Summer assignment

[Merna]

As if the fact that kids spend almost 10 months of their entire year stuck in some classroom, learning [useless information] and getting their rights and individuality stripped away wasnt enough torture, somebody thought itd be a good idea to start off the kids summer by essentially giving them a project. That is basically what a summer assignment is.
Most people that run these school systems are oblivious to the fact that: A) Kids are not going to magically become more [literate] by being forced to read some crappy novel Most kids dont even read the books theyre given, instead relying on the internet (A.K.A. that thing that proved that school is 100% obsolete) to give them a quick summary of it, and doing their 5 page essay on that and C) Most kids would rather NOT think about school during the only time they have off.
Its almost similar to when they send you packets to do during [Christmas Vacation], and you were too busy doing those to actually enjoy playing your new video game system (because homework packets make everybody feel [jolly]!). Except imagine them taking a bite out of your summer instead. That is what summer assignments are like.
