With just a few weeks left of summer vacation I feel the grip tighten around me and the pressure mount of getting Summer Reading and reports done. They are not due the first day of school, but shortly after. I am very lucky, my girls are readers, but they have not completed their books yet for the project.
I really have grown to hate this yearly ritual of the arguing about getting it done. Last year the teacher didn't even take the beautifully typed and covered report handing in on day one of school. It stayed in her folder the entire year. I continuely asked why it wasn't turned it, and was told "the teacher didn't want it".
I think that reading is very important. Both of my girls spend at least an hour reading just about every day. Why is it that it has to be implemented with a deadline. Why can't we just worry about enjoying the summer. Why is it that we have homework during vacation?
Tell me what ya think?
