Northwestern professor says students face academic death from heavy workloads
Dr. L. Car roll King, a Northwestern University chemistry professor, warned at a symposium that thousands of high school students are driven to academic death by overlong schedules. He argues 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. classes and 7 p.m. to midnight homework exhaust students, leaving them tired, defeated, and unprepared for college. He urges rest and a slower, more reasonable pace for education.
