Student sues to end summer homework

The kid deserves a medal!

He deserves a kick in the ass along with his dad. Whatever happened to a parent telling his kid to listen to his teacher and do as he is told? Anyway, maybe if he wasn't filing lawsuits he would have time to get his homework done.

I never had to do homework over the summer, and it sounds like a dumb idea, but not as dumb as sueing over it.

There is finally hope.

We're gonna be screwed when my generation is running the country. I'll admit it.

last night i missed family guy because i was doing chemistry homework until after midnight. i guess i should take my school to court and sue them and pass a state law that homework should not be assigned on nights there are good tv shows on.

Oh boo freaking hoo.

Life's unfair kid. Suck it up and deal with it.

It's his own fault for taking honors pre-calculus.

He ought to except responsibility for his own actions.

I don't get the whole summer homework thing anyway. At my school, each semester, we could have had different teachers if we wanted (that may have changed since the students no longer schedule their own classes), so carrying homework over was utterly pointless because you're not going to have homework from one teacher and then go to another one.

No wonder some people are totally unprepared for college...their HS experience is too different.

we have summer homework here for Honors English... there's only one teacher though. They were also able to assign homework over Christmas break. But yeah, that wouldn't work with other classes.

How the hell do you get homework over the summer?...

Anyways um...ha. *goes and sues Burger King er something for big...fry...*

I was all for homework in highschool because the kids who did it,were ahead of the kids who couldn't be bothered.I reckon this kid had a case,the last thing someone wants to be doing in their holidays is school work.Its not supposed to be a stressful time.I remember getting holiday homework and assignments all the time.
