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

On a crisp fall morning‚ parents lined the school’s circular driveway in Audis‚ BMWs and Land Rovers‚ among other luxury SUVs‚ to drop their high-schoolers off at Detroit Country Day School. Dressed in uniforms—boys in button-down shirts‚ blazers with the school crest‚ khaki or navy dress pants‚ and ties; girls in largely the same garb‚ though without the ties and the option of wearing a skirt—the students entered a lobby adorned with green tiles from the nearby Pewabic Pottery‚ a legendary Detroit

‘The school day should start late’ Almost every weekday‚ high school students are waking up around six o’clock in the morning to get ready for school‚ some even earlier. It’s not practical for high school classes to start at 8.30 or earlier. It’s just too early for teenage minds to function properly. Our school should start at least an hour later than that. With the extra hour‚ our attendance would improve‚ as well as our grades and attitudes. The facts are all there‚ so why shouldn’t the hours

the United States‚ I began to attend North Penn High School on Dec. 6‚ 2000. It was a day that I will never forget. My first day in a foreign school was a especially hard for me. During my first day in a new school‚ I felt nervous‚ lonely‚ and sad. First‚ I was very nervous because my school was huge. There were around three thousand students who were studying in the school; furthermore‚ there were around three hundred staff members in the school. My class schedule was hard for me to understand.

School days should be shortened by two hours‚ because students should have more time to complete homework and study. One reason to shorten the school days is that if you want to get into a good high school or college‚ students will need lots of time for homework. The students will also need time to study for quizzes and tests. Another reason to cut the school days by two hours is because of how many children finish their homework at late hours‚ but with these shorter days‚ students would be able

A Day In The Life Of A School Bag It was a typical (ordinary) school day and I was being packed with my heavy load. I had different compartments. Inside in you could find books‚ pencils‚ erasers‚ rulers‚ dictionary‚ Atlas of Belize‚ some coins and other stuff (things). My zips were closed and I was lifted off the ground. It was time to go to school. I was being tossed (flipped‚ swung) around. I kept bumping into something hard. Soon I felt myself being lifted up again. ‘We were at school.’ I thought

The first day is always the hardest. You go from being the leaders of the school‚ to the babies of the school. It was the first day and everybody was full of both excitement and fear. I looked around‚ I saw a bunch of crowded newbies all around me‚ anxiously awaiting the bell‚ at the start the only person I could recognise was Chiara. Chiara is one of my best friends; we went through primary school together. Gradually more and more people showed up‚ until I could barely move. A few of them

Fear‚ excitement‚ and all of these different emotions were running through my head as I wondered how difficult high school would be‚ who I would sit with at lunch time or if I would be able to memorize my locker combination.

Approaching the intimidating building that holds the future of not only the rest of my high school career‚ but my entire life‚ I continue to feel a longing for my old school. I wish for my old friends who I know will recognize me and jump to greet me; my old routine that I grew so accustomed to. But none of that matters now. All that matters is that I currently feel like a “nobody” and I’m certain that is all that I’ll feel for the next two agonizing years of my life. Is it just my imagination

On my first day at my new school‚ I expect many new things to happen as well. Many routines had to be changed too. I had to wake up earlier than usual to prepare for school because the new school was four bus-stops away from my house. Ring‚ ring‚ ring‚ my alarm clock started to go off. One part of me wanted to sleep for a few more minutes while another wanted to head to school immediately. Somehow or rather‚ I got myself to the bathroom to get ready for school. It was a new term and on every first
