Should the school board add on one and a half hour ? The school board should not add on one and a half hours to our school hours, because some kids might have another job, some have sports to do, they might have something important to do. The reason they shouldn’t add on a hour and a half is because some kids or teachers might have another job to attend. Most teachers have a second job they have to be at .…
First, more school hours can overwhelm children. The school day stresses many kids with all the homework and work they have to do. In the article from Scope,by Tod Olson, ”A survey from the American Psychological Association found that during the school year, students stress levels spike. Nearly a third of respondents said they were “overwhelmed” by the pressure (Pg.31). This information from the article shows how kids can get stressed from hours of school so extending them would be an atrocious idea.…
One study showed that longer school days resulted in a big jump in test scores, Some Students just really need the extra time so they could understand their lessons. Also, some students believe that it might be because more time in class could improve the quality of interactions with teachers; Helping…
We wouldn’t have to go to school longer than we need to. Each school day would be only five minutes longer. There would be a little bit more time to learn. Those are the reasons we should add five more minutes to school days. We would would have a longer summer, adding two weeks.…
Do you really want longer school years? Making school years longer for children would make it harder because they wouldn’t do any work or not even care. One reason I think that their should not be longer school years is to have children do things outside of school. Also the shorter the school year will be the more they have to learn and study. Therefore, I believe that the more time kids spend in school the less time they'll have outside of school.…
Have you ever wanted school to start later, well that can have a huge ripple effect. When I say a huge ripple effect, I don't mean a good ripple effect. Have you thought about the impact not just on students, but teachers and parents? Changing school start times to a later time will be very costly, have a huge negative impact on parents, and ruin after school activities. Changing school start times to a later time will be super expensive.…
They should not be forced to go all year round to school. The school year should not be longer because it gives the students more tension. Firstly, school stress students out regularly and they need a long break. If the school just makes the school year longer, it will stress the kids out even more. According to statistics, teens have the most tension from school.…
School should start later. Don’t you agree? If you don’t, keep reading so you can most likely change your mind. There are a ton of reasons supporting why school should start later. But, here are my reasons.…
Students with normal school days already have a hard time staying awake in class let alone adding another hour to the day. Some schools now have one more hour than others but it doesn't make it a good thing. Schools should not be lengthened by one hour because it would be harder on the students to get up in the morning, students that play sports would have a harder time getting to practice, and students would have less time after school to do things they like. One disadvantage of schools adding another hour is that students would have a harder time with waking up early. Most students in middle school get up at around 7:00 to get ready for school if they were to add another hour into the end of the day students would get home at a later time…
This change would affect the future of the students, the activities and responsibilities of these students, and the bus schedules, causing great danger for the younger children. The risk a change places on younger students is not worth additional sleep for older students. Therefore, school start times should remain the…
The average high school day at the American public school is 6 hours long, there is roughly an hour for each class. While an hour seems to be an adequate amount of time for each lesson it does not account for interruptions, delays, or announcements made in each class. If these delays were counted, then a class would only be 36 minutes averagely; this is not enough time to teach a new lesson and have students understand it fully. The school day should be extended so that a class can have a longer class period. Extending the school day may not be favored by students and some parents, but it will help students in the future and make parents more aware of the importance of an education that will have a lasting impression.…
Students are overworking their brains and their bodies. “Longer school days could result in attention deficit and fatigue, making the extra class time ineffective.” By shortening the school days, students will have more time to focus on other things. Students will have more time to study for upcoming tests or quizzes, and would still have time to socialize. Students will have more time to sleep or rest which results in students staying…
Have you had a three day weekend and thought that it would be great if you could have that every weekend? Right at the moment school boards are discussing whether or not it would be appropriate to extend the school days by two hours and get rid of Fridays, giving the students a break in the morning and possibly extending their lunches also. Many people especially students are excited and hopeful that the schools will get to use this opportunity. The schools should not do four day weeks because the time students should be spending in the class room would be spent on breaks, the students would not have time in the afternoons to do anything including homework, and students will get restless.…
There are people that want school days to be shortened and others that want school days to be longer. I believe that the school days should be shorter because a large amount of time is wasted during study halls and when they are given in class time assignments. It would be better if school days were shortened because they would have less time to work on assignments because they would not work on them anyways. Some would like to be with their families since their…
Schools barely have enough time to teach kids what they need to know for standardized tests. Rahm Emmanuel, the mayor of Chicago and a supporter of longer school days, said in an interview that because schools don’t have time, “students [essentially] have to pick between social studies versus science; math versus music; reading versus recess." (Schaper, 2012) At least one extra month of school would leave the door open to a lot of learning possibilities. Kids leave grade school and are not prepared for what is ahead of them.…
