School's out for summer

Remember the last day of school and everyone would be chanting the rhyme - no more pencils, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks. Kids today are probably still chanting that rhyme or something similar to it. Kids are under a lot more stress compared to 30 years ago. They are expected to be somewhat reading and writing by the time they hit Grade 1. Teachers are also under a lot of stress trying to teach these skills. I want to wish both students and teachers a wonderful summer. Kids - turn off your electronics and play outside (it is going to be a pretty dry summer). Teachers - enjoy the carefree days of summer.
