Summer

Summary The article, “Should children study in the summer holidays?” (Jackson, 2017) discusses the pros and cons of continuing a child’s education throughout their summer vacation. In favor of this idea was Vivien Stiles, a professional tutor for Kumon, who argued that studying over the summer would help children ease back into a full school year. Stiles continued to explain the program as a two day school week which teaches Mathematics and English. The average time it takes for each student to

I remember it as if it was yesterday, maybe because it was yesterday. No, I’m merely kidding. It was this summer. Not this coming summer, the last summer. And not the summer of the year 2016, the one from this year, 2017. What happened that summer night? Numerous things. It was any other typical summer day for me in the ole’ Fritz household. I was getting bored doing things with Hallie, the dog, or by myself. I thought of a brilliant idea, “I’ll invite Kennedy over, it’s been forever since I’ve

The first weeks of the summer fellowship in the VDS stream was a bit hectic. They consisted of learning protocols and techniques. Three plates of PNiC-BSa4 colonies were grown by my partner and me that week. These were later used by the majority of lab students who had reached the cloning stage. My first PCR with plasmid pgbr22 failed, but the second was successful. PCR with pmCherry had to be completed 3 times to get a successful result and PNIC-BSa4 PCR had to be completed twice to get a successful

opposed to one long summer break. Changing summer break into much shorter, but more frequent breaks would be beneficial for many reasons. Just think, most students lose up to one month of knowledge over the summer. Although most students could go to a learning camp over the summer, lower income students cannot afford this as summer break is financially taxing on them. Finally, while lower income and higher income students may have their differences, all students stay up late over summer break. Staying

Is summer beneficial for students? After every school year there is the summer holiday. Summer is probably the most exciting holiday of all for students because it comes after they finish school and is a huge holiday. Students can do anything and have nothing to worry about. People always seem to question if summer break is beneficial for students or not. Summer vacation is beneficial for students because it gives them a break from school, time for family, time to take courses and look for jobs

Diving into Change The fictional novel entitled That Summer was written by author, Sarah Dessen. It was published in 1996 as her first book to be sold. Dessen states, “It was actually the third one I wrote, after a terrible book I did in college and one that was marginally better the year after. I never intended That Summer to be a YA (young adult) book while I was writing it” (Sarah Dessen, n. d.). She then goes on to state how her publisher believed it would be a good book for teenagers, so, she

Pope, principal RIF launched a program called Read for Success. This is a summer reading program where children, parents, teachers and members of the community come together to support a child to read during the summer. Children who don’t read over the summer risk losing up to three months of important skills that they learned during the school year. This is especially true of children from low-income families. Summer learning loss poses a real threat to a student’s academic success and ability

and other businesses needed summer employees to accommodate the tourists and summer residents that flooded the area during the peak season. The region developed a reputation as a place for young people to go boating, meet the opposite sex, and generally have a blast for a couple of months. My pals and I who were members of the seasonal-resident community shunned the idea of staying near our schools or winter homes in order to get summer employment there. Going to summer school, like my sister Betsy

During the summer break of 2013 I was an eager soon to be a sophomore. Even with summer break, I faced a stressful combination of summer school, Crew soccer club practice, and homework. To cope with them, I unknowingly turned to unhealthy eating and sleep deprivation. As you can imagine my summer did not go the way I expected it to. I finished summer school in the middle of July when I woke up with a sudden, harsh, and excruciating pain in my lower abdomen. I couldn’t bare to even get up from bed

Someone once said, “Your capability is admirable beyond words, so do not be afraid to show it”. In the books That Summer and The Crown this theme is demonstrated by the protagonist numerous times. Without question, Haven from That Summer may be lonely, but Eadlyn from The Crown is capable which is far more admirable. Without a doubt, a tremendously capable character in the book The Crown by Kiera Cass would be Eadlyn Schreave. To be capable is to be able to do the task at hand. One example that
