Students and instructors are off school from doing work typically between 8 and 9 weeks, depending on the country and district . In the United States, summer break is approximately 2.5 to 3 months, with students typically getting out of school between late May and mid-June and starting the new school year between mid-August and early September . In Republic of Ireland, Italy, Greece, Lithuania, Latvia, Lebanon, Romania and Russia, the summer break is normally three months, compared to six to eight weeks in Australia, Britain, Canada, India, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Germany . </P> <P> In some countries, school summer vacation is only six weeks or two months supposedly so students don't forget large amounts of information learned in the past year (See: Summer learning loss). Other education reformers believed that children were overstimulated in a system which required 48 weeks of schooling . They believe that over-schooling could lead to nervous disorders, depression, insanity, and separation anxiety towards families . They believe that children need the 2--3 months off to relax and also to take a break from other childhood stresses associated with school such as peer pressure, cliques, bullying, and the pressure of heavy loads of homework . </P>
