In your opinion, should there be school
for pupils during weekends as well?

The weekend or holiday is a concept which came up with
the observation of Sabbath as a holiday by Christians who
regard it as God’s Day. The idea is kept true to from and
so the weekend has come to stay with all nations and
countries with the exception of the Islamic countries.
There Friday is the weekend instead of Sunday. Whatever
the idea may be schools and other institutions observe
Sunday as a holiday.

Whether there should or should not be school on Sunday
is a matter of opinion. Let us first see the case for the
school working on Sunday. Most of the parents may be for
it. For parents, children at home on Sunday make life a
hell. They neither revise nor do their home work. They
make a lot of noise and there is no end to their mischief.
The parents find it difficult to concentrate on their work
because children come in the way. Hence for all these
reasons they feel that the school should work even on
Sundays.

Since education is a continuous process there need not be
a Sunday. Just as our organs work continuously, the
process of education must also be continuous. The break
upsets the course since very often no useful work is done
and when they come to school there is the feeling of
Monday blues. Rest does not mean break from work. Very
few children will be bent on any serious work during
holiday. There is a lot of idleness. Rest period in the

middle work is desirable rather than a day long of rest.
The stiffness of the limbs which goes with the long rest
can be seen with the stiffness of learning process after a
Sunday. Hence people argue schools should not work
even on Sunday.

But there are people who insist on the weekend because
people need rest after an arduous and tiring week. The
rest will refresh them, and some freedom from the frame
of time tables and discipline. It is desirable for the young
minds.

Teachers need the weekend off to do serious preparation
for the coming week. They also need some time to attend
to their personal needs. They may even engage
themselves in leisure activities in which even pupils may
take part.
