Schoolwork in the Summer
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sylvan. SCORE. Kumon. Advertisements for summer learning programs are filling my inbox. They all insist their programs are fun, fun, fun. Business is booming at many for-profit tutoring centers. Some summer camps are emphasizing academics in addition to the more traditional summertime activities like swimming. Most schools at least have a summer reading list, and some have more detailed summer assignments.
Parents, will you make a concerted effort to include academics in your child’s summer schedule? Or will you make a concerted effort NOT to include academics in your child’s summer?
