Parents of school-age chil- dren generally think the school year should be longer, accord- ing to a survey taken by a Times reporter Thursday. Many of those interviewed thought that the two months' holiday made children bored and restless. A question put to the par- ents -- "Do you think the sum- mer holidays are too long? Would you favor a longer school year? MRS, STANLEY DAVIDSON, 101 Oshawa boulevard south, a housewife and mother of 2 school age child, said: "I think children are off school long enough. They tire of having one big playtime and after a while begin to miss their school in- terests." She added her daugh- ter was ready to go back to school anytime now. MRS, KENNETH CONNORS, 135 Eastlawn street, a house- wife and mother of two school age children, said: "The children could do with a longer holiday. It is still very warm and pleasant during the month of September and the kids should be enjoying the warm weather instead of being in a classroom. It would be better to give the kids a longer holi- day and cram the school year into nine months instead of 10." MRS, WILLIAM BRADBURY, 396 Athol street east, a '1ouse- wife and grandmother of two school age children, stated: "I think the children are ready to go back to school about this time of year. After being off school for a while, they become restless and bored making it difffcult for mothers to keep them amused. JAMES ZAMBONELLI, 322 Oshawa boulevard south, a clerk and father of two school age children, told the reporter he thought the children de- served the two months holiday "They should have three at Longer School Year Favored months of holiday time during the warm weather," he said. "Their carefree school days will be over soon enough and they will have to join the hectic work-a-day world of adults. Let them enjoy themselves while they can." "Summer holidays should be shorter because the children tend to become restless and bored after a_ long holiday period," said Mrs: Robertson Carmichael, 91 Elgin street west, a housewife and mother of two school age children. "The children. could do with a big- ger break between Christmas and Easter with their summer holidays being shortened to six weeks. After this time, they vol ready for school," ske_ said. H. GRILLS, Brooklin, a trans- port driver and father of a teenage son, said: '"'One month of vacation is sufficient. There are too many holidays as it is and the children have tvo much time on their hands. The kids, today, out of school don't know what to do with themselves." SCOTTY SMITH, 134 Thick- son road north, a bus driver and father of two school age children, was in favor cf a longer school year. "It would help keep the chil- dren off the streets," he said. "There are no recreational fa- cilities in the area where I live. It's education the children need not holidays. Recalling his own school days, he said, "In Scotland we had 7% weeks of vacation throughout the en- tire school year, including Christmas and Easter." GORDON SLOAN, 370 Lake- shore. road, retired and grand. father of five school age chil- - dren, stated: "Children should be satisfied with the holiday time they do have. It is more than I ever had. when I was a lad. At that time holidays lasted for approximately six weeks. Education is more im- portant than play.'
