If students just hang around the house relaxing, sleeping, and watching T.V. or using electronics they fall behind and have to play catch up when they return to school in August. This creates a huge deficit and gap in their learning when compared to peers who hone their skills all year. Parents can do their part to help avoid this vicious cycle each summer.
