Hanke to re-establish the “Homework Committee”. We both spoke about this topic and shared our concerns in person.Īfter that meeting I was asked to join the “Wellness Committee” and Tim McCarthy was asked by Dr. Since this letter was published my daughter and I attended a Dublin School Board meeting on Oct. And when I’m passionate about a topic such as this one, I will do whatever I can to help make the changes necessary. I am not the type of person to complain about something and then “hope” that something will change. I wanted to take a moment of your time to get you up to date from where we last left off after this article was published. I’m suggesting that Dublin be the leader in change and let others follow us! Let’s reduce the amount of homework, let them sleep an extra hour, and let them be kids again! I’m certain the results you see will be life changing for every family in the City of Dublin. Please, I urge you to give these kids back their lives before something drastic happens to them.

I am asking that you place this item on your next agenda and begin the change now… not next year, not two years later, but NOW while we still have the opportunity to see the positive effects of something as simple as this. If this is the case, then we need to heed the words of wisdom from other schools that have already implemented changes (as noted in the documentary Race to Nowhere) before the problem becomes worse and we start losing our kids to drugs, alcohol, and even suicide as escapes from the stress that has been created by homework overload and a lack of sleep. We have also found that teachers themselves are not following the District’s current homework policy which calls for less homework.Īfter reading several articles on the importance of sleep it caused me to ponder, “Why has the Dublin Unified School District continued to push our students to the brink of over-scheduling, over-testing, and the relentless pressure to achieve”? It’s not worth it! What is worth it is well-balanced, happy, contented students that have time for extracurricular activities, family, church, sports and time to just be kids! We don’t need our students to disengage, have stress-related illness like burnout, anxiety, depression, and unfortunately even suicide.ĭublin High School has consistently tried to raise the bar and keep up with surrounding schools. In addition to having to stay at school longer each day, teachers are piling on even more homework because classroom periods have been shortened and teachers seem to believe the misconception that the students will get all of this extra homework completed during the Gael Period. There is no way to 'opt out' or 'suppress' the NPPES record data for health care providers with active NPIs.We were all hopeful that the extra “ Gael Period” would alleviate the amount of homework, however we have found it has only made the situation worse.
