In contemporary times, there has been a debate going on about  whether school going students should get long breaks from school, or  brief ones frequently. I will elucidate both the views and share a justified opinion. 

To embark upon discussion, short breaks at frequent intervals of time can help in keeping the mind of children relaxed and rejuvenated throughout the year. They do not feel burdened and also  brave the pressure of studies effectively. This helps in replenishing their energy levels, and makes them go to school with enthusiasm since they do not find their daily routine monotonous, and can also participate in extracurricular activities such as drawing, side by side, without disconnecting themselves from their studies. 

Having said that, some are in favor of long holidays: as per them, this can aid students in  accompanying their families to far-off locations and destinations, and break the mundane of their daily engagement of traveling from home to school and back, and also within their city,letting them earn pleasant experiences and expanding their horizons. They can also use this time to develop skills in other academic and non-academic domains. For instance, in long breaks the children opt for classes of recreational  activities of their choice: dance, singing and sports, to name a few, this helps build their talent which they can also opt for as a profession as adults. Besides this, this can also render them an opportunity to go and meet their relatives and cousins and spend quality time with them, strengthening their bonds as a result.   

In hindsight, even though both kinds of holiday breaks are useful, I opine the long term breaks offer more since these enable youngsters to broaden their horizons and also strengthen their bonds.
