The School Board wants to add one and a half hours to each school day. I disagree and here is why. Students get a lot of homework sometimes and for some students it would take them a long time. They would be tired the next day when they go to school for trying to finish something for school. Their grades would go down fast because they keep falling asleep in class. For pick-up parents would have to wait longer in the lines and especially when parents come straight from work. Second wave and third wave would be waiting longer. Some students during second and third wave are very hungry and would have nothing to eat. Teachers would have to wait longer to use the restroom if they couldn't go because they can't leave the students alone in the
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.
Kids would actually have time to eat their food. We students have no time to eat the food we paid for. Because not only do we have to wait in ginormous lines for the majority of the time. There are some of us who have to
Many parents and teachers believe it to be the fact that students stay up late and don’t get enough sleep, however there may be an underlying factor that may be out of a student’s control. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute highly recommends students, especially teenagers, get an average night of sleep around nine to ten hours. The easy solution would be for students to sleep early, however students are naturally wired to sleep late (Gilpin.) Sleep patterns change as you grow older, the pressure to sleep becomes more delayed to the later evening. This pressure to sleep is controlled according to a person’s circadian rhythm, which is the biological clock of
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.
When a student is not focused, they find it more difficult to complete their work as comprehensively. This results in the students having to complete a greater amount of homework, which would lead to them staying up later. When students are not focused, they will not comprehend the work that the teacher is explaining and will not understand the content of what is being taught. When students do not understand the concepts taught, their grades may decline. When the student is not focused it also increases the chances of doing their homework incorrectly. Another reason why schools should have a later start is because the student may arrive sleep deprived. This results in the students’ exhaustion during class and increases their chances of falling asleep during school hours. Unfocused, tired students also have a difficult time comprehending the work that is assigned to them due to the student not being fully awake. If a student is taking a test while their mind is not rested, they potentially will not do as well as they might have if they had taken the test at a later time, having had an acceptable amount of sleep. Early school hours also result in car crashes caused by

The student would spend the four hours doing assignments and quizzes outside of class. It is hard for some students who do not have a lot of time to complete the assigned work. Some students live with parents. The parents could be financially unstable and ask the student to take care of younger siblings while they are looking for more income. Other students might be parents themselves.
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.
them to not have enough time for sleep. Naturally, students would be able to focus better on the class material if they were awake
Furthermore into the topic, the 10 minute passing period lets and/or helps teachers prepare for their next period. A longer passing period would prevent students from asking to go use the bathroom, get a drink, or be late, so teacher(s) have the student’s full concentration, “If your student doesn’t have to interrupt you to use the restroom or get some water, it is going to be a better learning environment for the rest of the students. Without these interruptions you may continue your lesson and have student’s full concentration, instead of worrying about their personal needs” (Medina). And also in addition to that, teachers will have more time to prepare for their next class compared to 5 minutes, so teachers can get coffee or take a break during the passing period.
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 longer the students have to stand, waiting, the bigger the opportunity is for unwanted behaviors. (student are being lined up 1-2 minutes prior to their dismissal time, only)
Secondly, students have limited resources during school hours. Once students are on campus they cannot leave at their
It becomes a problem to manage time effectively and distribute it to have balance. A lot of students are used to leaving all the work for the last minute. They follow a false idea that everything can be done before the deadline. However, it is not the case with education. Procrastination makes students do things halfway and not retain all needed information.
