Homework over the weekend or holidays provides no true break for students. Instead of students relaxing with the little time or days they have, they are pushing to complete homework/assignments. Over time this eventually burns them out causing them to enter a bad mental state where they constantly feel tired, pressured, and unmotivated. Everyone needs a break every once in a while, with homework for students to do nonstop they get no sort of break or time for themselves. Homework also makes students tired because they stay up late to complete all of their assignments by the end of the day. They get home from school just to continue to work, homework usually takes 3-4 hours throughout the day. After doing work at school for 6 hours they come home to work for another 4 hours, this means students are working around 9 hours of their day on just doing homework/school related things. With no proper sleep they eventually start failing or they start pushing themselves over the limit of how much they can take before they completely give up. I truly advise teachers to give their students a break, think about the fact that you are not the only one giving them work. Remember they still have 6 or more classes that they get work from. If you are a student, teacher, or a parent I strongly suggest signing this petition for either a student's sake, your sake, or your child's sake. I really believe that this will show an increase in better mental health in students. Please share this so we can fight for these changes together.
