Dear HSE Admin,

We are tired. We are extremely stressed. We have been working hard for you and trying to meet your expectations despite issues we are having at home. We would like to urge you to hear our needs. We need our classwork to be reduced and our outside time claimed as a right, not a privilege. We need to be able to take breaks and socialize with our peers. We are struggling to have our basic needs met and we need you to meet us where we are at. We would like to propose that you send us weekly surveys to fill out about different topics so we can voice our opinions and our needs. Some of us are having serious issues at home and cannot focus on school. Please hear our voices and be on our team and support us.

Updates

April 22, 2021

I have been reading through the comments you all left and I am honestly overwhelmed by how much we share the same exhaustion. I am currently reaching out to some teachers to see if they might be willing to help us bridge the gap with the administration. Thank you for trusting me with your experiences because none of this would be happening without your openness.

I stay up past 11 pm everyday doing work just so I am caught up in school and don’t get in trouble and it puts a mental strain on us as students I wake up everyday exhausted by the amount of work and pressure I have just by simply being a student and I am quite sure many other students go through the same troubles as I

I think we need more sleep hours. The reason some people can't take classes seriously is because of short sleep hours. Now yeah, we can stay up late and that's our own fault, but everyone (and I mean everyone, from middle school to teachers) needs the sleep they need. Jjust a thought.

It’s so hard to focus at home and the teachers begging us to the the work when we have more stuff to do at home. Also it’s so hard to do it online because we get so confused where all the work is and I just don’t get it I’m so CONFUSED!.

It hurts my mental health when I dont get a lot of sleep beause of these type of punishments. It can be reaally stressful already for those kids who have stuff going on at home and for those who dont really understand things and get 0 help at home... it's dreadful to know people have to stress about whats going on at home and loads of school work. This causes more kids to have more lack of motivation

i think we need to soicialize face to face and we should have more time to do this today they made us stay inside to do work instead of letting us go outside which i think is wrong and it shouldn't be a privelege it should be a necessarity.
