REP Period Benefits

REP period is a great idea. It is really helpful to those students who choose to

use that time wisely. It is a great time to go get help in the classes in which they are

struggling. Students can use the period to do homework or use it to study for an

upcoming test or maybe even to work on a group project.

I think that the REP period has been beneficial to me, especially last year and

when I use my time wisely. Last year, I got really good grades and I was getting tagged

a lot of the time. I would go and ask for teachers to help me if I wasn't understanding

things being taught in class. I would ask to be tagged so I could work on my homework

that I got from the class in case that I needed help on it. I could just say something
while I was working on it than just waiting until it was due and saying that I did not

understand it and that I didn't have time to ask for help.
It made it easier for students to be able to get help. They wouldn't have to figure

out a time that worked for both of them or if they could stay after, rather there is a

period during the day set up for that and it's REP.

This year, I have REP in the auditorium. I know that if I go into the auditorium for

REP then I probably won't be doing much work, I'll want to be socializing with people.

Also the auditorium does not have tables or desks, just places to sit. That makes it

harder to try to attempt to do work when there is not a place to put your books and

binders, it's harder to have all your work in your lap than on a table.

Also I only come in for REP on blues days so it's important that I am using that

time the best I can and to try to get as much work done as possible so it's less I have to

do at home. It also helps me to keep my grades up and get help that I need on any

assignment.

Overall, I think that REP is beneficial to students and even the teachers. If the

teachers don't tag students for a day, it will give them 40 more minute to prep for
a

class or to do something that they need to get done. If students are using their time

wisely and getting work done or getting help on a subject that they are struggling in, it

will be benefiting them.
