Personal Narrative: No Snow Days

Decent Essays
No Snow Days this Year We haven’t used any snow days this year. Here’s what I have to say about that. Because we haven’t used any snow days this year, we should add five minutes to school days, because we would get a longer summer, we could do more activities, and have more fun. Adding five minutes to school days. We wouldn’t have to go to school longer than we need to. Each school day would be only five minutes longer. There would be a little bit more time to learn. Those are the reasons we should add five more minutes to school days. We would would have a longer summer, adding two weeks. Being able to do more things than usual. Hanging out with your friends a lot more than usual. Have more time to spend with your family. A lot more time

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”. Since our start time is already 8:30 our students will have time to get plenty of sleep. Although the time we start school is okay the amount of time we have in the day is way too little in an article by Nancy Kalish even Paul Reville a professor of education at Harvard said “trying to cram everything our 21st-century students…

    When I was a child, I remember the coldest winter days growing up in Chicago. The winter time was my favorite time of the year. My mom used to dress me in layers and layers of clothes to keep me warm to protect my delicate skin from the harshness of the cold weather. As soon as we made it outside I would find the highest point in the snow and make my snow angels. My favorite part of winter was waking up on Christmas morning to see the pure white blanket of snow covering every inch of my street and the glistening of Christmas lights, decoration, and the sound of Christmas carols which made the view so magical.…
