"No matter what kind of activities they choose to participate in, as long as the children really love what they are doing and are able to gain happiness, knowledge, friendship, and growth from the experience, then this winter vacation will have been meaningful. As parents, we will always be happy for and proud of our children,” Norbu Tsering, a parent said.
His child Danzhu, a middle school student, has signed up to participate in winter activities aimed at character development.
Lobsang Tenzin, a student at Lhasa No. 8 Middle School, is tossing a ball around with other students.
He says, “For us, the winter vacation is a study buffer period. The “work” during class time and “leisure” in holiday should combine, providing oxygen for the brain, making learning more effective and life more interesting.”
