HOW TO DO LESS HOMEWORK IN CLASS
Student life, between classwork and tests, can be really difficult: you never finish preparing for one because you have to study for the other right away. In this way, you risk never lifting your nose from your books and not having a moment to breathe: but are we sure that teachers can do as they please? Let’s see together what the School Regulations, which every school has, say and how to do less homework in class. In the School Regulations, it is possible to insert rules that limit or in any case regulate the number of classwork and school tests that teachers can impose ; this regulation can be modified by the School Council , which includes student representatives. In three simple sentences, everything you need to regulate the number of classwork in your school.
TOO MUCH HOMEWORK? NO THANKS – This doesn’t mean, obviously, that you can prevent teachers from proposing tests, after all, it’s their job : but you can regulate them, yes. For example, thanks to the work of your Institute representatives, you can ensure that teachers can’t schedule too many tests at once.
A STUDENT’S RIGHT
This right is contained in the “Statute of students”, in which it is mentioned several times; even the official website of the ministry confirms that “the school regulation is the implementation of the Statute in each school: it must therefore declare the methods, spaces and times of action of the students, it must establish the rules that guarantee the respect of the rights and duties by all the school components”.
In particular, the regulation is the concrete implementation of the Educational Offer Plan , and therefore must be written by “a commission in which all the school components are represented”, including the students. Usually the school regulation is modified by the School Council, after the non-binding opinion of the Teachers’ Board. You can therefore take action with your school representative so that he or she raises the issue of creating or modifying the school regulation in these very terms, in the next Board of Directors.
