Children need time to develop, holidays are meant for children to refresh and play out their hearts
A child spends 3months or so for an academic term and is given like 3weeks+ for holiday,you’ll see Mumu parents still take that child that is worn out already looking for extra tutors
What will a child learn in 3 weeks that he didn’t learn in. 3 months
8 year olds are already in secondary school… doing what??
Na millennia parents sha

A lesson teacher coming home to help them revise some school work is better.

Sending kids to holiday lessons makes no sense.

Most of you will make your kids go to school till they become useless. You took them to school at age 3 and abandon them there. During long vacation you still send them to school. To do what?

Can't you spend time to bond with your kids? What exactly are they going to achieve in school during vacation? Vacation lesson only favour school owners, not you. Allow kids rest for God's sake.

If you should engage kids during long vacation then teach them skills. Enrol your kids in centres that they can learn practical computer usage, coding, programming, painting and decoration, catering, musical instruments. Let them learn martial art, how to shot guns, how to wrestle. Teach them something beyond pure academics.

If a school should organize long vacation class then it should gear towards extra curricula activities - debate, modelling, music concert, science fair, mini project. How would you call kids back to school during holiday to learn Math, English, Chemistry, Social studies, accounting, by same teachers that taught them during school period. What is the difference? If these teachers knew what to teach why didn't they do it during normal school session.

Education is beyond memorizing facts. Give your kids opportunity to develop and be better prepare for life.

You are absolutely correct!!
This is what a lot of parents don't know..
A child who is knowledgeable and intelligent doesn't need extra lesson, with all this up and down lesson the child will come home at the end of the day without any impacts..

This is one of the most educating threads I've ever come across on nairaland. A very powerful message!!!!!

We allow our kids to flex at home throughout holidays, like they're currently enjoying their third term holiday at the moment. Holiday periods are the only periods we subscribe to cable TV. During the holidays, No lesson, no Arabic class too. But they can decide on their own to read or study in the house.

ThiefnubuBandit:
Greedy private school owners always find ways to deceive parents during long holidays. What is summer lesson? Do we experience summer in Nigeria? Na mugu dey send pikin go holiday lesson.

Jewessgratitud3:
Now I know where the problem is coming from. Parents!!!!!... Allow us breath!!!!

You claim summer lessons are not important or beneficial now but tomorrow you'll go and start complaining to the schools that your wards are not doing well in their studies and threaten to withdraw them meanwhile you're here discouraging what will help the school to help your wards excel academically

Solsix:

When you born, you can decide on how to train them. Allow people who wants to send thiers for holiday lessons do.

ChiefOloye:
Anyone who doesn't agree with this no get sense

tuzle:
skills are far more expensive, maybe that is why parent dont do that.

Well, let the child go and do Nwa boy and learnt the skill.

Teaches the child life lesson

Solsix:

My kids will attend every available lessons. I am teacher and I know the importance.

This is the problem of Nigerians.

All work and no play
