<p>I have been looking into some Summer programs, with my parents giving the go ahead. However, they keep interjecting: "Why not take the summer off? What's there to gain from continuing school?"</p>
<p>...any proposed rebuttals?</p>
<p>"It's my summer and I'd love to spend it the way I want to. If that means loads of summer programs then I don't see the problem with it."</p>
<p>Your parents do have a point though if you're looking at just a bunch of school related programs.</p>

<p>if you can't find a reason for doing this then don't do it, most of the summer programs that are just continuations of school are pretty worthless anyways</p>
