Students of MNPS Demand Lower Workload

The Issue

Ever since the school year started for MNPS, there has been overwhelming confusion and stress coming from the students. We try to voice these concerns and complaints on MNPS post however we're always left hanging with no answers. However, I would like to present an option that can help with this. 

MNPS NEEDS to lower the amount of work that is given to us students. As it is right now we are given daily assignments and little guidance on how to do most of them. Even though we've split our classes from 8 all year to 4 a semester, it is still an unreasonable amount of work considering the change we all are going through. 

In lowering the amount of work it has to be separated into the Synchronous learning days so that we're able to go over it and get the help some students. This will leave the Asynchronous days for us to actually work on the material. 

This does not have to be a permanent change, however it is a change we desperately need right now in this new and strange situation to help us ease into this new virtual learning environment. I hope MNPS sees this and truly listens to us students, or at least give it some consideration.
