Also summer reading assignments.

First homework, then summerwork, then punishing you for what you do outside of class, then giving you detention for a facebook post. School has had a tendencey of overstepping their area of control.

Its worse when they give you work, threaten to fail you if you dont do the summer work, and then forget to collect the work or even bother to grade it at all. Didnt affect me because I didnt give a shit about my summer work assignments, but the other suckers did the work with nothing in return.

Last time I did a my summer assignments I think I was in 5th grade. After I just stopped caring. It never affected me.

Here's a packet of useless shit you'll relearn in the next grade. Our goal with these is to legally change summer break to just summer. Have fun. *Snicker*

Yeah, I just don't do them. Razz I mean, I read anyway so whatever. I can do the essays when I get back to school, but fuck the packet. For us it's only "a guideline to help with your essays." I don't need that shit. I'll do what I always do. Pull random things out my ass, slap them on paper and get an A.

You're lucky. My parents FORCE me to do the packet, they check if I did it or not, so I'm fucking angry!

So does my mom, do your parents actually read it? If not then do what I do, write the first page and then a bunch of random shit on the other pages. It's really funny hen they okay an essay about dicks

They're probably going to increase the workload more now that there are recurrent studies on the 'adverse effects' of summer break - TIME and New York Times do this same shit every two to three years, not far off from "Is this generation the most narcissistic generation ever?????? ROLFL." You might say "That's TIME and NYT, fuck 'em," and I'd agree, but people tend to only pay attention to the scientific studies that make it to those publications.

These are older, but give it a year, I bet you they're gonna reprint the same fucking articles, and faggot 'education reformers' (read: republican ploy) are gonna hassle Arne Duncan into doing a mass reduction on summer vacation time.
