Mostly, it is a way for students to earn 'credits' (for tie-dying and cooking) they couldn't, wouldn't or didn't earn in regular school and a kick back for teachers looking to earn a few extra books doing even less than many do during the school year. An interesting quote I once heard in LAUSD - "So, who's getting summer school this year?" As in, who is getting the opportunity to earn $20 to $25 per hour to sit in a room with kids. There might be some good summer schools out there and some private schools have summer programs that rival their 'regular' programs, but summer school (especially in LAUSD before the year 'round schedule - abother scam) was seen by fellow teachers as a cheap and easy way to earn more money.
