Leave Pass System

Decent Essays
Mrs. Price:

Next semester the high school teachers would like to put in place a leave pass system as a way to decrease instruction interruption and increase student learning.

The leave pass system is designed to help keep students engaged and in class more frequently. It will also be used as an accountability system to help students recognize the expectations of the five-minute passing periods. At this age, it is important for students to understand the significance of class time to their education and to use the time provided to them already to use the restroom, get a drink, and get any necessary items or materials for their upcoming class.

I have attached the document that we wish to use. Each pass will serve as the passes for ONE week

    One reason we should use this law is so that we can motivate kids to try harder and pay more attention in their classes. In Kentucky this law did not only help motivate the kids to try harder, it also made the teachers try to support the kids more. The author of “No Pass/No Drive” said “Other research has found that when ‘no pass/no drive’ rules exist, school staff members pay closer attention to students who may be at risk of dropping out, and try to help them earlier” (6). This could be caused by the students willingness and ambition to learn. If both the student and teacher is trying to succeed and get better it will cause positive change in the student’s grades.…

    Year Round School Benefits

    The Benefits Year-Round Schooling Since the beginning of time, teaching and learning has been a detrimental part of what makes us able to innovate and experience the world around us. A form of schooling introduced in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s was a year round school system (Pedersen, "The History of School and Summer Vacation"). This system allowed for more days within the learning period and allotted for students to get more out of their education. Research from all the way back to a hundred years ago has shown that students tend to lose information and their footing during a traditional summer vacation (Fairchild, "Why and how communities should focus on summer learning."). The current system most public schools within the…

    Some high school's districts grappled because the school's sports schedules would be infected by starting the high schools later. That was a central worry to some of the school districts. They came up with an idea that the high school students agreed to shorten the number of minutes they take to get from one class to another, it was called passing time. The result was that high schoolers could start school later but end school at about the same time, without disrupting the athlete's schedules. Teachers especially wanted to change because they were concerned about student's attendance and student's readiness to learn the first period of the day.…

    William Butler Yeats once said, “Education is not the filling of the pail, but the lighting of a fire.” This quote is relevant to school and the education system because a balanced year-round schedule will ignite the fire for students to learn. The traditional school schedule should be replaced with a year-round schedule that has periodical breaks. With a balanced schedule, students will have better retention of material without having a long summer vacation. Students will also not fall behind and fail classes.…

    All good things must come to an end, or so they say. For many years, Cuba High School followed an 8 block class schedule. This schedule allowed for longer class periods, but students only went to those classes two to three times a week. Beginning with the 2015-2016 school year, Cuba High School stopped following the 8 block schedule, and the students are worse off for it. The 8 Block school day schedule offers a better learning environment and prepares students for college.…

Many kids get bored during the summer and there is not enough to keep kids occupied the way they did in the beginning of the year. These breaks help prevent this from happening because they can rest their brains for enough days, but not forget what they learned.…

    Process Analysis Students in school wonder if it 's possible to get all A 's in their classes or maybe just one class. I’m going to start off with experience from school. With some of the experience that I had in school I think it is possible to get an A but the student has to be on the ball and not slack off at the end. Students just have to try hard and not get distracted when they are doing their work or studying. If they could do that then there will be no problem on passing the class with a good grade.…

    Every year, thousands of students throughout the world spent their last year of high school applying for college to decide what will be the right choice in furthering their education. While a wide variety of students decide to proceed straight into college others would prefer to have a gap year. A gap year is when students take a year off away from the school. Students, who graduate from high school, should take a year off before starting a new chapter in life, therefore the gap year can allow the student to take a break from school and add excessive time to decide what career to excel in. The student should not take a gap year unless the student is sure of what career to pursue in.…

    Finding new ways to persuade students to be present to class is vital for the administration. Eliminating one day per week could be enough to motivate the students to attend class more frequently. As a consequence to this solution, the attendance policy would be more strict, fewer days would be allowed to miss, and classes would be longer. Every class Monday-Thursday would be an hour and thirty minutes long, instead of having fifty minute classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and an hour and a half classes on Tuesday and Thursday. Nevertheless, with a four-day school week, students would be able to fit more activities in on their three day break for friends and family, relaxation, and job responsibilities.…
