Should Schools Be More Breaks Throughout The Day?

much worse when there are eighty-five minutes. It’ll be an eternity before the day ends. Years pass by in that time spent in a single class period. Students can lose focus during that time and many will just waste their time in there. While some students absorb the lesson and actually learn more, there are going to be students that get irritable and not be able sitting in a single spot for so long. The words out of the teacher's mouth will just go in one ear and out the other. Not only are the classes too long, it’s also sad that the school had to resort to putting block scheduling into place. Is there really so many students who didn't get enough credits? It's not that hard to pass a class. It seems harder to fail one than to pass one, but considering the new grading system it’s a bit more understandable and gives people a bit more of a pass.

School is a tiring for most kids in the United States. Students should be able to catch about 30 minute breaks at school. Breaks will be great for kids at school, so they can study for an upcoming test, take a nap, and socialize with your peers. Let’s transition to number one.

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

Can you imagine going to an all year round –school? It must be horrible. You would have to go to school all year with short breaks in-between quarters. You couldn’t go on vacation, you couldn’t do activities, and summer is for family memories and its tradition. So why would we change tradition to go to school all year. Here are reasons why we shouldn’t apply to an all year round –schools.

To begin with a short break can affect the way a students brain function. First of all trying to keep up with everything in almost seven different classes can be very stressful. Next, some kids get very tired during class so getting a break can affect that a lot. Finally, some students have trouble sitting still in class so being able to move around in the halls can also help with that.

I think high school students need a longer break during the school day to relax and prepare for the rest of the school day. We don’t want recess, but an amount of time every day that we can be with friends and be able to get their mind off of classes and assignments and maybe even get some physical exercise. A recent study said “according to a growing body of research, people learn better if they are given breaks during their day”(Do High School Students Need Recess?" KQED Education KQED Public Media for Northern CA. N.p., n.d. Web. 26 Aug. 2015). This shows that a majority of people can not only learn better, but are more likely to receive better grades. Why would schools not want to do this? This would not

It's the place where you learn seven hours a day yes I am talking about school.The school board is trying to make school longer in my opinion on it is no because i'm a student and I barely like school but other people like adults think school should be longer and the rest of you that later. But people think school schould be longer because there might be low scores or they might not be learning well enough.

These characteristics can also cause the already identified students to not achieve to their fullest due to stress and lack of motivation.

Do you ever get tired in school and all you want is a break? Well how would you feel if we did have breaks and could go outside and relax. Well thanks to a new and upcoming idea you can. This new method allows us to, every hour or so, go outside and have a 15 minute break. This idea is wonderful and should be used nationwide to conduct all school operations. Taking breaks every so often during school is a great idea for many reasons.

First off, Small breaks during school can affect many student’s grades. This break can wake students up, letting students have more energy to pay attention in class. Most students know the feeling of being tired in class. It can prevent the student from learning, and can cause them to get in trouble in some cases. Just a little movement throughout can help many students with

From past experiences, I have learned that the best way to be successful is to have balance. Students cannot do that if they have to sit in a building all day without moving around or fresh air. Students should have outdoor breaks during a school day to boost productivity, daily exercise, and energy.

Students today are very uneasy due to not getting there full nine hours of sleep. Why you may ask? Students are given excessive work to do at home after an eight hour school day. They need a break from the learning environment. Teachers should not give homework to thei students because it is excessive work to do at a relaxing place, their homes.

three hours, so a break is necessary for everyone. Breaks are usually ten to twenty

“It’s not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it.”-Hans Selye. Today’s high school students are more stressed out than ever, according to the American Psychological Association (APA Survey). However, it is what we do about this stress epidemic that will decide the future of today’s students. High school students need a break during the school day, to decrease stress, improve cognitive function, and improve the overall mental health of students.

When I hear one say, specifically Roman Hebel, “With school out of the picture, I can be stress free and happy” it evokes many questions and stress inside. How does one’s stress disappear simply due to school being put on the back burner? Yes, most homework responsibilities are not of concern, but our school break is only nine days. With nine days, I don’t believe that all individuals including himself are duty and completely worry free. I don’t know about most people, but merely because school is put on hold does not relieve all the worries in the back of my mind. Those issues will always be their haunting me and producing stress until they are resolved, and trust me I do not want to deal with them over a well deserved break. However, this is all just apart of life whether we attempt to enjoy the free time given to us or not. With that being said, the short interruption with school does not create a stress free environment where I am allowed to enjoy myself.
