Remember this Story

Back in January there was a story about a young man and his father filing suit against the school because of mandatory "summer homework", I commented on it in Academic Future. Well the results are in:
MILWAUKEE (AP) - A judge threw out a high school student's lawsuit against mandatory summer homework, saying he and his father should have done a little more studying themselves before bringing the case.
Students in the Whitnall High School math course - honors pre-calculus - were supposed to do three assignments by certain dates over the summer. Peer Larson, 17, and his father, Bruce, had filed suit in Circuit Court, arguing that homework should not be required after the 180-day academic year is over.
I repeat my previous advice "don't take the class since it is and "honor" and voluntary".
