Relief

Hi,

This is just a hypothetical situation. Let's say that the area where I live is plaqued with frequent fires in the warmer months of the year and that a friend of mine is a volunteer firefighter who helps put the fires out. The problem is that it pulls his focus from school because he's constantly in the field. Could I use the word 'relief' if I was talking about the school and how he should be eligible for different tratment than the rest of the students?

"The school should give him relief from some of the workload."

Thank you.

Ann225 The school should give him relief from some of the workload. Fine. Another phrasing that occurred to me was this: The school should ease up on his workload.
