Summertime.
People, please do not completely fall for the projected images of summer i.e:
- Swimming a lot
- Being carefree
- Relaxing vacation
REALITY CHECK! ALL SCHOOLKIDS, ATTENTION PLEASE!
Summer also means:
- Holiday homework (mainly for students grades 5 and up)
- Well, your parents may not get long leave...
- If you're not out of town the WHOLE vacation, beware...it is crazy hot outside and the chances of you being allowed outside in the morning or afternoon are quite slim
Especially holiday homework. I mean, seriously, how many projects and worksheets have you been given to be submitted (completed, I mean) at the end of summer?
I'm convinced that at least 75%, though it's probably more like all, of the kids in my class are groaning about holiday homework. I also think that teachers are dreading correcting, roughly, fifty projects or worksheets from each grade they teach. If not more.
Look, I'm not saying summer's a terrible time.. It's when you're supposed to have a break...but how is it a break if you've got assignments to bother you? Do I sound irritated? Probably because I am.
This is something you've probably heard at least twenty times before, but try to get your holiday homework finished ASAP. It's going to be hard...believe me, it's taking me about a week to convince myself to start on my assignments.
All that said, good luck.
And have a great time!
