consists of teachers, for they teach many students
useful things, and they know the students would just

that future ideas go in one ear and out the other of the
children’s heads. They want the students to remember
math problems, science labs, ancient history, important
books, and how to write good essays that they and their
fellow teachers taught the children.

they still like it. It gets them away from the tension that had
stressed them out. They get to relax a little as well. Students
dislike summer because of the immense heat that boils the air.
Some students don’t like it because some want to learn, and
