Really it`s simple kids have 180 days of school that means homework, waking up early, and depending if your in middle or high school you have 7 or more classes. Summer is the time where kids can stay up all night and have fun eat junk food and play video games all summer so when you are not doing anything but have fun and sit around all day it effects the hard work concept of school.
I would say it would be dramatic because the audience knows something that the characters themselves do not or one character plus the audience knows something another character or characters do not.
