Summer Holiday Homework Dps

[Glauco Schlembach]

Inshort: they have a life. Part-time jobs will be practically full-time over summer; they have thekind of social-life that for many a wizened teacher is a hazy memory; and thereis the obligatory holiday away with their mates somewhere sunny in theMediterranean. Something else we should perhaps consider is that they are justlikely to be tired.

Recently, I used Google sheets to compile a courseworkcalendar for September to Christmas period for the students, with Christmasbeing the hand in date for the NEA. So that this is actually achievable, thereMUST be some work set over summer, but not anything that is too intimidating.

As mid-May arrives, the heatwave and soaring temperatures are sweeping across Delhi and other parts of India. Amidst this scorching heat, the Indian Meteorological Department has been issuing alerts about heatwaves in various regions, advising people to take necessary precautions to stay safe. Additionally, considering the impact of severe temperatures and the heatwave on children's health, summer breaks from school and university are announced every year to provide some relief.

After much deliberation and back-and-forth, we realised that to start any holiday homework project, you need some basic supplies: a few scrapbooks, colourful pens, and decorative items.

During the summer break, each class was given a holiday project to research, construct and present for when they come back to school. We had many magnificent and innovative creations using recycled materials around the house. Well done for everyone taking part!

However, there is some evidence to suggest what productive out of school time might look like. Teachers who want to assign homework over extended breaks should consider individual differences of children and families and how assignments could support positive family interactions.

Although many students experience some slide in reading and math performance during the summer, it appears to be more apparent among vulnerable students who are growing up in low-income households and economically distressed communities. In fact, some argue that summer learning loss is an under-noticed culprit in closing the achievement gap. That is, most children, including struggling students, demonstrate growth in reading and writing skills during the school year.

However, their experiences during the summer can vary widely, with some children (typically more affluent students) having enriching experiences that promote and sustain learning while others do not (typically less affluent students). While the results from empirical research on this topic are mixed, positive findings have led to a proliferation of summer learning programs with proponents arguing for increased academic time out of school to ensure greater achievement in school.

Based on important findings of successful summer learning programs, to help ensure the effectiveness of homework and other learning activities, no matter what time of year they take place, parents should balance academic and recreational activities, provide high-quality interactions with children and leverage resources available with community partners to ensure success.

The move comes as a separate YouGov study finds that close to two thirds of parents with children in the same age range (64%) believe that kids should not be set summer holiday homework. Mothers are more likely to think that children should get the summer off than fathers (67% vs 50%).
