Problem Statement: The students of the Brockport High School are sick and tired of receiving hours of homework throughout the course of their academic school careers. Students are to be held responsible to complete hours of homework after being held captive in a school for 7-8 hours, to then complete the day after. The studies of Stanford show that homework causes the student to experience greater stress, reductions in health, and less time for friends, family and extracurricular pursuits.

Major Ideas:

Reduce the amount of homework given in schools

Teachers should converse/interact with one another about how much homework should be given to their students on a daily basis

Talk to the student council of the school to bring about the idea of limiting homework to the rest of the grade/school

Get a representative to bring about the idea of limiting homework to the Congress

Pass a law/act to limit the homework rate to less than 1.5 hrs/day

Students should rebel against the school's homework policies

Peaceful protesting

Students should refuse to complete any homework until the school/teachers decide to reduce the amount of homework given to their students

Students should put up posters around the school on the issues/effects homework has on them as a student of the school

Stop Homework 2014 speeches

Stop Homework 2014 rallies/marches
