[quote=Anonymous][quote]You can have all the idyllic, Funyuns-and-games summers you want when they're younger, and that's fine then, but frankly as kids get older -- again, AAP or not -- they are going to need to keep up some skills in the three months between one grade and the next, or they will struggle. Our relatives in another country where there is year-round school (with generous vacations of two to five weeks throughout) shake their hears at the idea of three solid months with zero academics. I do too. [/quote] One of my kids is a national merit scholar finalist in college on a full academic scholarship. Another graduates from college in the spring. About 90% of his tuition was covered by scholarship money. They were both in gifted/AAP (depending on where we were living) programs throughout school. We did absolutely nothing but play all summer long every single year. [/quote]
