Since freshman year, students have felt constantly overwhelmed with the workload and learned to accept it. However, with the current circumstances it is no longer acceptable. Sacrificing our college applications to prioritize our homework shouldn't be yet another one of the issues we are currently facing. Beacon constantly claims that they are working to provide better mental health resources, but continue to ignore our requests for less work. So, we are asking for just three days of no new assignments. Please allow your students to take care of themselves, and do not try to take advantage of this time to sneakily assign work. In return, Beacon students will return with better mental stamina, and relief that we have had time to truly make a dent in our supplements. We hope that teachers (and an administration) that truly cares about their students will listen to our request.
