With long weekends such as this one in Canada, sometimes the last thing students are thinking about is getting their homework done. It is more traditionally a time for barbecues, shopping, spending time with family and friends, or getting some extra work hours in for that part-time job.
The thing is...it is a great time to do homework if you are going to school within the summer months. Students who are going to school within the summer months should feel extremely fortunate they are doing so. In Malcolm Gladwell's The Outliers, he discusses how important it is to keep learning over the summer months so you do not lose the skills that you develop over the fall and winter. This is a book about how to succeed. I completely agree with this.
The same is true of weekends. If more students put in a seven-day week effort into their studies - they would truly see the results.
With that said...have a good long weekend.
