@alpacamale@social.cologne @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu totally agree with that. School is important, but it's not all. And during the year, the schedule run make parents not able to organize easily for not going into the work, eat, sleep schedule…

@alpacamale@social.cologne @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu as a Latvian I had 13. It was great actually as there is enough time to get in first work experience an earn some money. I was track runner (still am, but far slower) back then and June was the peak for track and field season for u20 and younger groups, then July for work and August for full blown rest. Sure, I lived in small village and parrents just said - at 12 be at lunch at grand parrents, 17 at home for dinner and at home when it becomes dark.

@alpacamale@social.cologne @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu As an Italian, that's primarily a necessity because schools are not equipped to hold classes during the summer, when temperatures are unbearable. As a child, I liked the idea of such a long summer break, but I think that if it were 2-4 weeks shorter, it would make it easier to maintain continuity and avoid a summer knowledge reset. The removed days could be distributed throughout the year to provide breaks during longer school periods.
