Author Topic: Four hours of work everyday during summer vacation? (Read 2482 times)

It's just getting so ridiculous that I wonder what you think -

On top of the simple assignments the school gives us for summer vacation (it's not even a vacation anymore), my dad gives us four hours of work every single day, either useless or very hard work such as math, handwriting, reading assignments, and other things like that. I have to say that I don't see any problems in my handwriting but he still claims it's bad for some reason because he is never satisfied...

I've had this trash schedule for five years and I hope I can stop it somehow - what do you think I should do? Confronting him will never work.

Try this : Make someone who has power over you assign you four or more hours of work (relative to your age) everyday during a time that you are supposed to enjoy and see if you can really respect the person that is forcing you to do it

I would do the work, you will come out of it a more intelligent and patient person. Who says summer time is technically for enjoyment? It's just a break from regular schooling in parts of the world, your parents can do whatever they want to.
