@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I think mine (in the UK) were about six weeks. The really long ones were in between GCSE and A-Levels (end of the school year in which you are 16) and that ended up being really bad: that long break got everyone completely out of the habit of being in school and it took quite a long time to get back into the flow. It was somewhat similar in the long summer between finishing school and starting university, but university was a lot more self-directed and so preserving the habits of school would have been less useful.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I'm Italian and I'm used to struggle all the year looking at the light at the end of the tunnel: a whole summer without school. So I'd choose this. Moreover, it's really hot and I don't think we can ask people to go to school in July or August, we don't have air conditioning in Italian public schools.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu 14 weeks, that's crazy! Would have loved that as a kid! I don't know how it's handled in Italy, but I like the idea of giving children the opportunity to be children and also to pursue their own interests and non-curricular activities.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I believe that shorter summer breaks with breaks throughout the year is better. Now, #FinishTheJob https://finishthejob.eu/ (Also why was this post deleted, EC? You know you can edit it, right?)
