When kids think of their summer vacation, little minds wander to a haven away from the halls of academia. No more over-bearing teachers asking where their homework is, and no more watching the clock, waiting for the next recess. But they no longer think of days occupied by picnic tables and playgrounds anymore. Rather, they are taken away to a land full of fun and favor, of playing video games all day, and letting their minds forget what they learned all year.
