Why We Should Have Shorter School Days
The majority of people say that they would love to have shorter school days, but not everyone agrees. Parents, kids, teachers, and random people on the street all have opinions. Some people even believe that school days should be longer to match parents work days. Like the majority, I think school should be shorter.
At school, you must socialize with whomever is in your class or in your grade, some of them might be your friends and other might not. Some people’s friends don’t attend public school or go to another school so they aren’t able to hang out with them during school hours. Socializing is important to kids so it can help them develop social skills. If we have shorter school days that will give kids time to study and do homework.

    Have you ever wondered why teachers take a whole month to review everything from the previous year or why students tend to forget everything? Every year, students are keeping their calendars at hand and counting down the days until summer vacation. It’s the last day of school and when the final bell rings, kids are ready to do nothing for three months. However, is this really a good thing? The possibility of having year-round schools is at hot debate topic right now and it is time for change from traditional calendar schools. Schools should incorporate a system where schooling is year-round instead of having a long summer break because this allows for more learning and would prevent the problem of students forgetting everything they’ve learned the previous year.…

    I think that starting the school day later would greatly benefit the students and teachers. if we started school at about say nine thirty in the morning instead of eight thirty or earlier, that would mean that most students wouldn't need to be awake in the morning till almost seven thirty to eight thirty and some kids could even wake up a little later then that depending on where they live. granite it is proven that high school students only need six to eight hours of sleep each night but there is always that few that never get the six to eight hours of sleep.…

    Children who live in an area with year long school and those who cannot afford private school shouldn’t have to be forced to go to a school that does not benefit them. Paying to go to school is an option. People pay for those schools because it benefits them. The traditional high school calendar has been used for many years by many school because it works. Public school should not force something upon its citizens that does not benefit them. So maybe instead of opting for a longer school year educators should improve the quality of time put into the…

    Schools should end later. From my personal experience, I usually end school and then have hours of extra curricular activities, because I am a dancer. This limits my time that I am able to spend on homework, and causes me to stress out. Also, it forces me to go to bed later and not get enough sleep for a growing teen. If school ended earlier I would be able to finish my homework earlier and get to go to bed earlier which would enable me to then get more sleep. Finally, I would get to spend more time with family. I am always rushing home from school, right to my homework and then off to dance, and then back home for homework. I never get to talk to my family and tell them about my day.…

    Do you feel like school should be started later in the morning? Well, the school should start later. Instead of school starting in 6:30, maybe it should start at 8. If schools delayed the start of the school, communities will have reduced tardiness, sleeping in class, accident rates, improved attendance, and higher test scores. School starting at 8 will most likely decrease the number of students falling asleep in class.…

    I think a longer school year is better for many reasons. During the long summer vacation, many kids waste time watching TV. They forget what they learned in school. I am always ready for the new school year because I only have one month off. It takes time to learn everything you need to know in order to go to college. In my opinion, if more schools replace vacation time with learning time, it will make a big difference for their students. (qtd. in Should)…

    The subject I chose to talk about was, “Should school be year round?” The debate for year round school and a traditional school year has been the main subject of the school committee meetings for many years. Even though some people from other countries like Japan go to school year-round because of their religion. It has always been a debate across the nation on this subject; whether school should be year round or not. My opinion is that school shouldn’t be year round.…
