Tag: winter break

You don’t have to be “behind” to study — it’s just that this is what prevents you from falling behind later. For most high school students in New York, the Regents exams can seem like a distant obstacle in June. But if you wait until May to open your review book, I guarantee it means anxiety, a lack of sleep, and the whole lead-up-to-the-exam “cram” session that usually doesn’t bring high scores.

Winter break is one of the best opportunities in a student’s year. It’s a rare chance to recover from school and quietly build momentum, without nightly homework, early buses, or back-to-back tests.
