Summer School

Summer school used to mean failing a course and having to take it in the summer so one could get to the next grade. Now one can take regular credit courses (new credit, re-take a course to upgrade mark) and remedial credit courses (earned a final mark of at least 35% but below 50%).  I would have been happy to go to summer school - school was fun for me.  So it seems ironic that those who went to summer school in decades past were those who didn't like school.  

Summer school for the Toronto District School Board ends today with report card pick-up.  So now what to do with August? There's the Helsinki summer school from August 4th to August 20th.  One can go to Shanghai China, the Imperial College in London, or Berkeley.  So many options to choose from.
