Common in my area
By Cathy-Dee

We have quite a few doctors and other professionals in our area who cannot take holidays during the summer months so they take their holidays often around January-Febuary. Many are from South-Africa and this trip is the
only time the children see their grandparents and other relatives and it is important to them.
I have learned over the years to not send tons of homework as it won't get done. Instead I concentrate on math, reading and writing. For reading I will send a reader or two and for writing I ask them to keep a journal. So the only worksheets would be for math.
For shorter holidays I usually

just encourage a lot of reading and the writing in a journal.
