Today is Saturday but unfortunately it is a schooling day. It's been like this the last couple of years...masyarakat penyayang?? Each time we have a festive season, then there is this replacing the schooling days with Saturday classes. But personally, I find these replacement classes a waste of time. In many schools, students don't show up. It prolongs the week or lengthen the week depends on where you are...states with Sat/Sun weekend or Fri/Sat weekend, adding to the tiredness. Are we being too flexible, taking off at our whims and fancy? Shouldn't we learn to work around it...not bend it to suit us?
If the Ministry is bent on extending the festive season break, a better thing to do is probably to plan the break into the schooling calendar. But that is also not a really good solution as festive seasons like Hari Raya moves along the Gregorian calendar which we follow which will result in the holidays being moved forward all the time. There will be no sense of permanency or control then.
