I saw this - it's disgusting...
I disagree. High schoolers are overworked. Between extra-curriculars, family life, homework, and social life, high schoolers often have to make sacrifices of one over the other and these are not sacrifices that teen-agers are well-equipped to make and that is why so many of them are so miserable.
I don't think the yoga should be required as it currently is but there needs to be some relief for students. High school is relatively fresh in my memory and I wouldn't have minded not having homework over holidays.
In fact, homework for high school and middle-school should be abolished completely. This might seem like an immature statement to make but having school monday through friday for at least 6 hours per day is enough to make one's brain explode.
At least in college one can schedule friday off and get work done before the weekend if one chooses to.
