Summer schools
Summer vacation means long days，sleeping in or enjoying the summer sun．It is quite true for students to enjoy a rest after a long and difficult year．But more and more parents fear their kids forgetting a lot of knowledge，so they send their children to summer schools．Because summer schools can help children go over the knowledge that they have learnt during the school year．
In summer schools，students probably study in a more relaxing situation and can come up with interesting topics for discussion with their teachers．Usually，the number of students attending summer schools is smaller，so this gives them a good chance to connect with other students and teachers better．If a student has failed a course，summer schools may help him or her．Moreover，they are building their creativity （创造力）and imagination（想象力）as well as learning social skills．
On the other hand，summer schools bring children problems at the same time．It takes children the whole summer vacation to learn without playing．That is too long．As a result，it may make them less interested in school during the coming year．
For many students，taking summer classes can be a tiring experience．Teachers teach the subjects too quickly．which only harms the whole education of students．Summer schools are usually expensive．They usually offer only a few subject．So many students have to take classes that they don't like．
A summer school can be a good chance for students who need it，but it can be difficult for students who need a rest．SO you can decide whether a summer school is suitable for your children．
