Join the work force part time if age allows it, real life experience and a bit of spending money doesn't hurt either. Help them become financially responsible at an early age, it will only help them in the future.
NO, I am a 9th grade student and I do not think that we should be given homework through out our break. I do believe that homework should be optional and if a student does choose to do the homework, he or she school be given reseaonable credit.
I'm not learning anything over the summer. If you want to teach me something, do it in the six months I have to show up to school, not when I have my free time.
How about-Have them enjoy summer. After all they are only kids.That is what I did when I was their age and I am sure you did too.Don't worry, they will not forget anything important and if they do forget something it is probably not worth remembering
It depends on the child, their interest and what they may need to work on. Parents should be able to access what's best for their child to work on over the summer - not too much, so they will still be excited about going back to school in the fall.
I agree that kids should keep up their reading, writing and math skills during the summer. "Homework" is a terrible idea! Kids can do fun home and community activities that incorporate those skills learned prior to the summer break!
