Daily homework overload appears to be affecting some students' mental and emotional health as well reinforcing a distaste of school and education in general.
The lack of coordinated amount and type of homework practices at our school district is becoming a risk factor for student's mental health.
In adherence to new policies adopted by some of the most competitive schools in the country**, We the students and parents of the New Hope Solebury School who undersign are petitioning to the school superintendent, school principals and all teachers:
1. Immediate adoption and enforcement of school homework policy to avoid work overload during after school hours.
2. Homework reduction on weekends.
3. No homework on family holidays and school breaks as recently adopted by 74 schools nationwide.
4.Increased coordination of projects and homework assignments by teachers.
5.Increased school awareness of the negative impact work overload has on students learning and mental health.
