Fall Break

So, Im bout to go to bed from a wonderful Fall Break. I checks my email at 9:00pm and what do i see, an assignment that my teacher emailed to the class at 7:00 that night that is due the next day. I had a fit. What is the purpose of fall break? Its not like Christmas, or Thanksgiving. Is it to enjoy, get a break from school, catch up on your rest, or catch up on our work? Why do teachers give us work to do over our break? and then we have to spend time trying to get it all done. Just my opinion: I hate it, It should be for us to catch up on other work we already have, it should be for us to enjoy, to get a break from school. Teachers shouldnt give work over break especially if its last minute. How bout some extra credit?
