Assigning Less Assignments/Homework

Assigning Less Assignments/Homework
Why this petition matters
With the Covid-19 pandemic still going on, students are struggling with the stress and pressure of going about with their daily lives as well as their school lives. The pandemic has caused many students (and other people) to have rising mental health issues, and to have assignments piling onto students is very overwhelming when some are struggling with their own mental health. Some students have lost a lot of motivation to continue on with their daily lives as well as their school life. When we get assigned large assignments and homework for 7 classes it is very stressful to keep up with them and our personal lives. Many students are staying up late to finish the assignments they are assigned and it does affect our mental health and our physical health the next day. We as students aren’t asking that you completely rid of assignments because we do understand we have to continue with our educations, but we do ask that you assign a little less because it is becoming a problem with many of our classmates and we do notice the change in their attitudes, energy, and their emotional/mental/physical health. The school system is supposed to support our students mental,physical, and emotional well-being so i as a student who is dealing with this issue, and many other students as well request less homework/assignments.
