1 lesson for online schools weekly instead of two

1 lesson for online schools weekly instead of two

The Issue

As of currently we are participating in online schools because of the covid 19 virus. In these online classes we have to take 2 lessons a week composing of at least 2 graded  assignments in both and a large amount of documents needing to be read in both to complete these assignments. Now I honestly believe this is putting a lot of stress on kids because this is a exponential amount of work that needs to be done. It’s not fair to be doing so much work and in my opinion and many of my friends we are doing more work out of school then when we where in it. We are supposed to be worried about taking care of our selves and our families trying to stay safe and they want us to be strictly focused on school work. Kids like me we don’t have the drive at our homes same as teachers just motivation we barely do homework or any assignments at home and they expect us to do so much and to be quite honest it’s not fair. We need to lessen the lesson plans to make it easier on students and even teachers I know all of the teachers and students seeing this would agree with a shorter lesson plan just having 1 lesson instead of two because of the amount of focus and drive that’s needed to complete this is uncalled for and it’s unfair for students who have to do this without WiFi or a computer and have to struggle through this. We need to shorten the lesson to 1 instead of 2 please help me the students and teachers reach this goal
