Decent Essays
How would you feel if your school board added an extra hour and a half to you day? Well, some schools now have longer school days; eight and a half hours to be exact. Now the school boards think this is play but some students and parents think this is outrageous. How would you feel if something like this happened to your school? I don’t agree with the school board because if you add more time to the schooldays, then you wont get as much time with your family when you get home. You schooled be with your family more than being at school. our family is more important than school so it isn't fair.
