> Homework should be abolished
As a child, and now as an adult, I've always thought homework was an insane proposition. If you had a job where you showed up in person for 7 (realistically more than 7) hours a day, but then assigned arbitrary multi-hour long projects afterhours, you'd quit, 1000%.
> In my opinion, 8AM is too early.
First bell for us was 7:18. Meaning the bus showed up at 6:30. Meaning wake up was 5:45.
Looking back, my four years of high school were probably the worst years of my life. I'm glad, at least for a brief minute, current high school students are getting some kind of reprieve.
