Dear editor:

I’m writing to tell you about the different attitudes towards the newly decision announced.

In June, 2009, the Education Department of Jiangsu Province made a decision that giving lessons during the summer vacation and weekends should be banned in middle and primary school.

     Many people support this decision. They think the measures based on it will ensure the students in middle and primary schools sleeping hours so that they can be energetic enough to study effectively during weekdays. Meanwhile, they have more chances for self-development. In addition, they can participate in community work, strengthening their awareness of public service.

     However, some are against it. They complain the students lack self-control to arrange their free time properly. They believe less class time may result in low grades since the present examination system hasn’t been changed. They are difficult to cope with such fierce competition without extra lessons.

Personally, the decision is quite good. Before the decision was issued, in order to get good marks in the entrance examinations, most of our weekends or holidays were taken up with extra lessons, which happened in almost all high schools. We students suffered both physically and mentally. Anyhow, we badly need a balance between study and relaxation.
