What a wonderful time for students as they're rip-roaring to get back to...what? Rip-roaring to get back simply for the sake of getting back together, or for the sake of learning.
Back in my day - many, many, moons (and suns) ago - I think it was a combination of both. Though it may diminish with some as the months go on, I think there's a general consensus that students do, if only momentarily, anticipate learning. In today's broken - author's emphasis - educational system, it is the job of the stakeholders to determine how we keep that momentary light from going out.
