Many Indian schools here took winter vacations before actual winter started to join eid with christmas. They started vacations from eid instead of Christmas to help parents of all enjoy eid and christmas. But my kids now finding it very difficult to wake up for school. They simply hate going to school. What are your comments?

what logic birdie? what i said or asked confirms to best-qatar. should winter vacations be in peak winter or they should follow summer vacations to give parents and teachers some convenience? I am not worried about my kids sleep, they get it enough but still due to winter they hate to wakeup. hence I would like them to have break when it is more appropriate. Hope people get what I mean.....

and there is no logic in blablablas argument.

you make the kids sleep at 9 or 10. and if they get up at 5 , they get 7-8 hours sleep, which is not bad.

Is it the kids find it difficult to get up or the parents who get up early to make kids ready ?... LOL

Winter in Doha is at its peak from January 15th to Feb 15th. So all indian Schools should re-schedule their winter vacations.

The currrent Winter vacation from December 1st to December 31st has no meaning at all.

chilli climate.....

BBB....Children need fine tuning, once their timing will set again in a week time then correct cycle will follow.

blablabla, i had written that coz of this utter cold temperature kids r bit reluctant to wake up..Kindly read my post again..Its not even with the children but it happens to adults as well..We feel bit lethargic during winter..So its natural, the kids will feel same..

My daughter is still small to go for school..But i can understand ur problem..Noone can force schools to go as per one's own wish..School authorities r fully responsible towards their children..So evenif i want to justify my stand on vacation,its not gonna to sort out the problem..

soniya, you didn't understand my post. I didn't take the vacation as I took just a couple of months before in summer. Its not due to long vacations but due to falling temperatures kids are reluctant to wake up. Hence I feel vacations should not be disturbed to facilitate parents or teachers. Do you justify taking vacations in advance?

hhhaaa...Buddy, don't u remember our schooling days??? we all were somewhat same like ur kids..Not wanted to wake up early after spending long vacation...Or always used to give lame excuses to the parents...WOW, WHAT A WONDERFUL THOSE DAYS WERE??

Just be calm friend..They r kids after all..They will adjust soon..Try to make them understand with ur love and not by yelling on them..It may give opposite result..It does happen with we adults as well coz of the wintery feel in DOHA from december to february-march..We too feel lazy to wake up for our office sometimes...So be chill...
