Purpose of Summer

Summer is supposed to be a vacation. Days free of work. Relaxation. Your are supposed to do whatever you want. At least supposed to. But noooooooooooo, you have to do math, and read, and write, just so "your brain cells don't start to die." What if people don't want to do math or write? Then they shouldn't have to, right? Some people just don't understand what summer is. 
"No cellphone until you finish that chapter." 
"40 problems then you can go to Sweetfrog."
"23 sentences! One word does not count as a sentence!" 
No, just no. That is not summer, that is school. It irritates me so much. Summer is summer. Summer is NOT  a continuation of school. School ends for a reason. The reason is not just so kids have to even MORE work. If that was their goal, then we wouldn't have a summer! But we do! Therefore, we should use it as it was meant to be used. AND they send out the school supply list the first week of summer?!?! I mean, What Is This??? I bet they DON'T want us to have a good summer. All they want is for us to dwell on the upcoming school year. "These innocent little children think they are going to have fun over the summer! Psh! Fun? I don't know the meaning of fun! MUAHAHAHAHA!" says every school administrator in the world. Don't you think it's a little early for that? I don't know, it might just be me, but I definitely don't want to think about that yet.
