Goodness, I feel as if teachers love to torture us, seriously.
I mean you were pounded with work during school so you'd think that your break would live up to it's meaning : a period of rest from school.
Wrong! Instead your break lives up to the oxymoron: vacation work.
So, I speak for students in general (not me in particular).
my reasons!
1. Work signifies stress. Don't teachers want us to do well in school? Stressing us out only makes us do worse.
2. If there's so much work over break, why don't we just stay in school? It's the same thing except the work is done at home, not school.
3. Most people half-heartedly do it, anyway. They don't put their full heart into it. (I know I'm not with mine xD)
4. Most people wait until the day before break is over, so forget it being done to the best of our ability. PROCRASTINATION!
5. Why should the students who care the most about their education still have to do work anyway? Exactly. They shouldn't.
6. Family time is sooo much more important during the holidays. It's sad when you can't spend time with the fam because of the overload of work you have to do.
7. Students have lives out of school. Most teachers seem to forget this.
8. Countries that assign more homework don’t outperform those with less homework. It's a study! - link
9. We need rest :)
10. Students need time to do those, pointless, useless things on the internet that we normally don't have time for when school is in session.
11. This isn't really a reason, but all of the freaken above :)
