Hey look at that! We agree!
The summer is a pain in the ass imo. Parents that both work have to find activities for their kids (when they are young enough). I can't speak for everybody, but most people I know tended to get a little stir crazy by the end of it all. I can't source anything, but I'm pretty sure it isn't beneficial to the kids to have a sudden drop off of mental activities out of the blue (yes many do intellectual things over the summer, but many do not).
