I think this is a great idea because we do need longer schooldays

I would like longer holidays as well pls. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
to whoever said that school holidays should be shorter, I feel betrayed.
School must be longer
I think that the school holidays should just be shifted so we just go in winter and have the summer off ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I agree 😀
yeah it should be longer
I think it should be a way longer holiday its because I’m busy on the holidays so I get tied so please can make the holidays longer !!!!!!!!!!!!
we should change the holidays because they are to long and we only stay home because there is nothing to do on the holidays because there is nothing open so we get bored at home because of that we all get angry and anoyed

School holidays are not timed well
I think we should have 3 months of holiday 4 times a year🧏
