Yes the management comes via parents not school.... In India as a kid we usually had April-May as summer vacation. Once I was old enuff - ie > 10 yrs old,my dad got me working at the neighborhood garage, for no money during vacation time ...It was a way to educate me & keep me out of mischief... (Even today,(at the ageof 50+) I am amazed at people in my neighborhood who do not know how to change a flat tyre in their car or change a radiator fan belt. Then there are guys who have ignition problems, and don't know that the spark plugs can be cleaned in a few minutes, and how to clean them...) Go figure- education in schools only ?
