In this video, students feel overwhelmed by the excessive homework and tests. Parents feel that school work, extra curricular activates, AP courses are getting in the way of family time. A student feels that everyday feels like a daily routine, having to deal with AP courses and cross country. However, some students feel like they aren't being challenged enough, and need to take AP in order to feel like they're learning. In this particular case, students take these classes to make their learning experience more interesting, and brain stimulating. Some teachers have assigned a no-homework policy, and are actually giving the students the breathing room they need. Parents still feel that, "We still have to back off."
