This is personal because I play sports and have afterschool activities that homework causes me to push back. Also, people I know have been majorly affected by homework. Excessive homework can lead to stress, sleep deprivation, and a lack of balance between academic and personal life. According to the American Psychological Association, 45% of students report feeling stressed "all the time" due to schoolwork. It's time for schools to recognize the importance of student well-being and reduce the amount of homework assigned. Please sign this petition to support healthier lifestyles for students everywhere!
