It must be nearly unaminous- back off. She's been doing the work, and successfully.
I do not think AP teachers should even dream of assigning summer work- it ca all easily be done during the assigned school year (around here AP exams are a month before the end of the school year). It is fine to give "suggested" topics for those looking to avoid boredom. The best students don't need the extra time. Someone made the point about college classes being the 15 weeks plus finals- AP courses are doable in the allotted school year/semester. Students who can't handle them in the allotted time perhaps should rethink their college ambitions- they won't have time to do the course's work before it starts then.
Newspapers now are a lot less worthwhile than years ago- online info is the way to go.
