Reduce the Amount of Homework Assigned in Our Schools

The Issue

My friend, a diligent and dedicated student, has been struggling to maintain their grades due to an overwhelming amount of homework. This is not an isolated case; many students in our community are facing similar challenges. The excessive workload is causing stress and anxiety among students which can lead to serious health issues.

Research suggests that while homework can be beneficial, too much of it can be counterproductive. 

In Naperville, IL where we live, we believe our children's well-being should be prioritized over excessive academic pressure. We urge our school administrators to reassess their policies on homework assignments and align them with recommended guidelines for healthier learning environments.

My friend has had to do homework on vacation and comeback to do more.

Please sign this petition if you believe in creating a balanced educational system that promotes learning without compromising on our children's mental and physical health.
