As the holiday season approaches, students eagerly anticipate a break from their daily school routine.

However, for many students, the thought of homework during holidays looms over their heads. The
debate over whether or not students should be given homework during holidays has been ongoing
for years. While some argue that it is necessary for academic success, others believe that students
deserve a break from their studies during this time. Let's take a closer look at both sides of the
argument.

The Argument for Homework During Holidays


Proponents of homework during holidays argue that it is necessary to keep students on track with
their studies. They believe that without homework, students will fall behind and struggle to catch up
when they return to school. Additionally, it is believed that homework during holidays helps students
retain the information they have learned and reinforces their understanding of the material.

Furthermore, supporters of homework during holidays argue that it helps students develop time-
management skills and prepares them for the workload they will face in higher education. They
believe that by completing assignments during their break, students will be better equipped to handle
the demands of college and future careers.

The Argument Against Homework During Holidays


On the other hand, opponents of homework during holidays argue that it is essential for students to
have a break from their studies. They believe that the holiday season is a time for students to relax,
spend time with family and friends, and recharge for the upcoming semester. Additionally, they argue
that students already have a heavy workload during the school year and deserve a break from the
constant pressure to perform academically.

Moreover, opponents of homework during holidays argue that it can have negative effects on
students' mental health. The added stress and pressure of completing assignments during their break
can lead to burnout and can take away from the joy and relaxation that the holiday season should
bring.

Our Recommendation
After considering both sides of the argument, we believe that students should not be given
homework during holidays. The holiday season is a time for students to rest, recharge, and spend
quality time with loved ones. It is essential for their mental and emotional well-being to have a break
from their studies and the constant pressure to perform academically.

holidays. In this case, we recommend seeking help from professional writing services like ⇒

help them meet their deadlines without sacrificing their holiday break.

deserve a break from their studies during this time. We urge students to prioritize their mental and
emotional well-being and seek help from reliable writing services if needed. Happy holidays!
