Dear Fairfax county public schools students of high schools and middle schools,
As of April 21st fcps sent out an email to our google apps account for a survey that we as students are being asked to take regarding homework and grades. On the last question they ask for other comments on what we think about how much homework we get and i had said that homework is causing us to have a lack in sleep and that it was the amount of homework that caused us to stay up late and not be alert and ready for tests. If they wish for us to get better grades then they better cut down on our homework. With us having to do so much homework we never have enough time for our families or just some plain old down time to ourselves. We don’t need homework on the weekends. Which brings up the fact that breaks are a time for chilling out and relaxing not a time for studying. They say we deserve time to relax and get away from school but how can we do that if we have so much homework? Homework has deadlines. Too many deadlines cause stress. Stress causes our grades to fall. Need i say more. So if you want our voice to be heard i suggest taking that survey and telling them what you really think about homework and the amount of stress and lack of sleep it causes.
