Swimming lessons and drowning prevention skills are chosen by many parents for their children during the summer.
Her child has just finished 5th grade and has not had time for summer vacation, but Ms. Le Thu Huyen in Dong Hai ward ( Thanh Hoa city) has gone to centers to schedule extra classes in Literature, Math, and English for her child. According to Ms. Huyen, this is a way for her child to consolidate his knowledge and not fall behind his friends. Moreover, the family's goal and expectation is for her child to pass the entrance exam to a specialized school, if she does not take extra classes, it will be very difficult to achieve her wish.
Unlike Ms. Huyen, instead of finding a place to "cram" cultural knowledge for her children, Ms. Ly Thu Trang in Vinhomes Urban Area (Thanh Hoa City) has made a program and plan for her children to rest and have fun. In addition to taking her children to their paternal and maternal hometowns to visit grandparents and relatives, she has arranged a weekend for her children to go on a picnic to experience real life. At the same time, she has sought out addresses that teach life skills and registered her children to participate.
The pressure of studying will increase as children progress to higher grades, especially for students who transfer to higher levels, graduate from high school, take university entrance exams, enter specialized schools, and select classes. Accordingly, children's extra classes are also inevitable. Because of the dense schedule at school and at centers, many children do not have time to study at home and develop their creativity in learning. For families who let their children take extra classes 3-4 times a day, the children only take the opportunity to "fill their stomachs" with sticky rice, bread, and steamed buns to move to the next shift on time. For parents, they have to schedule pick-up and drop-off, which is costly in terms of time, effort, and money.
Implementing Official Dispatch No. 2414/BGDĐT-HSSV, dated May 16, 2025 of the Ministry of Education and Training on strengthening management, education and ensuring safety for children, pupils and students in the summer of 2025, so that they can have a beautiful summer, many schools in the province have organized practical, safe and useful activities for students. For example, at Le Loi Secondary School (Thanh Hoa City), during the year-end ceremony, the head of the Youth Union sent summer activity referral forms to all students, asking them to participate in summer activities in the locality. At the same time, the school plans to open art and sports clubs at the school, send applications to classes for students to register and open classes based on the number of registered students. In addition to the existing teachers for badminton, vocal music, MC, traditional martial arts, and modern dance, the school invites experienced teachers to teach life skills to students.
Studying is never redundant but needs to be scientific . Summer is coming, instead of creating pressure to study, cramming cultural knowledge, parents should create a playground with useful activities so that summer vacation is truly a joyful, rewarding, and wonderful time for children. From there, create energy, prepare mentally, and be comfortable before children enter the new school year.
