Snow Day Speech

Improved Essays
I'd like to take a moment to thank our wonderful school district for keeping it's loyal and hardworking students in mind when deciding to not cancel school due to snow days. We students, especially those who live hours out of town, love driving in treacherous, dangerous, terrifying weather conditions where they can enjoy a full day of education. Because, really, what is more important than a child's education? Certainly not their health. A student's health should be the least of their concerns! And for those children who have to walk to school - they adore walking through miles of snow, ice, and harsh wind. It is truly the highlight of their day!

When the children of our fair school district arrive at our school, we are beyond ourselves with delight to be at school! The weather is not a distraction, but an aid in our focus on learning. We could not care less about our families or pets who may have to endure the harsh weather outside - we are much too focused on our educations!! Imagine if our district did decide to have a snow day! We would despise being stuck at home instead of with our teachers as they teach us valuable things that we will use every day of our lives! Students would not benefit at all from a spontaneous break from school. We would return to school the next day, glum as ever, and grumble (as opposed to learning) about being forced to have the day off because of deathly weather conditions.

It would be a hindrance to cancel or delay school because of the weather! It's just weather, right? Who doesn't love losing toes or fingers while walking to school in weather 40 degrees below zero? I most certainly look forward to that joy. Let's all support our school district in their care-taking of us, and go to school even when there are snow

    School times can sometimes be absurdly early, but because of later start times some problems stir up. Later school start times can increase grades and the well being of the kids, but the downfall of that is that schools have to pay extra for more buses because usually a district only has a few busses, which then makes the school start times staggered. Although the wellbeing of kids is far more important. The idea of staggering school time is smart but if its hurting the health of people I would pay the extra money to keep kids safe. The first reason that school should start later is because it will allow kids to be more well rested and makes it easier to focus.…

    51 N. Grandview Ave Dubuque, Iowa 52003 9/22/15 Stan Rheingans 2300 Chaney Road Dubuque, Iowa 52001 Dear Mr. Stan Rheingans: Summer break is great in all, but year-round school will allow students to still get a break every once and a while and they won’t forget as much as they would have over the summer. My name is Adam Kramer; a student at Washington Middle School. I am writing this letter to try and persuade you into thinking why our school district should change our regular school days into year-round school.…

    Even in a situation where the teacher miss school due to sickness or any family matter they held back their whole class because of the day the teacher miss they aren't able to teach material the students need to be prepared. While in a year round school, that wouldn't be a problem because time is always in their side. Even if the student misses class they would still be able to be in same term with the other student because of all the time they have and get the chance to get back in pace. Same case for the teacher because even if they miss school they can still have their student ready. Time is always with year round schools and they can take their time to teach student and with more time can better truly understand the subject and truly be prepared in the future.…

    With the short breaks that year-round school schedules provide, students are less likely to be bored and have less of a slide in knowledge. According to Jordan Catapano, year-round schools’ break schedules add more options for vacations and rests. Opposed to long breaks, these breaks are more ideal because they also relieve summer slide. With short, frequent breaks, teachers don’t have to surrender much time to review lessons (Catapano). Students and their families have more vacation options because of the many breaks, but they don’t have the option of summer camps and jobs with the year-round schedule.…

    Should all public schools switch to going year round? There are multiple schools that are transferring to teaching all year round. Though there are some benefits, there are also many downfalls to this idea. For example, families with kids in different schools operating on different tracks could have a tough time scheduling day care or family vacations (Nair). This is one reason along with many others.…

    Waking up really early for another day of school isn’t probably fun for anyone, especially for the kids who have to be at school before 8:00 or 8:30 am and for the parents who have to drag their kids out of bed. What if students get really tired at school and not be able to do their work? Aren’t you worried about their health problems too? Maybe, school should start later so kids can get enough sleep and not having to wake up so early to go school when they’re still tired. Well, we’re about to find out.…

    Many have argued if Florida schools should switch to year-round school. Florida should not switch to year-round school because it will make attending after school activities difficult and would make it harder, on parents who have to work over the time that their children are off from school. Year-round school would allow students and teachers to have more stretched out breaks instead of one long summer, that may lead to summer slide. Changing to year-round school would make everything harder so Florida should stick with traditional and not switch to year-round. First of all, after school activities including sports, music and many more are a great way for students in the community to stay active and involved.…

    Year Round School is causing many problems all over the U.S. For example coming from Glori Chaika, some schools even have to start earlier because of the effects of year round school. During the summer schools starts at 6:50 A.M and ends at 1:10, this is because the school wants kids to be able to participate in P.E, but they can not if it is 110 degrees out. This shows that the schools are in a big loss of not only education but costs too. If the school can not even pay for air conditioning anymore then we should not have Year Round School; it will negatively affect families and students.…

    My Declaration of Independence of why there should be four days of school When, in the course of humans events, it becomes necessary for students to dissolve a school week of five days, which have connected them with other students, and assume that school should only have four days for the school week. The first amendments allows us to have the right to petition and have freedom of speech on this topic on four days of school. This will benefit students, parents, and teachers because, we would have more time at home with our family. I will write this to Mrs.Powell, and the Polk county school board. The students and teachers would be less stress if they know that we get to take…

    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...…
