This is great! Also, what about summer work? I understand "preventing summer brain death" but I have five books to read (and I have to take notes), five essays to write, and 5-10 poems to read and take notes on. I have two months to accomplish all of this. Not even in school do I read more than two books a month!

The healthy homework guidelines include a provision re avoiding assigning or requiring summer homework. See the guidelines here at end the race dot org.

Also, posting a great piece on summer homework on our facebook page.

Wish my teachers could see this, I have so much homework and it's almost impossible to do my favourite hobby, football. I have usually 2-3 teachers for each subject all setting homework and not telling each-other what they have set. Some nights I get only half an hour to my self.
