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
First, schools should not change their start times because it helps parents as well. One reason how that supports my claim is older kids can help younger children. When kids in middle and high school get home before their parents so they
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.
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
A regular school day is 8 hours, but if they extend school to 10 hours students will not be used to it and stop listening. When that happens they will not remember a lot of things, and their scores will go down. Also, they will have to not be able to do after school activities, and after school activities can help students to make more friends. If they can not make more friends, then their social development will not grow and children need that in their life if they want to have a successful
Introduction:I disagree with adding another hour of school because the students don't need to be at school all day.They need to be at home so they can rest,do other things.
First of all, the school board should not extend the school day because students will lack attention and lose energy. Making extra class time will be ineffective. Also, when students are tired, it will make the last hour useless. When they could be relaxing at home, some students suffer from post-lunch attention deficit syndrome, which is
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.
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.
One reason I am against adding more hours to the school day is because students will be more tired. The school board and many parents like the idea of having
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.
The school board plans to add one and a half hours to school each day, and I don’t think that's a good idea. For one, most kids don’t get enough sleep at night, and by 3:07 they’re ready to go home and go to sleep. If we extend school hours most kids will be sleeping in class, and then won’t be learning anything. Second, most kids parents work at different times and that would just mess their schedule up. Say if the child parents needs to be at work at 3:20, and needs there child to be there to take care of their little siblings. If we get out later than 3:07 it would mess that up. Last but not least, it would be good for those who like to afternoon activities, but still it would be a long time staying at school. I think the school board shouldn't
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
In my opinion, new teaching strategies would help more than more length to the school year. According to Carla Rivera of the Los Angeles Times who wrote “Ed research varies over whether extending the calendar year leads to increased student achievement. Expanded time with the same teachers and curriculum doesn’t automatically mean increased test scores.” So, ten more minutes will not make me any smarter. I believe worthwhile results for many students did happen because our teachers looked at the specific needs for their students at school. I know the students in my class go to get extra help on their special needs. Most of our teachers work really hard to learn and use new teaching strategies. And I know our superior Marshalltown teachers are doing a superb job.
For centuries, schools have stolen more and more of a student’s valuable time to place them behind a desk covered in worksheets and quizzes. Any student asked what they dislike about school will say that an eight-hour day is grueling on their mind and body. This means that a ten-hour school day for four days is certainly unattainable. Changing the school day to ten hours would make students more apt to dislike going to school and learning, which is not what educators want. Schools should not use the ten-hour school day because extracurricular activities would end too late for students to have time for homework or family time, schools would have to acquire resources to provide two meals a day, and students would struggle to adjust to a must longer class schedule.
