Its students were overburdened and stressed out, having to cope with too much work and too many demands.

2.White and Asian-American parents responded differently to Aderhold’s appeal.
C
解析：该段第一句提到，阿德霍尔德的这封信并没有把学生家长们团结在一起，反而暴露了这个有着9700名学生的学区存在巨大的分歧——这一分歧大致以种族为分界线。接着指出，分歧双方分别是白人家长和亚裔美国家长。题干中的responded differently对应原文中的divide，故答案为C。
