is this in sindh?
@Deendayal M.Lulla: buddy its about Sindh while in Punjab, we are expecting to have leaves starting from early june to the end of August. :)
Pathetic decision . The weather is way hot . It is cruelty to send small kids to school in such excruciating weather. Vacations should be announced from 1st June onwards .
@ deendayal, But temperatures are the same in both the countries more or less? Why so less leaves?
Lucky. What a long vacation. In India,schools reopen in the first/second week of June. I should tell children in my area,and they will be surprised to know that schools have such a long summer vacation.
