Carleigh Smitherman started this petition to AACPS superintendent

Causes too much stress, And due to the stress causes student mental health to suffer.Not really gonna all of help us in the future unless everyone wants to be a historian.We didn’t have the time to learn all of the tools needed to do this because of COVID, instead of learning actual ss content we’re focused on this. Takes up to much time on students schedules, like we have other things to work on and most of the project has to be done on our own time.lots of teachers have said that this topic is super hard to do and find info on and we are already struggling because of covid.Kids who got covid or got sick in general are left behind.Unclear instructions, Rushed into teaching how to do the project when we’re two years behind on learning about it.most teachers turn down the topics we want to focus on????? like wth. the project ends up being a lot of our overall grade with sources being graded, the annotated bibliography’s, and then the quarterly grade and that’s just like a lot for one project if that makes sense.It’s a forced project. We understand this is a big thing that happens but we are forced to do this and if we win we want to make nhd optional because. that’s how it is in hs i think. but if we lose then we’ll just have to suffer and stay up late with our mental health already not great just to do one stupid project which is basically our entire grade.
