Junior Audrey Guo completes AP US History homework in the library during her prep. Many students at Palo Alto High School take rigorous course loads, leading to large amounts of homework. This has led to the school district implementing new restrictions and guidelines for homework at the middle and high school levels, the effect of which is assessed in a new survey. “I think that the stigma surrounding college admissions — how you need to take so many competitive classes in order to get into a so-called “good college” — is really the thing that is causing all this stress and causing these policies to need to be implemented in the first place.” Xiang said.

Student board representative and Gunn High School senior Arjun Prabhakar voices his opinion on building affordable housing for teachers at a Board of Education meeting on Tuesday. Prabhakar expressed his support for the proposal, saying that if teachers had the time to attend afterschool events instead of spending the time commuting, relationships between students and teachers would improve. “Teachers being able to go to plays, sports games, all those things where you can see teachers in an out-of-classroom context and maybe get to know them better would definitely help all students feel more comfortable with their teachers, Prabhakar said.
