Did you know that the school board wants to add an extra hour and a half to our school day? Its completely insane! It makes you think about something, how will this affect our lives if they actually add an hour and a half? Well three reasons they should not add more time are After School activities, our schedules, and all the student’s reactions.
First of all, After School activities will be affected.Many students and teachers will have to spend less time doing their activities because of the extra time they spend in school learning teaching. If they do not add or lessen the amount of time used after school, then students and teachers will not get home until around dinner time! Due to this new time schedule, some parents will not allow their kids to join these activities. Speaking of after school, many people who play sports will not get the practice time they need. Unless coaches add more practice days, which will tire students who have to play almost every day, they will not get enough practice for their sport. I personally would want more time to practice Marching band more in one day instead of a little every day.

Longer classes will stress out students who already dislike school! The stress will cause many students to freak out. If I remember correctly, teachers already spend more time at school than students, this time extension will make the adults stay at school until about five o'clock! One more thought is, What if a student has an activity after school that they do, for an example, my sister has choir and GA’s at church on Wednesday around five o’clock. If my sister had school until 4:30 she would not have much time to get homework done, eat dinner, prepare to leave, and get there in time! It is like asking to make her late to her activities that she
The one reason why schools should stay at the same times is because Students who participate in sports, or other extracurricular activities typically meet for several hours after school. If school times are later, that means that these activities would continue later on in the day. This would make it difficult for students to participate and still have enough time to study, finish homework, participate in social activities, get to work on time and still get to bed at a decent
A disadvantage that would be made is, if the end of the school day is 3:00pm for middle schoolers and it takes 30 minutes for the hallways to clear out, then there wouldn’t be enough time if everyone in the school is supposed to be out of the school by 4:00pm. Which would leave less than half an hour for the students to do whatever they need to. As well as if the student is in a sport and they only practice after school and they have an important game coming up, the students would be at a higher risk of losing during that competition since they don’t have as much time to practice after school. In addition to this, if there are more people staying after school, they would need to hire more bus drivers which would mean an increase in money that is being used every day or even every school
This leads to many stresses in addition to car crashes on school roads due to sleepiness as well as dangerous drivers on the road. Even if it is an hour difference, it would help both parents and students. School days need to start later for the reasoning of the students bodies not functioning correctly, it is causing a lot of stress for everyone along with having to adjust the students attitude to a positive attitude to have an enjoyable time at school. Having school days starting early is causing many awful sleeping habits which can lead to a poor disorder around the
The main concern is that students will stay up later instead of using the extra time for sleep. In past decisions to delay school hours this issue has come up, but after a year of this schedule, a school in Edina, Minnesota found that their students did use the extra time for sleep. Another concern is missing after school activities. This should not be held over students’ health. If they were to miss the first hour or so of an activity not already pushed back by the school, chances are the activity leader (teacher, coach, what have you) would be willing to make an acception or reschedule if all of their middle schoolers were in school. Education should come as the first priority, and all else should follow based on that.
The next question everyone would ask is what about extracurricular activities like sports and marching band. Sports would start at the same time and just might be a little difficult for coaches to have everything ready earlier. The result is still playing the game and all the players be so well rested. The result in all this is better rested player’s people having a better time in class and not falling asleep as much and getting homework done easier.
First of all, one third of a school usually plays sports, and those sports are after school. So if the school board adds more time to the school day then sports will be pushed back. If they are not pushed back then they are in the morning, and if they are in the morning then they mess up their whole sleep schedule. Plays, extracurricular activities, and everything else taking place after school will also be effected if they increase the length of the school day. If students participate in plays and other activities in the morning then that may have an effect on their sleep schedule, and it may cause their brain to not be able to process as much so they will not remember.
How would you feel if the school board extended your school day by an hour and a half? Currently the school day is about 8 hours and I think 9 and a half hours would be too long. The school board should not extend the school day because students would lose energy to focus and lack attention, their scores would not improve, and more time does not mean more learning.
If an hour and half of school were added every day, students would miss after school activities. Students will miss the fun extracurricular activities. and students won’t get the exercise they need.
The government should not extend school hours.it is not healthy for the kids.it can cause depression. It can also cause long term brain damage.it very unhealthy it will cause their center focus to be on school only not on their family or their friends. The consequences can be back problems because the more school they get the more subjects they the more homework they have. If you or if the government encourages or extends school hours the students will surely overload and they will surely have depression low self esteem and all these kind of stuff.
There are many schools around the nation that are beginning to add one and a half hours of more work to school each day. Although our school has not done this yet, the school board is already working on the idea. I firmly disagree with the idea of school hours being extended even longer than they already are. To begin with, if the school board adds time onto school hours, then they are simply taking time away from our families. Also, the faster we get home, the more time we have to complete our homework. Finally, most kids are already exhausted by the end of the day as it is. As can be seen, there is absolutely no reason at all that the school board should extend the school hours by an hour and a half.
Introduction: I think that it is comletely stupid to add 1 hour and a half each day. Kids would lose so much as sleep, hunger, and going places with their friends and families. And students would get annoyed by other students by being stuck in the same class period with them for even longer that there would be more fights. Also by the time students get out of school and get home from sports they don’t have time to study or time to hang with friends. Body Paragraph 1: In my opinion they should not add more time to school each day, students will lose so much just for an hour and a half each day.
School should not be any longer than it is because it will cause too much stress. A reason why this would cause a lot of stress is because of kids not have enough time to finish anything like homework, if a kid comes back from school around 4:00pm or 3:30pm and will have to got to sleep around 8:30pm or 9:00 and will have to do an hour or two doing homework or studying for the next day of school. Another reason of why it would cause stress on kid is because kids would probably think that they won't
Equally important, activities outside of school would be shortened if the school day or year was longer. For me, that means my time for, in my opinion, the best sport ever, football would be shorter, even though it is already really short. Besides kids need to learn to make their own decisions. For me that means, I have to think about exercising, nutrition, and showing up on time and being ready to
School should not be extended for various reasons. Students and teachers need time to spend with their families. There wouldn't be enough time to work as a student. Teachers and students would be exhausted and tired
Firstly, a ten-hour school day is not beneficial because extracurricular activities would start and end much too late for students to do their homework or spend time with family. Many students are given two or more hours of homework every night; if a sport or debate team doesn’t end their competition until 10:30 pm, when will they have time to do it? Requiring students to stay up until midnight or later completing their homework is bad for their health and makes for poor effort on their work. Also, many students are very devoted to spending time with their families, and if they aren’t getting home until late at night, they wouldn’t be able to do that. This new schedule could create a social disconnect between
