Benefits Of Extending School

There is no reason why schools shouldn’t extend the school day. The obvious solution to these problems is just to extend the school day and turn it into the four day week. Changing this can help the students now and the soon to be students by giving them a better learning experience and end up doing better in life in general. The extended school day has been used in some schools across the U.S. and has proven to work just as or better than the normal day. The extended school day will not only affect the lives of the students helping them to succeed it will also better our society if the next generation of workers are well educated and

Everyone has wanted to have more time after school for homework and other things that you like to do? Well i think that school days should be shorter and mostly everyone agrees. Students would have more time for homework and other activities after school. Teachers would also have spare time to grade papers and come up with new assignments.

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 school board plans to add one and a half hours to school each day. Do you agree or disagree? I disagree strongly on this topic because school is already stressful and having to do one hour and a half of work each school day probably make us just absolutely hate school. That one hour and a half can change a lot, because of being so bored because could do some very dumb things which could cause people's lives to be changed.

Many parents and students believe that school starts too early,I agree with them school hours should be pushed back.But some may argue why would this be necessary,or what can this change affect them. This change is beneficial for the students,in many ways such as conduct,grades,and tardies that is why pushing back school one hour will help and I will tell you how.

Expanding the school calendar will not only lessen the burden of having a limited amount of time to teach everything in the curriculum, but will also make up for lost school hours. This in turn will also decrease the cramming of tests into one semester. Of course going through with any of these plans would mean an increase in school finances and budgeting, which public schools lack since 2011.

For example, a sixth grader has basketball practice everyday after school and it does not even end until five thirty. If the school board added the extension, school will end at four forty five. For that reason, the sixth grader may not be able to play basketball anymore. Not only with sports, but with clubs. Some clubs even help students with bringing grades up. Imagine how hard an extension may be on staff. Most of them have kids, their own homes, and tasks to complete in order to keep their family alive. Time in staffs’ lives is as important as the presidential election. To conclude, the more time spent in a classroom is less time to get very important tasks

Some people say that extending school hour's is a bad thing for multiple reason's.I strongly disagree because their are many benefit's to extending school hour's to start at a later time.For example, if state's moved schools hour's to a later time their would be increased performance and reduced absences.There would also be a reduced number of student's falling asleep in class's and much more.

Imagine sitting at a desk all day listening to a teacher drone on and hand you a worksheet right after that. Well if your school day was 9 hours and 30 minutes instead of 8 hours, then that's what you would have to do. You would be there till 4:30 in the afternoon. Who wants to be there for that with only lunch as a break? Every class would be about 18 minutes longer. Which is why I don’t agree with schools extending the day because it can cause sleep deprivation, result in more kids getting in trouble, and more kids zoning out.

I strongly disagree with the decision of my school board, Dickenson County School Board, for making the decision to extend the school day an hour and a half. I believe that this decision will not help the students or staff who are affected by this decision. Extending the school day is a horrible decision because we go to school long enough as it is, also students and staff cannot do the activities after school that they enjoy. Lastly, addition to more time at school will cause students to stress more than they already do. I believe the school board should listen to the people who will be affected by this decision before a massive mistake is made.

Some people might say teachers having a longer school day could give teachers more time on harder subjects but, teachers have less time to prepare. Teachers need this planning for quality learning. Also Dennis Hamel says,”Teachers worry they don't have time to work with students who are falling behind.” His article also says,”But extending a school day will not alone guarantee positive results. Other ways to help students, teachers, and families are needed.” This will not improve test scores alone because students need quality time instead of

Did you know the school board is thinking about making school longer? However, kids already stay in school for 8 hours a day. Therefore, they do not need to stay in school for any longer. Mostly every student and teacher thinks that 8 hours is enough. The school board should not extend the school days because it may cause students to be mentally exhausted, extracurricular activities will be in the morning or people can not do them, and it may cause parents who drive their children to be late to work or students who have jobs after school.

If the school board extended the school the day by one and a half hours, there would be many conflicts which schedules. Since students are at school more often, family interaction will decrease. Students will be busy completing assignments, and trying to prepare for the next day instead of spending time with their families. This will cause family relationships to grow weaker and weaker each day. An extended day would also affect sporting events between different school districts. While other school districts are released and hour and a half earlier, we would be released an hour and a half late. This would delay the start time of sporting events. The students who play sports would not arrive home until it was dark. The

As a student of Dinwiddie County Public Schools I do not approve of an hour and a half increase in school hours. This would throw off the balance of how things work for the students and the teachers.The minds of students would be stretched and forced to think longer, Students will get even more exhausted with extended school hours, The teachers would have longer hours with no extra pay. if students have to go certain places after school. What if being at school after causes a difficulty in after school schedules.

If the school board extended the school day by one and a half hours,it would provide more instruction time.Teachers would have more time to explain there lessons out to the students.The students would have more time to ask questions and get help from the teacher.Students have a easier time understanding.Due to the school board extending the school day there
