Schoolcare 

Largest entitlement program in the United States, its primary purpose is the storage of children whose parents are unwilling to raise and educate them. Often called by the misnomer "public education". Many people mistakenly believe that the monitors, aka "teachers", actually educate the children while they are there, despite class sizes that clearly demonstrate that the monitor's influence is a relatively small percentage.
Parental at the beginning of summer break: "School is out. Oh no! What am I going to do with them all summer? They misbehave SO much when they're bored, it's just impossible. I'd rather be at work."

Parental at the end of summer: "Thank God the kids are back in schoolcare! I am SO glad, I just can't stand them being home all summer!"

Parental to homeschooling parent: "Oh, I could never do that. Mine are in schoolcare; I wouldn't want to be around them that much."

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
