  1. Yes, learning in the summer instead of wasting all the time is a very good idea. Children and parents use the summer time to educate their children in the subjects they are interested in or in those they are lagging behind. This is the perfect time to the schooling students to pursue their interests. I agree with every sentence in the blog. Loved to read the blog. Great article!!
