Most students taking summer classes in Minneapolis are either preparing to pass the Minnesota Basic Skills tests, or making up credits they did not earn during the regular school year.

Joe Musich and Marcia Sutherland are teaching credit-makeup classes at South High School this summer. Joe teaches social studies, Marcia teaches English.

Morning Edition's Jim Bickal stopped by to talk with them on the first day of summer school.
