<p>I have to write 2 papers and read an entire book for AP English still. When will teachers learn that assigning homework over the summer is evil?</p>
<p>then, dont waste anymore time on CC. I suggest you Cliff Notes/Sparknotes whatever your reading cause u dont have much time.</p>
<p>Teachers already know it's evil. That's why they do it.</p>
<p>Yeah I have to answer a million questions on my AP Euro book, Finish taking notes in my AP Euro textbook and finish some Alg II crap! Plus I am leaving at 5pm tonight to do volunteering crap and I really wanted to hang out with some friends today before school starts cause I didn't yesterday cause I read my AP book and did like 100 problems for Alg II and 2 pages of notes on the freakin Renaissance, which I learned about last year in Western Civ. </p>
<p>Okay wow I just rambled. I should probably start doing it!</p>
<p>School starts tommorrow for me too...</p>
<p>School Starts for me tommorrow as well. I have freshmen orientation tommorrow so the official day is thursday.</p>
<p>School starts for me on the 6th...one more week to go, but I still have half my summer reading to do...</p>
<p>I like mostly everything about my school, but not the required-reading part! Summer reading is about the only thing I procrastinate on...</p>
<p>school starts the 6th for me too & i still have to read 3 chapters in the historty text book for apush & write 3 outlines, then make t-charts & a map & another outline.. yay..</p>
<p>still have 17 days. but they'll fly by pretty fast.</p>
<p>im in school now because I live in florida. Im happy to return to see friends and whatnot, but I hate WORK!</p>
<p>didn't you see your frinds during the summer?</p>
<p>well I live far away from my friends like a whole 2 cities/towns away so I did but im isolated where I live at home. Anyways I have more friends at school than outside school.</p>
<p>I still have to do this character summary for eng H. and I think 30 questions for ap euro. But the euro is getting handed in on the friday aftter school starts, which for me is the sixth.</p>
<p>I start the 6th...7 days...but I still have SO much to do, it's insane. Ugh.</p>
<p>my school started 3 weeks ago, but i know that at least half of my honors eng class waited until the 3 days before school started to finish our packet. you know what makes me mad? that only honors classes have to do packets. no one else! it seems like theyre punishing us for being ahead of the game. and we dont have a reading list, only 1 book (great expectations) and a packet with over 150 questions!
gosh, i think ive ranted a little too much. oh well, i feel better now.
.-_-. Dimples.</p>
<p>I start in a week. I actually read one book. I barely started the other though. I think I'm just going to read the cliff notes for it...
I have 5 different papers due on the books and a poem.
In 10th grade I used cliff notes for the book assigned for summer reading, and I got a better essay/test grade than my friends who read the actual book.
Good luck on your assignment though. =o</p>
<p>What a shame, may God help you during this time. I do not suggest cliff notes, etc, cause that is the equivalent of cheating. Go to school, confess that you did not do the assignments, and accept the consequences. In the end, it is better to keep your character rather than to cheat with Cliff Notes.</p>
<p>I finished all my stuff! Finally, not to the best of my abilities... but it is done! School tommorrow... yay!</p>
<p>I think teachers assign summer homework because they believe (...mistakenly?) or hope (...misguidedly?) that you are responsible enough to actually do it during the summer. </p>
<p>And I think that you get more summer homework for honors classes because as an honors student you are expected to be capable of a heavier workload than your non-honors counterparts, and because they assume that you got into the honors program because you don't mind working on academic things or even--God forbid!--because you enjoy learning, which, you know, demands that some attention be paid to the material being learned.</p>
<p>I speak as someone who was never exposed to summer vacation as most teenagers know it. I am thoroughly mindboggled by and even contemptuous of the concept of summer laziness and disregard of intellectual pursuits.</p>
<p>... I'm also a bit tetchy this evening. Sorry. :o</p>
