Reduce Time Spent on Homework

The Issue

We are Girl Scout Troop 11496 of North Georgia. In our community we have observed that hundreds of students are overwhelmed by the extraneous amount of homework that is given to them nightly. This excessive amount of homework has many detrimental effects to the mental health of students, including sleep deprivation and heightened stress levels. Homework also occupies students' already limited free time. Our mission is to reduce time spent on homework for students in the Northern region of Georgia, so students may have more time to do what they enjoy without worrying about schoolwork. Sign this to help us achieve that goal and share with your fellow Georgians! Thank you in advance!
