Required Summer Reading
Don’t get me wrong, I love to read. Just not when I have to waste my summer reading a boring book in my least favorite genre. Summer is for relaxing and no schoolwork, right? Give us a break after the stressful school year for once.

Recent studies have shown that students who take books home over the summer—books of their choice, that they actually want to read, with no actual requirement to read them—retain their reading skills much more than those who do not.
The summer is not for relaxing; it is for planting and harvesting crops on your family’s farm.
Jonathan, this post was about required summer reading. As in, you will be tested on this book when you come back to school. Modern education: I'm shaking my head at it.
