Palo Alto High School principal Phil Winston plans to deploy Rjenda to get objective data on the amount of homework, tests, and activities that students are juggling, as noted in a recent article (on August 19, 2011) in the Palo Alto Weekly written by Chris Kenrick.
Phil Winston says, “So often we work anecdotally — ‘My son or daughter spent ‘x’ number of hours on this assignment.’ My hope is to provide Paly and our community with some data so we can start having conversations around what’s reasonable and what’s excessive.”
The article highlights Rjenda’s core mission and its unique solution around student workload and stress. We are extremely pleased by this cooperation with Paly and look forward to enabling meaningful discussions based on real data.
Thanks,
The Rjenda Team
