sooo...why do teachers assign work over the summer?? My AP World History teacher for next year is having us read three chapters from a text book written for college sophomores, outline each one, and memorize the names and locations of every country in the world. Which is absolutely ridiculous. Anyways I started outlining the first chapter today, its on the Neolithic revolution. It's mildly interesting but fails to hold my attention for very long, which is why I am writing this instead of outlining the beginning of civilization.
