text: Thirdly, summer is the only time off school, besides the weekends, where students actually get a break from everything. They no longer have to worry about grades or the big test coming up, its just days full of warmth and relaxation. Summer time is the time of year when no student should have to be doing any sort of school work at all. All students go to school for nine months out of the year, which leaves the three months to do absolutely nothing. Although all students dislike the summer work that the teachers push on them, they dont understand how beneficial it is for them. Keeping your brain fresh with new knowledge everyday is what is needed in order to retain the information. Teachers dont assign the summer work to be evil toward you, they do it because they want you to be successful in the new school year. They want to set you up for success not failure.
