This idea is unkind. Children need to have a good holiday at the end of a busy school year. The long holidays give them time to do things they wouldn't otherwise get to do. In my family we go to Ireland and see relatives and friends during the summer vacation. And it might seem long to some people, but time flies when you're having fun.—Ruby Mullin
I have good memories of my own long summer holidays, and I love the chance to have days out with my son. I think many parents, especially single parents like me, have made job choices based on being able to have time off for the summer — and now we've done that, we don't want to see things changed.
—Viki Bantock
Having worked at a school that had a four-week summer break instead of the usual six, I'd say longer holidays are better. Teachers are under so much stress now to get good results; most put in lots of hours in the evening and at weekends and feel very tired by the end of term. There is no progress in learning after a six-week holiday, but it only takes a few weeks for students to get back up to speed.—Marek Kaminski
A shorter summer holiday would be much better. The six-week break seems a thing for another age, when mothers didn't work and your mum lived round the corner to give you a hand. If I was able to take a six-week holiday, great, I'd love it — but in the real world that isn't possible. Instead, I end up spending around £600 on childcare for each week when I'm working.—Nachelle Crowther
