[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - to answer some of your questions, it's a whole class assignment. The teacher seems to think it's all part of taking AP classes. My DC said the subject matter he has to study and write about is important. He is just upset it was just dropped on them without warning. After the long walk and a night to let it all sink in, he's adjusted to doing the work. I just feel bad for him because he'll be working from 9 - 3 at a mini camp as well for the entire week.

The other thing is, I just feel my kid has already started on the rat race... for not much gain. We have a comfortable lifestyle and we've been working since 9 (husband), 15 for me. Husband works 70 hours/in a professional. It just seem everyone, kids and adults work more for less. I feel he earned the week off and he can't even take it. It is all rat race from here on. No wonder some of them are rebelling. [/quote]

OP, it sounds like he procrastinated the reading assignments and 1 of the papers. Is that true?  Several posters have asked and you have not responded to those questions.  If he did procrastinate, stop lamenting the "rat race" and teach time management.[/quote]
