An Open Letter to Teachers from your Students
Dear Teachers, We know that you have a difficult job. From what we hear, grading homework and tests, planning activities and going to meetings takes up a lot of your time. In addition, we know that we can be a handful at times, too. While we may not always show it, we really respect what you do, and no, we can't do your job even though at times we say and act otherwise. With that being said, there are a few things we would like you to keep in mind when you are planning lessons and interacting with us throughout the school day: 1. Please consider toning down the amount of homework you assign us each night. We know that when you assign homework you don't mean to keep us busy all night, but if you give a half hour of homework and so do our other six teachers, that means that we will have 3 1/2 hours of homework each night. After we finish practice, dinner, and a spend a little time on Facebook, the only way we can get that much homework done is by staying up much later
