MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- A student whose vacation plans were spoiled has sued to end summer homework in Wisconsin, claiming it creates an unfair workload and unnecessary stress.

Peer Larson, 17, had lined up a dream camp counselor job last June, but honors pre-calculus homework turned his summer into a headache.

We prefer if the person would post something about the story instead of doing the "LOOK WHAT I FOUND" thing.

I never had a problem not doing the work why should he? Give him more homework when his lawsuit fails.

Perhaps someone should sue the kid for the extra paperwork that has to be done because of this law suit.

"It didn't completely ruin my summer, but it did give me a lot of
undue stress both at home and at work," the high school junior said
Thursday. "I just didn't have the energy or the time for it."

Welcome to the Real World, kid.

If only corporal punishment was allowed. Then people wouldnt be this stupid..
The kid should be shot for bitching about the homework for a pre-calc class. Better yet, a record of this should be kept and sent out to every college that he applies to, so that they can all see what a lazy SOB he is and deny him admission.

I think Deacon has a point though, you should at least try and make some point as to why you bring up this instead of saying "Daddy Look At Me, I can do a cannon ball."

What the heck kind of massive over-the-summer workload can precalculus produce?

I've never had to do summer work for a math class.

i'm pretty sure it was an honors or AP class, where summer work is run of the mill. my AP comp sci class had us doing SQL and vb .NET alllllll summer. literally.

yeah, honors precalc usually means some summer work, but its done in the last week before classes by most.
