注意:每空不超过3个单词。 Frederick M. Hess is the director of education policy studies in American. He says that a long summer vacation doesn"t make sense in today"s world. In a summer vacation, millions of kids spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doing shopping in the mall. These activities are putting their futures at risk. Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn"t need an education to get a good job. But now things have changed. For today"s students, academic(学术的) skills are important to students" future success, but such skills are affected in the summertime. Most American schools offer up to thirteen weeks summer vacation. Summer vacation also causes challenges for today"s families. In the 1960s, more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home Mom. Now two-thirds of American children live in households where every adult works. For these families, summer vacation can be more burden than break. Someone must watch the kids. “A longer school year does not have to be hard and boring work. Instead, it should allow teachers to give richer and more imaginative lessons,” Frederick M. Hess suggested, “Schools would have more time to devote to athletics, languages, music and the arts”. Summer vacation can be a grand thing. But in the 21st century, it may also be outdated.
