Reasons Not To Add An Hour And A Half To The School Day

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.

What do you think about the time your school starts? Have you ever thought about the affects of your opinion would have on other students? Some people believe school should begin earlier. Some people believe school should start later. In my opinion school start time should stay the same because it would affect students in a negative way by not getting enough sleep, not spending time with their family and not participating in after school activities.

First, schools should keep the same schedule they have the students on now because it prepares them in the future when they get a job. Most jobs now require you to wake up early and be there on time. So waking up early for school is going to help them out in the future. Also changing the schedule would mess things up for students because they are already

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.

The school board wants to add one and a half hours to school each day. I feel like it is not a good idea for us to have any extra time in school. I think school starts too early in the morning so if anything I feel like they should be thinking of a later time to start school. School being so early in the morning affects students in many ways. People are tired in the mornings

Do you think the school board should add one hour and thirty minutes to the school day? I think the school board should not add one and a half hour to school, because it costs the school money, there would be less time for studying and homework and other activities, plus less social life.

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.

The reason kids wouldn't have extra time in the day, is because since school will start later, it would end later as well. After school is when kids can get away from teachers and rules and enjoy having fun with friends or do extra curricular activities, but when it gets late in the day, it gets dark out and stores close. The area can also get filled with creeps who only go outside when it gets dark so they can do drugs or try to steal stuff. School starting later would decrease the time kids have to do other things besides school. If our whole day would be spent in school, we would all turn into nerds!

The school board plans is considering adding one and a half hours to the school day.The extra one and half of hours would provide more instruction time. This would also provide students more time for remediation, and teachers more time to plan interactive lessons with the extension of the school day. For these reasons, the school board should extend the school day by one and a half hours.

My first reason why you shouldn’t extend the school day is that there would be more work. Students have enough to learn in the time they have school and they don’t need to learn any more because it could create stress and confusion for students. They would have to study more and have a lot more work to do in each class. The teachers wouldn’t stress much but with more work for students they will stress more than they should. And also it might be too much information for students to handle.

I was given the task of taking a side on the topic of should schools should start later in the day and end later in the day. I do not believe that schools should start later and and end later in the day. I believe that schools work just fine with the normal eight o’clock to three o’clock schedule.

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.

Many jobs nowadays can require later afternoon hours of work which could leave your child at school for many hours after the school day has already ended. For example student Lexi Ibuos who attended Konawaena Middle School says, “ My mom works late sometimes which leaves my brother and I at school for a various number of hours each day. My mom almost picked my brother and I up and 6 pm once, and I do most of my homework at school but it’s also a pain living far away from school and having to study all night and then waking up early because of the certain times my mom has to work.” What Lexi says shows that extending the time we start would really help us in school and outside of school leaving us feeling more prepared and ready for the next day, instead of being rushed to head the school. Who could imagine what would happen if everyone in the whole world didn’t get any

Well that would require us to add 1 hour and 45 minutes to each day. This would have us going to 5:00 p.m. each day. Some students get to school at 6:20 for athletics. If they had to stay until five, they will have been at school for 10 hours and 40 minutes which will easily over stress and work these students. Even those who don’t have athletics have to be at the school by 8:00 a.m. and would have to stay till 5:00 p.m. The classic american work hours are 9-5. That composes a 8 hour shift which is what most people work. This means that students will be here for 1 hour more than the number of hours most adults work.

Many educators have been thinking about making school hours longer.The school board plans to add one extra hour and a half to school. Many people have their different opinions on this idea. With school already being eight hours long the additional hour will make it nine and a half. There are plenty of reasons why this is not a good idea. I am strongly against adding additional hours to school because; some students gets grouchy, the teachers are tired, and schedules may be changed. That is a big change for a lot of people.
