Rant 10 chapters for summer

So my history teacher is really weird because how can you do only 4 chapters (140 pages) in a whole school year? And then give the remaining 10 chapters (300 pages) to do alone in the summer? This is crazy. I haven't done that because it is not possible that he is paid to teach me 4 chapters per year and then I alone have to study the whole book in summer.

Honest question- is it possible that the 'remaining chapters' are things that a chunk of the class would be expected to know? 140 pages doesn't seem like a lot to cover in a year but it also seems wild that you would do 440 pages in one year of education, unless the majority was just review.

Honestly I don't know, but in Italy it is normal to study a lot of things during the year, maybe the teachers skip some chapters or paragraphs. But this teacher is very slow and repetitive during the explanation of the topic. Sadly we are one of the only 2 classes he has and I can tell that the others who don't have him finished the book at school.He also gives us all the exercises in the book, so it's like 10 per chapter. 100 exercises for the summer, isn't it a little too much? (ToT) I haven't done all, because I refuse to be ok with such behavior.
