Lessen workload for high school students during quarantine
The Issue
During quarantine and distance learning, most teachers have been assigning more homework to compensate for the shorter times students spend in class. As a current sophomore, I find that I have been spending more time working on homework than I did before distance learning. I know that teachers are working hard to try and adjust to distance learning, but when all of your teachers are assigning more work than ever, it gets hard to manage. I have many friends who have complained of staying up until 11 or 12 pm doing homework, only to have more assigned the next day. Many people I know have complained of being stressed from the workload they receive. Distance learning is hard for many people, and I know that teachers are trying their best to help all of their students, but assigning more work is not a good solution.
