Prevent giving students assignments during spring break.

The Issue

Students are constantly overwhelmed by all the work they are given in class, several different assignments with multiple deadlines. This amount of work in such little time isn't healthy for students and could cause stress, depression, fatigue, etc. Throughout the 9 months off school, there are breaks in between to give students a moment to relax and not have to stress, so do the teachers, but sometimes there are some teachers that will assign work to students during their break making them just as stress and making them feel like they don't even have a break. For years people have been dealing with this but never taken action, now is the time to end this and let students have their well-deserved break after all of their hard work.
