Extending School Hourss

Improved Essays
I disagree with the school board to add one and a half hours to school each day. This will give us less time to study,homework, and less time to finish projects. Also, for teachers and staff members this gives them not enough time to work an extra hour and a half. Another reason is because you have to pay teachers and staff members extra money.

    To begin with how would having more hours in the day help the students. The time we have the school at now allows all the students the time they need to sleep for the next day. According to an article by Fox News a high school in Edina Minn changing their start time from 7:20 to 8:30 has “improved attendance, decreased tardiness, left kids more alert, and even made them less likely to go to the nurse”.
