Should School Board Add One And A Half Hours?
Kids will go insane if the school board adds one and a half hours to school. Children are already stressed about SOLs and homework. We shouldn't put more pressure on them. The school board should add more days to the school days to the school year than adding more hours. Adding more time will cause more problems and stress. The school board should not add one and a half hours board because students will complain more, teachers will have to stay longer after the school day, and it would limit after-school activities.
To begin, if the school board adds one and a half hours to school students will complain more. In 2013 Spotsylvania County added extra time to the school day because they had to many snow days. Students were protesting because

    Schools shouldn’t start at later times. Schools shouldn’t do this because it would push back practice for school sports, parents would have a difficult time getting to work on time, and it’s harder for students to get home safely. If schools start later, students will not have enough time for homework or projects to finish. If they don’t, they’ll have a good amount of time to finish it. Yes, students will get more sleep if school does start later but keeping it the way it is had good reasons why it shouldn’t be pushed back.…

    Have you ever been exhausted on a Monday morning, struggling to get up, well don’t worry, I have too? Schools should start later in the day so that students can get the recommended full 9 hours of sleep, because let’s face it, we all know most students don’t actually get enough sleep, but if school times were changed, say an hour ahead of current time, then students will be more attentive which will help them learn and stay focused in class, getting more sleep can help with their concentration, which would lead to better grades. Energy is also very important, if a student doesn’t have enough energy, they might fall asleep in class, which is a big problem. Lastly, if students don’t get enough sleep, they might be too tired, and skip breakfast,…

    There is no doubt that the school system in the United State needs some adjusting. There is a proposal of possibly extending school hours or shifting the schools into a year-round type system. There are many advantages to having the school operate in a year-round schedule as opposed to the traditional schedule as well as disadvantages. A year-round schooling system needs to be considered for the United States county wide because shorter summer breaks allow children to retain more information from the previous year, better opportunities for local businesses and graduating seniors/teenagers looking for…

    Therefor I don’t think our school board should add time to each school day. I think we should keep our schedule starting at 7:30 and ending at 2:30. That way we can get home do chores, play and go to any afterschool activities. If we changed our school hours that would interfere with parents/guardians work schedules. Now with the schedules our school has we don’t get to restless with the teachers or other…

    There are many reasons why they should not add hours into the day. We want kids to be able to comprehend and get good grades. If anything the school board should later the morning time so kids won’t be so tired and lazy in the morning. Also, this extend time would interfere with family time, and it’s to long for kids to pay attention and comprehend the data given. Kids are not meant to be still and quiet for nine hours. It’s hard for kids now that have a disability to pay attention for less than eight hours,let alone nine hours. School Board would have to provide time for the kids to exercise, move around, and talk. This is just way too much to change and families are use to the school schedule already, no need to change and cause problems with family time and etc. Lastly, is the School Board willing to pay the teachers more and provide more for the students? Can they afford…

    For this debate I am debating why school time should stay the same. J.C.M.S middle school in Sierra Vista has a delayed start time of 9:00 a.m., and finish school at 4:00 p.m. This affects the children who are involved if afternoon sports, most time not getting out until 6:00 p.m sometimes later. If you have homework that same night after spending two hours doing a sport you might procrastinate and not do your homework at all or you will be tired and end up making mistakes that should not have been made. An earlier start time ensures an earlier release time letting sports start earlier and homework being done at an earlier time while not as exhausted from the day.…

    We all need more time to eat, less time for school, and time with friends. The school does not give us much time to eat for lunch. Students need more time to eat lunch, because their just in a rush to eat their food. School also needs to get out earlier than 3:09 pm and not have intervention. Some students have jobs they need to go too. When were going to have that changed, we need time to sleep in also. Starting an hour later for school would help students a lot. Students sleep is important for the brain. Our school needs to have time changes.…

    One of the reasons we think the school start time should stay the same is because it will make the time commitment of participating in after school activities more difficult to manage. All of us, like many other students, participate in after school activities. A later school start time will mean that school activities will start later and run even later than they do now. The later in the day it gets, the less energy we have to give 100% effort mentally. We will also be more physically tired which means if…

    Many students across the U.S. are complaining because they need more sleep. There is an easy answer to this and a harder answer that would cost more money. The easy answer is go to sleep earlier. The harder answer would be to change school start times. I believe that we should just go to sleep earlier. This is because we would not have to change schedules, Students aren´t guaranteed to go to sleep at the same time , and after school activities would not have to go into the night.…
