Dear Readers,

Please check out our new Opinion Poll on whether small or large schools are better, and cast your vote by the end of July 2018. As you know …

your opinion counts

Our June 2018 poll was about whether schools should stay open during summer:

Should schools be open all year round, with no summer break?

Yes. During summer breaks children often forget a lot of what they learnt. Instead schools can give short breaks throughout the year, instead of a long break during summer. (11%, 5 Votes)

No. Summer vacation is necessary, because it allows children to relax after working hard all year round. (89%, 42 Votes)

Result:
Most of the respondents voted to keep the long summer break. The majority of the voters (89%) felt that summer vacations are necessary because they allow children to take a long break from academics. Only 11% of the voters felt that schools should stay open throughout the year, because children forget what they have learnt after a long break.

Our May 2018 poll was about whether television is good or bad for children:

Is watching television bad for children?

Yes. Watching TV is a sedentary activity that eats into children’s leisure time in which they could be active. TV also encourages children to consume junk food leading to health problems. (16%,6 Votes)

No. There is lots of good programming on television that can be educational. Parents can monitor what their children are watching and so TV can also help families spend time together. (84%, 32 Votes)

Result:
Most of the respondents believe that watching TV can be good for children, especially since there is a lot of educational programming that they can learn from. Some 84% of the respondents felt that TV is beneficial for children because it also offers educational programming and allows parents to spend time with children, when they watch TV shows together. 16% of the respondents to the poll feel that TV discourages physical activity and encourages unhealthy eating habits.

Our April 2018 poll was about whether Sports Day should be Competitive:

Should a school’s Sports Day be non-competitive?

Yes. Sports Day should be fun. Children remember positive and negative feelings associated with sport, and ‘public failure’ can put them off doing sport. (86%, 42 Votes Votes)

No. Sports Day should be competitive because life is competitive, and children have to learn to lose as well as win. (14%, 7 Votes Votes)

Result:
The respondents voted overwhelmingly in support of making Sports Day non-competitive. Eighty-six percent (86%) of those who responded to the poll felt that children tend to remember the feelings associated with sport, and if they fail ‘publicly’ at Sports Day, it can put them off sport altogether. Only 14% of the respondents felt that Sports Day should be competitive, because it reflects life, where individuals have to get used to both winning and losing.

Our December 2017 poll was about whether timed testing is useful::

Is timed testing useful?

Yes. Timed tests teach students to manage time, because there are real deadlines in life and real consequences if you miss them. (85%, 63 Votes Votes)

No. Timed testing can cause anxiety and tension in some children, which interferes with learning and remembering facts and skills. (15%, 11 Votes Votes)

Result:
A large majority of the respondents (85%) felt that timed testing is a useful tool because it teaches students’ valuable life skills such as working towards a deadline and understanding that there are consequences for not doing so. Some 15% of the respondents felt that timed tests are not useful, because they can trigger anxiety and make it difficult for students to remember facts and skills.
