Summer comes, and students are relieved of a long academic, productive year. Nevertheless, many of the families of Walton High School will be surprised. Based on the school records, all the individual students should be required to do summer reading in English and Social Studies. This is a requirement that surprises many students each year. Also, other courses require learning over the summer, such as courses in mathematics and science. The family’s recreational plans are made during vacation and camps without knowing about such commitments. As a result, stress levels increase significantly in August. Parents are rushing to get books which have been sold out in all places.
