Panther Time to Pass Confucius once said, “study the past if you would divine the future”. For our divine future a study hall like program is necessary. Panther Time should be a continued program. Teachers can benefit greatly from panther time. If a student is behind they know what class they can pull them from to help them, or they would have to search for them.

Also it gives an opportunity for those who need help with a project to seek it during the day instead of after school when teachers probably want to get other things done. Students would also benefit from its continuation. Many enjoy the extra

    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.…

    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.…

    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.…
