Ask yourself one major question, right now.
"Do I indend to go to college after I'm done with high school?"
If yes, you need to get your homework done. Your teachers, as you get closer to your senior year of high school, are
going to give you more homework. Why? Because college professors don't give a damn how you feel about it,
they're going to assign you homework, so much so that it'll probably be coming out of your ears. You'll
have project deadlines you have to meet, and your teachers now are trying to get you used to that. That is their job: to
get you ready for college. If you want to succeed and make something of yourself, do your work.
Unlike public school, your vacations aren't part of the quarter. I'm attending a community college before I
transfer to The Ohio State University, and the fall quarter, which begins September 21, will end December 10. The winter
quarter will begin January 03. Over that period of time between quarters, I won't have any assignments, projects,
etc. At least be happy that in college, you're not in the same classes all year round; you register for new ones
each quarter. Yes, it costs money, but if you hate your professor, you won't have him/her again.
If no, then you'd better just drop out or barely make it to graduation from high school and sell food at
McDonald's.
Oh, before you get it completely and permanently embedded in your head that your teachers are getting the holiday,
you're wrong. My mom taught immature middle school brats for a few years, and you know what she did during break?
Graded papers and did lesson plans for the week school started back up. My high school teachers did the same thing. Your
teachers do it too. And if you're taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses in high school, which are actually college courses, the College Board is the one who sets the curriculum, because the AP
exams (I took two) are in May, and your AP teachers, who must get you ready for those exams, have every right in the
world to give you homework the summer before you actually start the class.
It's not as unfair as you think it is. It's actually for your benefit that you get homework over the holidays.
