[spoiler]If you disagree with me, please state why. I'd like to know what you think.[/spoiler] Seems a bit like an oxymoron, doesn't it? I don't really know about working on vacations in terms of adult life, seeing as I have no firsthand experience there, but I can tell you about schoolwork and whatnot. It's a pretty straightforward term, vacation work is work that's done in what's supposed to be your time off. Much of what's given to me often seems like busywork, purposeless work. I don't want to sound like a spoiled brat here, but it seems a little unfair to me that we as students are forced to do work after being promised a vacation for so long, where the whole point is for you to relax and have a good time with your friends. Some of my own friends this summer (and sometimes myself) have been forced to stay inside because they have mandatory assignments. I can understand maybe a few short assignments for the sake of retention, but some of it is just excessive. No one should be staying inside or missing out on a day with your friends 3 times a week (or more) consistently, because your school system (seemingly arbitrarily) tells you to do schoolwork over the summer. It really does leave me with a feeling of resentment to know that I can't go to the pool tomorrow with my best friend because he's gotta do a workbook or packet. I know that the teachers aren't to blame here, some of them even share my opinion, rather it's the school systems assigning the curriculum (correct me if I'm wrong here). There's a plethora of other things that I think are off about the school systems (in the US/ the world in general), and I could go on for quite a bit, but what's your opinion? [b]What do you think? Any teachers here on Bungie willing to weigh in on this? [/b] Ask and you shall receive, [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_ShigdalfTheShac/en/View/Profile/index?mid=3983216][b]Shigdalf the Shac[/b][/url]. TL;DR [i]What do you think about vacation work? Is it unfair or not? Do you think it's wrong? What is your opinion?[/i]
