Longer School Break

My first reason students should have recess is because students spend too much time with their nose in a computer, and this can be bad for your eyes. Some of today's kids probably can’t tell the difference between a ladybug and a rolly polly. Kids need to learn how to have fun outside and not on a computer.

The first reason why I believe Saint John Neumann middle school students should have a longer recess is because it will help us use energy. If we use up some of our energy then we will not be as hyper going to class after lunch. Also, some people really don't use study hall, the class before lunch and recess, and mess around during it because they want a little break. A longer recess time would help these students recooperate and get some energy out of their systems. Finally, students need time to be active so we can be diligent in the next classes.

Children or even an adult get benefit from the break. The research shows that kids learn better and faster when their efforts are distributed, rather than concentrated in one thing. For example, a texas school started giving children four recess a week and saw the immediate positive results from the kids

Say goodbye to the three months of summer vacation and say hello to year-round school! Year-round school has very many positive features, it can decrease summer learning loss, stress, and the United States students catch up with the rest of the world. The decrease of brain drain will improve learning, teachers won’t have to reteach the student, that’s stressful and kids will do better on the state test, so the U.S. can catch up. Year round school is killing three birds with one stone.

When the school only gives you five minutes in between each class period and you have a whole bunches of things to do like go talk to the office or run to your locker up stairs, or talk to a teacher about missing assignments, whatever it might be five minutes just isn't enough time. I think it should be 15 minute breaks between each class for several reasons. One is it gives you plenty of time to talk to a teacher or run to your locker without constantly worrying about being late for class. Or if you have no errands to do it could give you some time to study for a big test next period, or work on homework

The students could use this time to go home or somewhere to eat food they want to eat and hang out with there friends. Also when students are at school the day seem long with a break in there it make it a little shorter. “We sit in classrooms ALL day. No sunlight, no fresh air. Just the captivity of some grey walls and a hallway cramped up constantly with other people.

Most middle schools don’t believe that recess is part of a school day, but in Finland students get 15 minute breaks during class and they can focus after the break. In our middle school, we don’t have recess and only five minutes in between classes. Even during lunch, we have thirty minutes to eat and hang out with friends. There are many reasons for the middle schoolers here to have more recess time.

This gives students the opportunities to do what they enjoy. Also, recess is also something we should have. Recess would kids a break and let them get that energy out. Last, are classes should be shorter. Shorter classes can help kids stay focused more and can give them a better learning experience.

Students need time away from their teachers and other students to relieve the stress of going to school everyday for so many weeks. Students need time of freedom, instead of their teachers instructing them through everything they do in the day. Students need time to make their own decisions instead of their teachers making them for

This paper includes a reference list of literature relating to the pros and cons of changing a five day school week to a four day school week. In general, the literature seems to indicate that most of the reasoning behind this change is to lower energy and fuel costs as well as cut budgets to an affordable rate. Academic progress is evaluated in some cases and discussion of what decisions have been made in the use of the fifth unscheduled day have been researched. Some suggest to use the “off” day for professional development as well as an opportunity to offer additional student extracurricular activities. The difficulty of finding childcare for the unscheduled school day seemed to be an issue that was more prevalent in suburban school districts rather than rural districts. Each individual school district had to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the shortened week and decide what worked best for their students, teachers, community.

Schools are so much a part of our society, so the accurate length of school days is extremely important. Public opinions on the length of the school days are different. There are a lot of parents and professors concerned that it is hard for children to go to school early in the morning and stay there the whole day. On the other side, some professors try to force students into a nine hour school day. Not so many years ago, school was a main part of my life, and the school days’ structure and length affected my social life and ability to study. From my own experience and some studies that I have seen, students benefit if school days are long.

Have you ever realized that most students forget everything they learned from during their school year when they go on long breaks such as summer vacation? Maybe that could change. School time should be extended and the school year should be longer to improve academic scores and overall performance on school work.

To begin with, students deserve a break. School can be exasperating. When students are constantly stressed from material they are learning, a break from school becomes imperative. It’s much more than a break from school, students get to go out and have time for
