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.

District homework survey sees mixed results

Palo Alto High School nurse Jennifer Kleckner waits for students to check into the health office during lunch on Jan. 20. With the return of students to campus, cases have severely increased due to the rapidly spreading Omicron variant. According to Kleckner, keeping schools open has been the primary goal for this year. My only big worry is when I see people indoors not keeping their masks over their noses or when there are large gaps, Kleckner said. (Photo: Leena Hussein)

Palo Alto High School’s Madrigals Choir performs a skit during the fall concert last Friday. Wearing an authentic madrigals dress, Senior Cate Dyer walks to the front of the stage holding a magazine as she preludes the next song they will perform. Its so fun putting on these fun dresses, though I get nervous I might trip when I walk in them, Dyer said. (Photo: Maia Johnsson)
