Just raising my hand in agreement with esobay geek-mom and all of those who are advising you to lighten up and listen to your husband. The most important part of your daughters equation here is to raise those SAT scores.

Junior year is over so her admissions profile GPA wise is in place now focus on the SAT prep. Show her what it took SAT wise to get into her favorites and do what you can to help her improve her SAT scores. But be low key. My D did on online course through Petersons and raised her CR by 50 and her Math by 90. She did it on her own time maybe spending a half hour to 45 min at a time. She could have worked harder at it and had even better results but we were pleased with her results the 2nd time around.

The teacher encouraging the students to read a newspaper is fine but as Capt Barbosa said, it's "...more of a guideline." Your D clearly knows how to take care of business and has done so beautifully. Enjoy ths summer together and allow her her down time she has earned.
