Senior Ariana Wermer-Colan, however, said that she still spent a significant amount of time studying. "It's too competitive not to," she said. Schools are increasingly giving students less homework and concentrating instead on making the best use of the time the students spend in the school buildings, the Journal article notes. Wermer-Colan, while looking forward to another homework-free vacation in February, is concerning herself with college applications. She's applied to 11 schools. -- Adam Sell Posted by the Boston Globe City & Region Desk at 09:26 AM
