[quote=Anonymous]"Armed with neuroscience, self-analysis and common sense, some of New York City’s most competitive high schools, famed for their Marine-like mentality when it comes to homework, have begun to lighten the load for fear of crushing their teenage charges." http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/24/education/24homework.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all Makes sense to me, especially the idea of teachers from different classes coordinating assignments and test schedules to help even out the workload. That seems like an easy step to avoid overloading students. As just one example of how it could be done, all math classes schedule tests only for Mondays, all science classes only for Tuesdays, English on Wednesdays, Languages on Thursdays, and History on Fridays. That won't eliminate duplication, especially since each student takes a different slate of classes, but it might lessen the chance of overload.[/quote]
