Student poll: Should teachers be allowed to assign homework during breaks?

“No. It is a time for family, friends, and focusing on everything in our lives that we appreciate, not being overwhelmed with school work. I just see breaks as a time that should be spent doing things we may not get to do during the school year that we really enjoy. I feel like making sure that we have enough time to do what makes us happy and healthy should be the first priority during a break.”– Caroline Divney, Titan

“[Break is] a time for students to take rest and rejuvenate themselves to get them ready to head into the last part of the semester and finals with full force… Though it is important to make sure students remain in touch with the content of each class while they are out of school, this can be achieved with small assignments that may take up half an hour or so a day, such as reviewing flashcards…”– Preyasi Kumar, Titan
