Dear Ms. Pizzano,

We, the students of your Freshman IB English class at Curtis High School, would like to bring to your attention our concerns regarding the excessive amount of projects that you assign.

While we understand the importance of project-based learning and its benefits in enhancing our critical thinking and creativity skills, we feel overwhelmed by the frequency and quantity of projects assigned in your class. It has become a source of stress for us as we struggle to balance these assignments with other academic responsibilities.

According to a study conducted by Stanford University, too much homework can lead to negative effects such as sleep deprivation, increased stress levels, and decreased motivation towards learning. We believe that this applies not only to homework but also to projects that require extensive research and preparation outside of class time.

Furthermore, it is important for teachers to consider their students' mental health and well-being. The American Psychological Association reports that high levels of stress can have detrimental effects on both physical and mental health.

We respectfully request that you reconsider the frequency and quantity of projects assigned in your class. We hope that you will take into account our concerns as we strive towards academic success while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Thank you for considering our petition.

Sincerely,
Your Freshman IB English Students at Curtis High School

this is not a serious petition we love you Ms Pizzano :)
