The last two summers ( including this one) school hasn’t been out for the summer for me. I have been taking classes and working. I haven’t really had a break. Which for most would be a crazy thing to do but I have to say I like summer school. I find you don’t procrastinate much, and you remember way more of your subject and you get it done with in either 3 weeks or two months which is way better than 4 months of painful classes. And my grades during the summer are usually substantially higher than during the school year on some classes.
Though I think that taking school all year round really burns you out and that having a break is a good thing, that is why I took a month off and went to India this summer in between by two summer sessions and took a breather as after 2 years of school straight I was actually loosing my mind. So decided it was best for me to get out and take a break. and so I did… I went to India and visited family and relaxed and then came back full force for the upcoming year and rest of the summer class I took. So if someone would ask me if they should take summer school I would say yes but I would tell them to take the first half of the summer and relax the second half otherwise it just gets to be too much.
