School Holiday vs Liveability

This whole week is anticipating traffic less on the road. Even eating outlets have lesser patrons. Most are staying put in the shopping malls or tourist destination. This is school holiday week. It seem that school plays an important role on many of us especially the society. The usual peak hour jam at school area is gone temporary. The usual rush lunch hour at restaurants is not happened. All these because of parent are not in hurry to send their children to school, all during the same time. Many parent are taking days off to bring their children for vacation and hence relieve the city from flowing of cars. Even many organisations are organising events or seminar at tourist spots in the name of "lawatan sambil belajar". In short everybody is in holiday mood.

How liveable of our city is if everyday is the school holiday. Can it be done? Perhaps yes if we let all our school closed physically or in other words no children goes to school everyday. For example, different time schedule for primary and secondary school or having cyber and virtual teaching. Why not with the advancement in technology. Or may be the school will only accept students from the same neighbourhood within walking distance, however with the gurantee that our city is safe for children. This might be too idealism of asking students to stay home for self learning with virtual monitoring of teachers from far. If that is the case then perhaps prime land of our school site are too valuable for dvelopment, i presume.

Whatever it is, enjoy the precious limited time for stuck less on the road and queue less for food.
