In Response...

My Theory is Valid.

TIME magazine Aug 2, 2010 edition has an article called "The Case Against Summer Vacation".

Being students is our job, and we better do a good job of it if we ever want to get "promoted".

Ethically, you go a long way if you get through your studies without paying the "middle man" or taking steroids.

Being a student is a job at their respective age.

*If so, then why do kids take summer break so lightly?

Do adults take 3 months off from work during the year? Neither should kids.

Education is not seasonal; learning is a lifetime process which can be accomplished on a daily basis.

Does that mean, kids have to be in a classroom setting to learn during the summer?

NO!

BUT they must be learning stuff at all times. There are so many ways to learn; students have a voice to be educated; yet they have spoiled themselves to learning in a classroom.

Learn with your imagination. Learn from those who know right from wrong. Learn from injustice.

Learn mannerisms, learn confidence, learn how to smile, learn how to be a good spirit amongst other people. Learn to serve.

Kids, it's only Summer time. Not Summer break.
