<p>Why does all jobs have very little break compared to students and professors having a big summer break? Ever since when did schools have breaks? </p>
<p>Doesn’t a break rust your brain?</p>
<p>No. Just as taking breaks from working out helps muscles grow, so taking breaks from studying helps the brain grow. :)</p>
<p>I’m guessing you’re Japanese? If that’s the case, then let me tell you that Asian school systems are crazy with no breaks.</p>
<p>My question is unanswered.</p>
<p>Asian schools like Korea do have breaks. It’s just that they attend after-school programs called hawgon and it basically sums up their life till college from childhood.</p>
<p>When did University schedule formulate into what it is now? (4 years with big summer breaks, 2 years master program and 4 yr PhD program)</p>
