School's Out!...For the Summer?!?

Today we have the rare case of Shaun making the more sensible point, which is to preserve the tradition of summer break. Of course, his reasons are weak as he apparently just wants to selfishly relive the glory of his summer camp days. But at least Shaun had a summer life. Jon apparently did nothing but watch television in his summer youth. Now, I suppose he wants to retroactively punish himself for his sedentary wastefulness and rid us of summer. Jon, we are not proxies for you in your war against yourself, sir. 

As often it goes with this podcast, Jon convinces Shaun of things and Shaun spirals out of control in his imagined world of summer camp/school. 

Guys, there’s only one reason to do academics in the summer, and that is to make up for missed academics in the school year. It’s obvious. Why do you make it so complicated?
