Summertime is for playing outside, swimming, getting dirty and having fun. I am a huge proponent of time off for kids. Time for them to explore, to think on their own and not always from a teacher. Time for them to run a Ninja Warrior course or have scooter races and swing contests to see who goes higher. Not all education in life comes in a classroom.
