In elementary school, the phrase 'summer school' generally meant some kind of camp that was at least partially educational.
In middle school, summer school was something to be avoided for the bulk of the school population.
In high school, summer school meant the difference between graduating and having to go to actual school for another full year, let alone the summer.
Now, in college, summer school is a good thing. Summer classes help you to graduate in one of three ways: with higher honors, earlier, or on time.
As for me? I'm already a year behind. Summer classes are helping me to not have to take 21 hours of classes over Fall 2013 and Spring 2014. Then, after a blissfully free summer, I'll take on Content Methods in Fall, and then Student Teaching in Spring of 2015, after which I will gleefully graduate.
Just thought I'd share. :)
