7 Hour School Day?! Should Schools Add One Extra Hour To The Day Or Not?

7 Hour School Day?!

By Kane L.

 

The school board in a district is considering making the school day longer by adding an extra hour.  What do you thick? No thank you, 6 hours is good for me.

 

My first reason for why there shouldn’t be an extra hour added on to the school days is that we won’t get to be at home with are family as much as we should.  Maybe your family has dinner before most people and when your family is having dinner you are sitting in a classroom learning instead of eating. You should always have enough time to be with your family in a day.  You might miss out on family activities, like going to the park or having friends over. With this extra hour you can’t do some of this stuff.

 

The second is that how will we split the extra hour to keep the subjects even in time.  Trying to figure out a longer and new schedule could take a bit of time. I say we add some more time to our recess time.  With this extra recess time we can relax and move around to give our brain a little bit of time to rest and for us to exercise.  

My third and final reason is that we already have homework to do at home and we won’t have enough time to finish it in time for the next day.  If the school adds on an extra day we shouldn’t have homework, one because we already learn the stuff in school so why do it again, and second we will be doing homework instead of sleeping and we need sleep.  So 6 hours of school and homework, 7 hours of school and no homework, or 7 hours of school and homework, but not enough sleep. You choose which one you would like.

 

If we add an extra day of school what would you want.  Have the 7 hours and no homework, extra recess time, or want to spend more time with your family.  I say extra recess or no homework.
