Kids Should Start Their Summer Holidays After They Do Their Exams
After exams we just do "filling in work" and in year 9 (age 13-14) they say they start course work. But no work you do benefits your next year

Ya i agree with "innonmen" they should not have to go back to school and also they shouldn't start school so early its taking away from the kids' summer

If the kids are just sitting idle and it's a waste of time then yes. Either that, or they should give the exams later. Having children in school in the summer time, or at least in the nice weather for no other productive reason than to fulfill the required number of days that a child spend in school is silly. Push the exams back or let them out.

By the way, i was just given a work promotion to distribute to my clients, and its a back to school promotion! They aren't even out yet, and i have back to school promotions coming at me.

I would rather go to school straight after my exams and start the next year so that the following year we take the exams earlier and have more time off. Simple

I am sure many students are voting for it because they will have less school. But think about that for a second. If summer break is following testing what are you , most likely to think about. What will your mind be focused on? Summer break. I think Summer break will be too much of a distraction for students.
