Parents of students consider that children should dedicate their free time to educational stuffs. Admittedly, it contributes benefits to studying skill, but not for children themselves. I utterly disagree with this statement and believe that students of schools need to relax from studying.
Firstly, pupils may be tired of studying and their motivation of getting more knowledge at school might disappear at all. Average student of high school or college spends at least five hours to do homework or making a project. This kind of schedule leads to stress and depression, which are unhealthy influence on students. Then the stimulus of hard work can vanish in them. That is way, despite of studying they need to do activities, which they are more interested in.
Secondly, children should focus on interests and hobbies in their spare time, such as filming vlogs, watching movies, doing sport, crafting, painting or volunteering. These types of activities help them to express their personalities and thoughts. For example, thanks to the painting they have an opportunity to demonstrate what they think about a particular subject. Doing hobbies boosts their confidence. Moreover, it reduces stress from studying. Students need to relax after a long and tough day at school.
In conclusion, I think spending time on activities, which students like is vital for them. Also, it helps them to eliminate burdens.
