Slow the workload during e-learning
The Issue
Over the course of this school year homework has begun to reach an all-time high reaching many more hours than if we were in school. This problem is because of 2 things: less time in class and teachers add "a little more homework to it" in every single class. This in turn adds 1-2 more hours per day to everyone's work if everything goes smoothly. But you forget that this is remote learning: the amount of distractions, stress, and lack of socialization makes it extremely hard to get that work done. Instead of the 1-2 hours more it increases it by 3-4 hours and adds even more stress onto the pile that was caused by quarantine. Please lower the amount of work out of class so people can keep up. The grades of students have gotten far below the curve and some people have the chance of failing if this keeps going like this. We need the teachers and staff members to see this so please sign it so we can get their attention and bring this issue to light.
