Extended School Hours

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

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.

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

Students would also need to power through longer school days in order to meet instructional hour requirements. If students are less attentive, their performance will drop. If absent, students will miss more material due to the longer school days. Students could forget curriculum over the extra day not in school. Despite these points having some real validity to them, four day school weeks can lessen our environmental impact.

The school board of the district should not make the school day longer by adding an extra hour. Kid’s will get tired, not being able to focus and stay off task. Kid’s also need time for basic necessities, like eating dinner, sleeping a full eight hours, being social, and even for some kids, working at jobs.

Time management is already a problem for every student, it becomes even harder as extra-curricular activities are added and the school day is extended. I believe that the school day should be shortened. There are many reasons why the school day should be shortened. Students have shown better performance in the past when the school day is shortened.

Would you be happy if school was extended? I know I wouldn't be happy if there was a thirty minute extension to school days. I don't think the school board should add thirty minutes to the school day because then you get home later and you can't go outside after doing your homework, also can affect family time, and especially after school programs would be affected.

In conclusion, even thinking about extending school hours is just ridiculous. I thnk they should look of how it affects people in a bad way. The students and staff members will be worked to death! Also, teachers and students that drive could be so tired it can cause a crash on their way home. The Dickenson County School Board will be to blame if it does happen. They really need to look at it from other people's point of

Across the nation school systems and counties are considering to extend school by a hour and a half for students and staff. I personally do not agree with this idea because of the following reasons. To begin with, I personally think that it would be a waste of time because we would have less time to do task that we would have to do. Also, it would feel like we would have less time in a day which means we would have less free time and during school hours we would have more chances to get into trouble. Finally, it would make it complicated and cause difficulties for the bus driver and the bus schedule. As can be seen, adding a hour and a half would take time away from everything else.

I believe that school days should be shorter for the following reasons; students should be able to do things they like outside of school more often than they do, students could maintain a job and learn skills about the future from working outside in the real world, and because students would have more opportunities to get things done and be more organized. The first reason I believe school should be shorter is because students should be able to do more of the things they like outside of school and have more time to do it. When students become more interested in something, they can pursue the activity more and maybe one day have a profession in a certain skill. That way someone could find out more of what they want to do with their future and focus a little bit more on that.

Most students despise the thought of more school hours. I disagree with the majority, I think that there are great benefits to extending school hours. I have three reasons to support my opinion. Students could get more work done, preparing them better for a higher college education. Stay safer, and not face the dangers of the streets. Students could take more classes, which could give them more high school credits to possibly graduate quicker. I think these are crucial reasons to consider when the debate of extending school comes up.

Some people think that the school board should extend school hours by a hour or two. On the other hand some may argue that the time already provided is plenty for school. Therefore I think the school board should not extend school days by these extra few hours, because people will have to pay more money, kids will miss lots of things outside of school, and there would be more problems in school if they did extend school hours. That is the reason i think school should not be extended. I can see why some people would think that school should be extended. The kids would get more time to practice different subjects.

Could you imagine going to school or work for extra hour longer than what you normally would? Most of children, and adults would not be too happy about this. That is one of the many reasons why the school schedule should not be extended. Some say that the school day for students should be extended and made longer. But others ask if that if that extra time would really be beneficial for everyone's learning? In some cases where a school's district extended the day, they saw no improvement in areas where they hoped to see it. It is also said that the additional time may not be used as it is intended for, and that is just too expensive. Overall, extending the school day for children is not a good option, for it doesn't show much improvement, is
