Can a school give you homework over the summer

Question

because im going to this new school and i get a letter in the mail talking about a reading assignment that i dont now about and it will affect my grade

Answer 1

Yes, unfortunately, schools can- and do- give homework over the summer. I think that it is a bad idea; students need a break. But, if you want to get the best grade possible, you're going to have to do that assignment.

To find out about the reading assignment, call the office and/or check the teacher's website.

Answer 2

Homework during the summer is within the power of the school. Do it. Make a concerted effort to complete your assignment. If that can not be done explain the circumstance to your teacher and indicate when you will complete it./

Answer 3

yeah that's summer reading. most middle/high school assign you a book to read over the summer. If you're going to a new school, you should ask a counselor or a teacher or something what book you're supposed to be reading. I suggest reading it like, maybe a month before school so you don't forget what you read and so you don't have to be pysched and stressed about finishing on time.

Answer 4

yes if you fail your classes

and possibly if you are very dis-oriented boy in your class

Answer 5

Yeah, for AP Lit, we had two books we had to read over te summer, write journal entries for them, etc. It pretty much stinks, but you really don't want to start off with a bad grade, so it's better to get them over and done with.

Answer 6

yes if you fail a grade or yourin a advanced calss  

Answer 7

Well, in my schol, we don't get homework but we do get Summer Reading. We have to read a book and write a report on it, if you are in Advanced Language Arts 9which i am). It's basically an evaluation to see how well your reading comprehension skills are...Well i better get started. :)

Answer 8

they can't give you homework, but they can give you summer reading books. most schools do. if that is what you are talking about, it is not exactly homework. we have to read three books over the summer, then when we start school they make us write about. You get graded on how well the writing was. i think that is what you are talking about, but i am not sure. I hope i helped.
