First of all, homework causes stress on students. We may as well just spend all day at school if we are having school at home anyways. Students should go to school, work on “school” work, then come home and not do “school” work at home. This would increase the productivity and attitudes of students. I, for one, would be in a much better mood concerning school if I knew that I didn’t have to look forward to coming home to more school work.…
This Hawk Helpers day has numerous benefits and will positively impact our student culture at FHE. Through volunteering and participating in other activities the students of our school can become closer to each other, leading to a more connected school culture. (Insert something that connects to the WHY conclusion here) However, it might seem that the drawbacks of this plan outweigh the benefits. In reality, no event is perfect, and despite its possible weaknesses, this plan for a Hawk Helpers day should be accepted and implemented.…
If kids didn’t have to worry about getting certain assignments done for the next day, I do agree with Darter that, kids would have more time to be kids. In her article Darter refers to a study done at Duke University. The study showed that “all it does is negatively impact kids’ attitudes towards school, learning, and their parents(the homework enforcers).” This research shows, not proves, that homework does have an effect on studies ability to do well in…
Emory Douglas’s pieces titled Afro-American Solidarity with the Oppressed and Panther Sisters on Women’s Liberation are two pieces that show Douglas’s revolutionary art that were powerful symbols of the Black Panther Party (BPP). The Black Panther Party for Self Defense was founded by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale in 1966 to protect minority communities against the United States government. The BPP also used community based programs and mass organization to start revolutionary socialism. Both pieces show the importance that women played in the movement. Despite the idea of women with power is often overlooked, they were a key part in forming the BPP.…

Lots of schools have year round school. All of them have proved to be successful. Having year-round school would be beneficiary for two main reasons, better time allotments for family vacations so less kids would miss, and people in low-income homes would benefit with year long food service and assistance from staff. According to the Encyclopedia of Education, all schools that implemented year round school, have determined it successful and decided to keep it in their school. Even with some of the arguments made against year round education, the majority of people like this option.…
It is important for Middle School students to have recess because they need to burn off energy, they need to exercise, they also need some fresh air.’’ More and more researchers, educators, and parents are realizing that not only is playground time good for kids -- it is crucial. Here's why it just may be the fourth "R" in school, and what you can do to make sure your child gets a healthy dose of downtime.” Many middle school students think that they deserve to have a recess or two a day because they need to go outside and explore and have fun with their friends.

The Mill Valley High School Board members should reject the proposed idea of a later school day because it is beneficial to students with after school activities such as sports and jobs. The idea that a later school day is beneficial towards students is preposterous because students with after school activities and jobs would need to be out of school at an earlier hour. Take John Sherwood’s testimony for example. He complains, “But it’s going to make football practice a nightmare. We won’t be able to be dressed and on the field until 4:45, and in October, it starts getting dark by 5:30...…

After watching the film “The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution” I definitely learned more information about the Black Panthers and the roles that they played to protect blacks. Before watching any of this film prior I can say that I really didn’t know much about the Black Panthers. I know for a fact that my previous history teachers barely covered anything on the Black Panther Party. I remembered in these classes we may have briefly covered organizations that supported blacks, but I don’t think that any specific details were talked about or much about revolutionary leaders. Other than the general topics or leaders, such as Martin Luther King Jr., schools don’t have it mandatory that we should know more.…

People worldwide are concerned about schools starting too early in the day and have been debating about the benefits of later school start times. Every weekday, students must face the struggle of waking up early to get ready for school without getting enough sleep the night before. Schools starting at a later time during weekdays would allow students to have extra time to sleep in the morning and be more alert and focused. This can result in less sleep-related car accidents and tardies. It can also provide opportunities for students to succeed in school because studies show that alert students are more willing to study and understand concepts than if they were tired.…
Time that can be better spent is with family and having fun participating in extracurricular activities. Eliminating homework allows students the reward of free time and the invaluable time spent with family. Homework creates unnecessary stress and strain for parents and students alike. Also, homework allows teachers to pawn off their own teaching responsibilities to students and parents with hours of homework.
