Kids will take marijuana and commit other vices whether they are in school, at home, in church wherever. It does not matter you were teenagers once, you cant tell me its because of being in school that stopped you from taking a puff. Its parents& the kids themselves who can sit and figure out ways for the long holidays. The very reason teen pregnancies, drugs e.t.c is going up is because the parents are busy making te cash up and down and have zero time for kids and would rather pass on the buck of raising the kids to the teachers. That is why many will be up in arms against this.

At the end of the 3 months at home my kids would be counting the days to school opening for them to go and relax.

For those wondering what to do with your kids for 3 months here are a few things to consider. Watoto sio mayai.
Train your children to get out of your house.
Your house is your kingdom, you and your wife are king and queen watoto are the subjects. This is an absolute dictatorship, the parents make the decisions. This is the one place where you can have absolute control. Make the rules!!!! Have a blackboard at home and assign chores to be completed by the time you get home. Be creative. It can be anything you like from scrubbing the house clean to painting the house or just doing experiments. Tailor it to what you want your child to learn. Give them tasks that require exertion either physical or mental. Something with measurable results and let there be rewards for accomplishing them. The rewards do not have to be monetary, they can be time off or engagement in something that the child really likes but you don't approve of like playing computer games. The more your child likes something see how much you can squeeze out of him to allow him to get it. See how many hoops he is willing to jump to get what he wants. Keep raising the bar but always keep it within his reach. The idea in his head should be that he can get whatever he wants but there is always a price to pay.

Is it as long as 3 months?
I dont think so.

I don't mind the 3 months break, my issue is with the 9 months marathon academics, how will a nursery or lower class pupil handle this? By 3rd month they are already tired, bored & not excited. They need a break to unwind & refuel, otherwise they are likely to rebel at very young age.
