Some Thoughts on Summer Work
Some Thoughts on Summer Work
During the summer months, I am a firm believer in time spent away from intense school work. These brief months will be some of the last prolonged times you will be able to spend with your parents (like it or not). Additionally, just like teachers, you need a break to decompress. But most importantly, you need time to be a kid/teenager. Therefore, you will not have specific assignments to complete, chapters to read but you will have concepts to review and questions to ask.
I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.
