Why We Shouldn T Be An Hour Of School

Adding just an extra ten minutes to each class, the new schedule would create the potential for students to have more homework time, lab time, learning time, and/or valuable free time to read for pleasure, relax with music, draw, etc. (Hadfield). Especially as students get older and more involved in extracurriculars and rigorous academic courses, the need for any spare moment to get assignments done, study, or even sleep increases. When this time is unavailable or extremely hard to get, students are more likely to fall asleep in class, miss school due to illness, misbehave, cheat, hand in incomplete assignments, or drop out altogether. The same is largely true for teachers. The more homework turned in by students, the more grading has to be done by teachers who are already exhausted from a long, often repetitive day of work. Therefore, it is important to emphasize the fact that this extra time should not be used to cram in larger quantities of learning standards or homework problems, but rather to enhance the quality of the already demanding school regulations that are in schools

We strongly agree with this comment/claim. So my class decided to do a little research on this “sore subject”and we found a website which enlightened us a lot. This website is called debate.org and it has a lot of arguments/facts on many subjects. For example this situation we are talking about currently. This site helped me build an opinion on this discussion. My opinion is that students should not go to school for 8 hours. One reason is because most kids don’t like to go to school to begin with. I know because because a poll on debate.org says 89% of students say no we shouldn’t have an eight hour school day, and 11% percent say yes we should.They support their claim by clearly stating students can “Use time after school for other things and the school district will save money.Students could do many thing after school like: Sleep, get home faster, play video games for release of stress,sports,homework, and other activities outside of school.The school district can save money by: Teachers working less hours so they get

Do you remember being in elementary school feeling sleepy, wishing you were back in kindergarten where you were allowed to take naps? Was your brain ever so tired that the only way you were able to stay awake was by daydreaming or talking to friends while the teacher was teaching? That is the case with many students in the United States. Not only does the current school schedule prove to be unproductive to students, but also adding longer hours to a school day can have more damaging effects than positive ones.

At the end of the day, students want to go home and have time to relax or spend with friends. If there is an extra hour of school, their schedules will be filled up more. Assuming that this extra hour lasts from 3:19-4:04, added with the average bus ride of 20 minutes with, say, 6 minutes to get to the bus, then the students get home around 4:30. Trying to get homework done, dinner eaten, and having fun, and getting to bed at a good hour on weekdays will be next to impossible to do without ruining grades. Granting that students may stay up extra late to do all the things they want to do, the problem of tiredness during the day comes up. Doing this for a whole school year can really take a toll on a person’s mental and physical health.

A major issue in the teenage years is stressing over school homework, projects, extracurricular, and more, complaining about the problem with the amount of time. At this stage in life, teenagers start thinking more abstractly, and start to drift off. Parents additionally become influenced by their children’s thoughts, or begin worrying about them. Therefore, schools should provide less days of school days, but extend the amount of school hours each day for middle school, compared to five days a week of school with about seven hours a day.

Do you agree that school should only be till noon. If so, then continue reading this article and I will give my reasons and even some reasons why I think it might work.

At first thought, more time in school may seem like a way to improve students’ academic ability, but its effects are quite contradicting. Schools should not add one and a half hours to school each day. Students with many extracurricular activities will find it hard to maintain their other hobbies and interests. Teachers also have other things to do that could relate to their career or personal life that must be done outside of school. These activities could be negatively affected by an extra 90 minutes of teaching. The extra time in class will also reduce the amount of concentration both the teacher and students have in class. Though education is important, everybody has their own talents that could be restricted or even dropped off due to more time in school.

Across the nation, students are either waking up even earlier in the morning, or staying later in the evening at their schools. Personally, I disbelieve such a tactic of education, like extended school hours(this comma is not needed), is effective or beneficial to a student’s education. To begin, lengthening academic time in schools, limits the possibilities of extra curricular activities, socialization, and time with one’s family. Also, with school hours being longer, comes the demand of increased expenses, including utilities, basic supplies, and staff. Finally, after a long day at school, children are often tired, anxious, and rambunctious. Adding an hour and a half daily, would provoke such issues into a much worse situations. As can be seen, extending school would cause issues such as, shortened time for after school activities, increased overall expenses, and overworked children.

Today I'm going to tell you about how some schools, extend another hour in school and want

“I am thinking about adding an hour and a half to our school day,” states my principal. Are you kidding me? That is an absolute atrocious idea! There is absolutely no upside to this proposal. Teenagers like myself already lack the necessary amount of sleep and this certainly isn’t helping our case. Do the School Board members realize we have a life to live outside of our academic one? We all have different activities to attend and this may require us to readjust our appointments. Not only that, but what happens to our free time? Not only do students need a break throughout the week, the teachers and staff members do too! How could this idea even be considered?

It is 4:45, a tired kid stumbles off the bus, tired as anything, just to see his mom rushing him into the car because he has practice at 5:00. He gets home at 6:30 or so and still has his homework to do. That was with 20 minutes added to our school dy. Imagine if we had an extra hour and a half. To say the least it would affect everything. It would interfere with all after school activities and other plans students have and like to do. It would also cause kids to dislike school. Everyone knows school isn't the most exciting thing in the world. If it was an hour and a half longer, people would dread school. You would arrive at school at around 7:45 or so and not get home until almost 5:00. That is for a middle schooler. An elementary student wouldn't get home until almost 7:00 and still might have homework to do. To say the least, adding an hour and a half to our school day is a bad decision because it could take time away from family, interfere with other plans, and cause kids to dislike school.

As a student, How do you spend your time after school? Whether you are packed with homework, or out enjoying your golden years, this time is valuable. Many students are proposing that the school board move school times back one hour. I am here to tell you that this will change student behavior and sleep levels minimally. If anything, we should start earlier so that there is more time after school for our studies, recreation and off ones. School starts should not be pushed back to 815.

Lastly, we will not have too much time left on our schedule for after school activities. For example, most students compete or attend after school activities such as, football, basketball, weightlifting, or even softball. Also, students enjoy these activities and gets ants in their pants for them as well. For instance, students will die for after school activities, and by the way, extending this much time to the school day will only make it worse, not just to students, but to parents, and teachers as

School is the first chapter of the book of life. It is a source of knowledge and skill which facilitates brain development. A school shapes the character and attitude of a person. A discussion is ongoing in regard to the need to increasing school hours in the US. Currently in the US, the school day is eight hours long. Unite

The average school day is 7-8 hours and I think it’s just the right amount of time we need for school. But the school board wants to add one and half hours to our school day, and I don't think it’s necessary. We shouldn’t add time to our school day, it will have so much negative effect on our student that I don’t think it's worth it. After all, we already have a negative impact on how long our school days are. For example; most of the time we are sitting and research has shown our generation is 125% more likely to get diabetes, heart disease and other heart attacks just from us sitting down, and adding an hour and thirty minutes will only make it worse because we're sitting most for most of the day. But this is not the only negative effect of having longer school days. It will not only take us longer to get home, but it will be more difficult because of the program some people are in, they couldn’t ride regular school buses because they would have already dropped off the high school students and would have been on their way home, and the people who go to these programs (Academy 360) will have to make their bus drive longer to get home because they will probably have to catch different buses, and the student will be more tired and not be able to work to their absolute best abilities, because they are usually out of school at this time and their brains are out of learning mode and into relaxing mode.
