Under the current structure, no. No assigned mandatory work over a summer vacation. Summer vacation is usually between grades too, so how is the teacher trying to implement this?

I'd think that the school itself could over see it. Or perhaps they are witholding this students grades until the teacher reviews the work.
But, I should mention I don’t agree with 3 month long school vacations. School all year long baby!! About time this country started to become educated again

Personally, I'm more in favor of year round school, with maybe a couple more few day breaks. A summer off just contributes to atrophy of the noggin'. Not to mention, the huge "latch-key" problem the summer contributes to....

I don't think there is any Law Issue about it. It's simply how things work. Why would this kid do homework for this teacher when it doesn't matter if he does it or not. The teacher can't Fail him because he's already Passed.
It would be like having to do work for a Ex-Boss at a job where you are no longer an employee. You don't need a law to get out of doing the work cause you can simply tell him to piss off because you don't work for him anymore.

Its a bogus suit. The proper way to handle this is through the school committee. Like a previous poster wrote: This is about a payday. Its a frivolous law suit. Its a shame a court will actually be bogged down this case instead of something real.
