We all agree education is important, but we would be lying if we said we enjoyed the classroom environment. The boring lectures, followed by the boring homework, followed by the stressful tests made some years of school downright terrible. The doldrums of school would be alleviated somewhat by engaging teachers and good friends, but the work itself and the concentration needed for six plus hours of the day definitely made the eyes heavy and the energy low. It's hard work being a student, especially when you have so much energy and would much rather be doing other things. To many, school is suffocating, but it does not always have to feel that way.
Festivals, assemblies, and other special events can be a great way to reward the hard work of students. It gives the students something to work toward and look forward to, serving as both a well-earned reward and a much needed break from the cramped classroom. Even simple events like a movie night can go a long way in helping students relax. By doing events like this, the school shows that the brick building that piles on so much stress can be a place of fun as well.
Children have way too much energy, especially for being put into a classroom for hours. This, along with their natural creativity do not always fit into the structure of a classroom. Entertainment services give an outlet for the children to laugh, play, and overall just express themselves the way children are meant to. Besides, the classroom is good for structured education, but it is not conducive to social education. Events like these give kids the opportunity to socialize with students they do not normally get to talk to, allowing them to develop their social skills and form new friendships. Having entertainment services, even once in awhile, can be just as important as learning about long division.
