Hello students and parents of MCCSC, recently because of hybrid, students have become overwhelmed with the amount of homework that their teachers have given them. Students at North have been repeating days instead of following their regular block schedule, and students at South are having hour long meetings each period. We are all beyond stressed and want to take action to make sure this doesn’t continue going on, at least to the extent that it has reached.

Solutions: 

•Teachers should give out less homework and extend due dates.

•Teachers should be forced to stick to the schedule provided so there are no more random class meetings.

•Give us a day off to catch up on work 

•ex. Fridays off at Bloomington North because currently the schedule is Maroon, Maroon, Gold, Gold.

Fridays are different each week, so it might even be easier so we keep a consistent schedule.

•Pass/Fail system should change

We do appreciate our counselors, but they should not be in charge to deal with everything.

~We currently have a lot on our plate right now that can be considered as making us not focused such as:

•Covid-19

•Death of family members and friends

•The lack of empathy from our schools

•Almost everything we have this year is gone (Sports are starting to get cancelled and most extra curricular activities) we just need some leeway 

•Mental health is beginning to drift very low for some
