The Dickenson County: Half To The School Day

The Dickenson County School Board wants to add a hour and a half to the school day. I disagree with the idea for three reasons. One, the school day is long enough. Two, children will not have time for sports, clubs, and other after school activities. Three, stress levels are bound to rise with this nonsense. Why add boring hours to dreary days? Staff and students handle more than meets the eye during the day. The effects of a change such as this will only end poorly. In other words, why torture children with the fact that their day is longer and they have more work to complete? Education will be valueless because of longer days because kids will be worn out and tired of school too soon. Additionally the teachers, aids, and coaches have lots
of planning to complete, and they stay extra everyday anyway. The concept is prevailing and foolish! After all, the detrimental impacts on the innocent lives involved is real. The damage is severe, and the greater it will be if the change is complete. The massive extension will be less beneficial for everyone whose life is corrupted. Furthermore, my opinion may vary from majority, but I see the best for students and staff, and I believe the school hours will be better off not tampered with. To begin with, hours pass by slowly at school.
Days are weary and minds only function for a limited time, like those holiday candies, here one day and gone the next! Additional time will tire kids’ minds and make them fall asleep, half of the kids do now as is. Therefore, the disfunction of children will create an unsteadiness in their grades, and they might fail. Along with the failing of kids, the school system will be bothered as well, for the fact that their records may drop and the may look terrible in the eye of society. In a day, at school, there is an abundance of work that is required to be done. Children are pushed beyond limit with drama, work, and stress. More time will trouble them, especially on the inside where no outsider understands. Undoubtedly, in high school these sweet youngsters will have had enough and become dropouts. Is this really what the board
wants? By the way, sports are a major division in teen life. Practice and game time is an obligation for students. Adding school time will cut into their activity time until it eventually disappears. Children do not deserve to be deprived of their opportunities. The extra school hours will bite into the evening hours that children use to be themselves. Clubs and other similar activities mean the world to kids! They are fun to work in and with, but school work is not so cool. Children are caught up in these rallying games, and extra class time will not benefit them as long as their happiness is getting taken away. In a like manner, stress is a large portion of life these days.
Students are forced to deal with life, that is nature of course, but school is the most stressful element in life. As if eight hours of strain was not enough in grade school, the board wants to flip the switch on student life.in school hate is deep and judgement is harsh. Why put kids through more of that terror? Life is not a horror movie or an alarming game. I will not stand to live my own dear life, if life means living in a chilling level of Five Nights at Freddy’s! Children break down, fall apart, give up too easy, and get stressed out too much. That is no reason to believe that just because their bodies are frail and torn happen to be why they will not suffer anymore because trust me kids suffer quite a bit, and if people believe they do not suffer after so long they are wrong. This tragic change means more than a bit of extra learning. Stress is real, and school is one of the main fueling fires. Just like a motor and engine fuel a car, school fuels anxiety and hesitation in
life. In conclusion, the board must realize extra time is nonessential. These are the crossroads where decisions make or break children. The school board must consider that kids are not made steel, and they cannot withstand tons of exhaustion. Their precious minds drag through the day, and any additions will only do harm. This school system has superior issues, and this is about to be another. Children do not deserve more of this disquieting life, they have enough to deal with, and I am sure they will have plenty of knowledge by graduation day. They say the effects cannabis are substantial, multiple people say it helps humans go insane. Well I am here to tell everyone, school is the same way! School causes people trauma because no one seems to be judgment free. Additionally, the extra time will be worse on lives than alcohol! Students and teachers deal with enough now,why make people suffer? In brief, the board opinion may differ from mine, but on behalf of all the students across America, this idea to attend school longer than necessary is by far the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard!
