Summer vacation
Summer vacation (also called summer holiday or summer break) is a school holiday in summer between school years and the longest break in the school year. Students and instructors are off school typically between 6 and 14 weeks, depending on the country and district. In America, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Lithuania and Russia, summer holidays are normally three months, compared to six to eight weeks in Australia, Britain, The Netherlands, Canada, and Germany.
==Criticisms and support==
Some countries only get six weeks or two months summer vacation because students supposedly forget large amounts of information learned in the past year (''See: Summer learning loss'').〔(History of the Summer Vacation )〕〔Johns Hopkins University, Center for Summer Learning, (Summer Learning Fact Sheet: Doesn't Every Child Deserve a Memorable Summer? )〕
Other education reformers believed that children were overstimulated in a system which required 48 weeks of schooling. They believe that over-schooling could lead to nervous disorders, depression, insanity, and separation anxiety towards families.〔(Time Magazine A Brief History Of: Summer Vacation )〕 They believe that children need the 2–3 months off to relax and also to take a break from other childhood stresses associated with school such as peer pressure, cliques, bullying, and the pressure of heavy loads of homework.
Some critics of summer vacation point out that American students spend approximately 180 days (26 weeks) per year in school, but Asian students are "in school for 240 to 250 days". This is consistent with the conclusions of researchers〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Outliers: The Story of Success )〕 who suggest that advanced abilities are in proportion to the time spent learning. Summer holidays in Japan last from late July until early September.
