Man, just imagine this. We are getting prepared for finals, studying hard to pass the classes and pushing our brains to the beak. Filling your head with so much knowledge you know you will not remember in the future and information that doesn’t apply with your future goals or job description. For some students, finals mean the end of school and starts summer vacation. For others, finals are like the next “Star Wars” movie – a prequel to the conclusion, known as summer school.
That’s four months of work squeezed into your head in 6 weeks. Then you’re getting up at 7:30 in the morning for an 8 a,m. class because, face it, in the summer students get lazy and don’t want to get out of the bed till the last minute.
You are attending a class where the instructor is going so fast that you would think your at Six Flags on the Goliath. You’ll be playing catch up from the beginning. While your doing that, other people are at home waking up at 1 in the afternoon due to what they did the night before, and relaxing all day long.
It’s not the instructors fault that they are going too fast for you to grasp the lesson because they are working on a time limit. Also, they depend on students studying at home after class to teach students what they need to know for the test that will come in a week. However, what student really studies every night for two hours per class? It’s summer vacation. The only time a student will probably study is two hours the night before a test.
Even so, summer school has its rewards by reaching a goal faster. No one ever said taking the shortcuts will be easy; however, there is a celebration waiting for them at the finish line.
