If you have kids, and they are not already on summer break, they probably will be soon. I’m pretty grateful to have made it here. It seems we push academics pretty hard around here, but I think it’s good to take a step back. Academics are not the only way to learn, and for many things, they are not the best means. They certainly should not be treated as the ultimate key to success.
This is our chance during the summer for the kids to learn what they can’t learn as well in a classroom. The kids may go to summer camps or mission trips (not to mention vacations), and these are good. Even just taking time to socialize with each other provides a great opportunity. I hope to take my sons out on some bike rides during the summer just to get them out and active. All of these are valuable opportunities that we don’t want to lose.
I think of this when I remember that there was a drive in my home town to increase the length of the school year by 20 days. It was touted as a great opportunity to improve education in our town. I don’t think that was really the case, and I still don’t think so. I’m ready for my kids to experience more out of classroom growth.
