OK the article is written about a very successful bloke – Sir Martin Sorrell. His claim that \u201cGap Years are a waste of time\u201d goes on to say that kids who take a year out before continuing with their education are achieving nothing meaningful , that gap years lacked direction, they need to be more focussed and specific.<\/p>\n Definition of a Gap Year<\/strong>:\u00a0a period, typically an academic year, taken by a student as a break between school and university or college education._<\/p>\n Definition of a break<\/strong>: a\u00a0rest, respite, interval, breathing space, lull, recess;<\/p>\n The majority of kids start school 5, some as young as 4 and are relentlessly drilled to learn, to hit targets, to achieve in an ever competitive school environment. School is the official title but as the school day ends often their days continue with extra tutors, music lessons, sports, language learning until eventually these little people fall in an exhausted heap into their homes where, after a brief \u201cbreak\u201d for their fish fingers and chips, they have to settle down to deal with far too much homework. The self as a developing individual personality being given little or no time or space to emerge.<\/p>\n![\"This](\"https:\/\/alisonsdiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/images.jpeg\")
