From the standpoint of someone who was very bust all throughout high school, I definently would have appreciated the break from homework. However, always having homework to do keeps you motivated and hopefully keeps your mind on school. I think that officially restricting teachers from giving students homework over break, only encourages students to lose motivation for school, and see homework as a trivial thing. If they don't have to do it over break, why should they have to duriing the rest of the year? Part of being in school is working hard. Students can get all the break they need during the summer. Just my opinion.
