Why would someone use this as a slogan??

This magazine of summer activities not sponsored by the school or county has a slogan at the bottom that says:

"SCHOOL IS OUT, SUMMER IS IN, LET THE DRAMA STOP AND THE FUN BEGIN"

it came in my daughters folder with other papers, she's in elementary school and they are imposing that school is just about drama and boring and that the only fun is when summer comes.

This is why kids here aren't encouraged to go to school and learn.

I think by "drama" they could be referencing the stress that comes along with school?

Drama as in children's difficult behaviours toward school work. I think the target audience is parents here. I mean do primary school children fully understand the concept of what "drama" is? I don't think so.

But... that's usually the truth. ?

"Pink Floyd's song - Another Brick In The Wall" - was inspired by that painful truth:



That slogan is redundant. I mean, if school was actually a great place for education - children would prays it (some classes/teachers are - and they are praised), not feel like shit... as if they're going to prison. ?

I agree with you - it is being portrayed in a negative light and it's not a good example

Maybe for higher grades, yes. But still they aren't suppose to relate it with negative connotations then what about their concept of school drama plays?

Or maybe it relates to school performance, so it would be "you can stop worrying about your school performance and now its all about play time!"

well i worked with 12, 13 years olds. so yes, but i guess they didn't even want to target younger ones.

For older students, I think it is dangerous yes. But since it was for primary school graders as the op said, thats why I thought it was more to attract the parents.
