<p>A lot of your summer work sounds like overkill. Some of those chem review problems are bound to be repetitive. Getting summer homework for an honors class is a new concept to me; at my school, besides the required reading book for all students, only AP students had real summer homework (and none of it was comparable to yours).</p>
<p>On top of the schoolwide book everyone had to read, my AP English classes usually required another two or three books (but no essays or reports). Last year, my AP Chem summer homework was a pain in the neck. There were five hands-on assignments (Powerpoint presentations and stuff) and a ton of problems to boot. The problems wouldn't have been bad if they weren't way beyond the level required for AP Chem (our class was tiny, and I was friends with half of them, so we all got together to do them, but it still took hours). AP Euro required reading two chapters from the textbook, but those two chapters were about 50 pages long each (tiny text, no pictures - fun).</p>
<p>I feel really bad for all of you. The only classes I know where there is actually any summer assignments at all are AP Physics, IB Chem, and AP Chem.</p>

<p>I'm only going into 9th grade, but I had to read A Lesson Before Dying and take notes .. it was pretty easy, finished last week.</p>
<p>any summer homework is too much.</p>
<p>yes i agree with you; any homework is to much espically if given during the summer!!</p>
<p>I am not high school student anymore but I agree with many of you that summer assignments are stupid. The only thing teachers should ask students to do during the summer is to read some books related to english, humanities,... Math and science teachers should not require any reading in the subjects that you are going to learn during school year. Any AP teacher asking students to turn in homework assignment during the summer should not teach the class.</p>
