Are you tired of the extremely long and boring classes? Are you tired of the homework that doesn’t really help you learn at all? Do you think that the grading system is extremely ineffective? Does school give you anxiety and pressure? Do you often find it hard to wake up at such early times as a teenager? If your answer is yes to any of these, sign this petition! The school board doesn’t realize that times are changing, and they don’t change their outdated ways of teaching. Things that take hours to teach in classrooms can be learned in mere minutes on YouTube and google. When you learn by yourself, you can go at you own pace, and you don’t have to feel bad about yourself because you didn’t do countless pages of repetitive homework. 90% of most assignments are also pretty useless for learning. They are extremely repetitive, and if you don’t do them, you will get a bad grade, which leads to pressure and anxiety. Sleep deprivation is also very common at school. I would say almost everyone is sleep derived at least once a week. This is because the strict school starting time. Teenagers naturally sleep later than others, and there is actual scientific proof behind this! To sum it up, what I’m trying to say is that school focuses too much on their outdated resources with long and boring texts, which are very inefficient in actually teaching anything. School starts too early. And that the grading system is making kids depressed. And finally, the majority of assignments are a waste of time and don’t help with learning.
