Explain Why Students Should Not Have More Time In The Halls

It benefits students by, having more time to do homework if they cant get it done in school. If there needed to be an assembly in that day student could go to it at that time. If they need to finish a book or read for a class they can do it in study hall. If students need to retake a test that they missed or didn't have enough time for they can do it.

It would give the a little space to breathe a minute, and sit with friends. It would take away some of their stress, to sit and talk with some of their friends. Instead of the alternative of sitting there worried over how much time you have, and trying to choke down your food to finish it. Sometimes not even getting to say a word to anyone. Kids already stress enough over their work, and out of school activities, or things happening a home. So why do they need anymore stress? Stress causes kids to do bad academically, because it wears them down, making it hard for them to do their best. Kids might even get a little time to do some of their work at lunch, if given even a little bit of extra time. If you have forgotten an assignment, and you don't have study hall or panther time you're out of luck. Unless you do it at lunch, but with how much time were given now, that would mean giving up eating.

The student above is just one of the many voices on the forum echoing the distaste for longer schools days. The pressure to balance the school workload is overwhelming and without the proper supports and teaching students how to balance the work, longer school days will not be the solution and instead serve as a detriment to the students and their success.

Therefore, passing periods should be extended to 10 minutes since there are upsides and very few downsides, the upsides: Have more time to get to their classes, students can be spared from the worst

All these voices come from the same people. Students wishing for longer passing time in the halls. Now Smithville Middle School joins the fight, but this school isn’t using a barrage of exclamation points. It’s time somebody got to the root of this argument. ‘How can short passing times affect middle school life?’, ‘Does it affect student behavior?’, and finally, ‘How many minutes are really needed?’

In a recent survey 81% of students reported they were late to class because the passing period was too short and they either had to use the restroom or there class is too far away. Students should be able to have longer passing periods for restroom usage, and to have a little nutritional snack before the next class. If students had more time, they’d have time to get prepared for the next class. Lastly there would be less detention slips given out. Since they are so short students are upset because they are tardy and have to go to detention.

(Sohn). So if recess was longer at RJH, students would get all of these benefits, and the teachers would have a longer break. This change to recess time would allow students to work on social skills, solve problems, and they would have a better time focusing in

RING!! Yeah class is done but I have 3 minutes to talk to my friends grab my things and get to the next class. Heineman Middle School should have longer passing periods. There are many reasons that we should have longer passing periods but here are just a few. The students and teachers need a break from teaching and learning. We also need more social time. The last reason is if we have a longer time to relax and socialize we will focus better in class.

School is never very exciting for most students, the day is long and most of the time very boring. I believe that the days are too long and should be changed.

So students do use study hall. Having resource instead of our study hall gives us more homework if we don’t finish the work that is assigned to us. We do understand the good parts of having a resource, but we would rather have study hall, and actually learn the things we are practicing during resource, in class. I understand if you won’t give back our study hall five days a week, but at least, let us go to teacher five days a week because if we need the help how is struggling and stressing ourselves to do the assignment, given for resource, going to make it any

When classes are longer students are given more time to actually think and actively engage in learning. Students who are on traditional scheduling, one short class after the next, tend to feel ‘the frantic assembly line environment.’ Come to think of it releasing hundreds, even thousands of young emotional adults in the hallways every 45 minutes for 5 minute passing periods could easily result in need for disciplinary action. Along with students, instructors also benefit from extended class periods; pedagogical time is more efficient because less time is lost for each class. "... many school districts have adopted 'block scheduling,' which is premised on teachers doing less lecturing and instead, engaging students in discussion, role-playing, and active learning pursuits, but which in practice, often amounts to teachers taking time off while their charges use the school day to do homework, watch films, or surf the Internet.

     The same what Study Hall keeps students in their desks from 8:00pm to 10:00 pm, it’s a great method of improving a student’s responsibility. When someone is into a routine of doing something every day at the same time, he gets use to it and sometimes keeps that routine forever. One of the reasons study hall is done in Cushing is to provide discipline and responsibility to a student in order to study by your own in College in a near future. It will also make a student keep at least two hours a day to review and study for college. Keeping time for your studies is a great sign of responsibility. In many aspects, Study Hall contributes to a great future by providing responsibility and discipline in a student’s studies.

Is study hall important to you? Do you think that it would help you if you had study hall? Would you use your time wisely? Well, I believe that middle schools should have study hall. High schools have study hall and just because we are younger than them that doesn’t mean that we can’t have study hall. Study hall is proven to be more helpful for students.

To begin, sitting for five hours on a regular school day is hard enough, but sitting in uncomfortable auditorium seats for five and a half hours is unbearable. With the lack of motion, students tend to become agitated and lose interest posthastedly. From personal experience, having more movement during the day increases both focus and productivity in and outside of the classroom. Yes, there is a massive amount of information to take in over the course of a six hour day, but the total movement that happened was a questionable practice.

Making it almost impossible to focus on getting work done. These issues were not always this bad it only started this year when they started keeping us from leaving the building or going to different parts of the school during lunch. I understand that these students in the hall’s behavior is unacceptable but I also understand that some people have a harder time controlling their pent up energy by denying us the ability to move freely between buildings removes some kids outlets causing them to act
