Why Should Weekends Be Longer?

Weekends need to be longer for students, teachers, parents, and even animals. With weekends longer I think everyone would be happier. Here’s why.

Students need more than two days off. We get tired during the week and with only two days off we can’t regain our strength to go back to school with full energy after completing our homework and projects. Even with one extra day off the students will get enough rest to be ready to get back into the routine of waking up and going to school.

Family time is very important. We must spend time with not only our parents, but also with grandparents as we learn so many things from their experience. Helping mother in preparing food or in shopping at the supermarket makes her happy.

Teachers need breaks too. For teachers it’s hard to juggle all the paper work, computers and their own children. But, with one extra day off I think it would be easier for them to catch up with their work, relax at home and come back fresh to school.

Now, with the parents it’s another situation. Some adults only get Friday off and some parents get two days off. More off days are preferred because they get to spend more quality time with their kids, which is good for all members of the family.

Even with animals it’s better. Most pets need attention, and with an extra day with owners there’s a better chance that they won’t go crazy. This one day can help everyone out, even our beloved furry friends.

In conclusion, having just that one day off can help everyone including students with their sleep, teachers with their stress, parents and their relationship with their children, and even pets and their desire for attention. As you can see with just one day, everyone will be happier in life.

Nowadays, each and every member in the family is working, hence, we hardly get time to sit and laugh together.

True, life must not be counted in the years we lived, but more on the moments we enjoyed.
