Quantity != quality.

If poor kids need something to do over the summer, why not invest in some positive activities for them, instead of punishing everyone?

I don't even think it's about poverty necessarily; we're far worse off financially it seems than people we know on state benefits but I'd class what we've managed to do for free/low cost over the summer as being pretty enriching.

We do have a car which is essential for work but if we didn't have to run it then we'd still be able to make the trips we do - with extra arrangements and some extra time - and be no worse off financially.
