During covid 19 students at Wakefield and the United States of America are struggling to get their homework done. During class it Is hard to pay attention and focus and a lot of times you don't get your work to especially during online learning. After school they should not have to be doing homework for another five hours. Their is a pandemic going on and at home their is wifi problems and students are staring at screens for too long. students should be having at least thirty minutes outside time a day. Especially in hard AP classes students should not be getting the same difficulty of assignments students should at the most be doing 2.5 hours of homework a night. It's just not fair we need to lower the amount of homework students do. It's making them more stressed, it's taking away from fun activities, and Monday is technically a weekend with TA and office hours you should not have a timed assignment or any assignment that you need to start and finish on Monday. Please sign this and make Wakefield less stressful.

December 15, 2020

I am currently organizing the feedback from students regarding specific classes that exceed the requested homework limits. These accounts are being compiled into a formal report to present to the school administration during our upcoming requested meeting.

December 15, 2020

The administration has acknowledged the momentum behind these concerns and has agreed to a meeting next week to discuss homework policy revisions. I am currently drafting a formal proposal that outlines the specific constraints on nightly assignments and Monday deadlines. Expect a summary of the outcomes from that meeting once it concludes.
