[quote=Anonymous]I think you are totally discounting the value of summer break and what children do learn over the summer. Many work, or travel, or attend camps. They learn some independence, build physical skills, pursue interests, learn responsibility. Some may travel and learn about other cultures. Parents can help children take summer vacation and build it into an opportunity to grow - in confidence, or in interests, or in strengths, but to write it off as dead time shows a complete lack of understanding that LIFE is important. In countries where all they do is book learning, their test scores are through the roof, but they are learning they lack the creativity and flexibility to innovate. Test scores are NOT the only measure of learning.[/quote]
