It is time for Northwestern Lehigh school district to change some of the school rules. One rules that should be changes is having a hall pass. Another rules that should changed is students can not have or use there cell phone during school. My hopes these rules would be changed in the near future. First rule that most people would agree with me is that we should have to carry a hall pass.…
Should the school board add on one and a half hour ? The school board should not add on one and a half hours to our school hours, because some kids might have another job, some have sports to do, they might have something important to do. The reason they shouldn’t add on a hour and a half is because some kids or teachers might have another job to attend. Most teachers have a second job they have to be at .…
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. Many teachers deserve a half hour or so to relax and get things together.…
First, Getting rid of suspensions and going for more serious punishments would be the better decision because, When kids get suspended they think they get to stay home and do nothing. Surveys consistently show that parents support suspension, because it keeps those students perceived as bad apples away from their peers. Principals continue to rely on suspension, in part because it creates the appearance of toughness. Parents can’t complain about inaction when a principal regularly suspends or expels bad actors. It is true that suspensions seem like the right way to go for a punishment, but kids might take the two days off the wrong way and not learn about their mistake.…
Should Students Make Up Snow Day? Should students make up snow days? If you miss a day of school do you think you should go back to school on the weekend or when you're on summer break? No! Students should not have to make up snow days.…
The amount of absence days allowed now is functional and needs no adjusting. There are times when absences are not the parents fault, kids easily make up the work, and harsh punishments are for legalistic dynasties not democratic school systems. A day at school is not worth 50 dollars and should not be fined that way. Although there should be punishment for outrageous absences, it should not be enforced at such a hard level of…
Do you think that a four day school week would be beneficial to students and teachers? A four day school week would mean longer days, but a shorter week. This would give students and teachers an extra day added to their weekend. Research proves that a four day school week would be beneficial to students and teachers. A four day school week is beneficial for the schools financial gain.…
One other thing is that even if that law is enforced they should not fine the parent for their children missing school. The first reason they should keep the law the same is that people get sick. If you are sick you can't come to school because you could spread the sickness you have. Also most of the time when you are sick your whole body hurts so you wouldn't want to come to school and walk…
Students are overworking their brains and their bodies. “Longer school days could result in attention deficit and fatigue, making the extra class time ineffective.” By shortening the school days, students will have more time to focus on other things. Students will have more time to study for upcoming tests or quizzes, and would still have time to socialize. Students will have more time to sleep or rest which results in students staying…
Supporting College Level Attendance Policy The attendance policy has been enforced for years and is normally introduced to children at or near the age of five in elementary school. From this early age, children in public schools are shown that a good attendance record has positive consequences such as a “perfect attendance party” and a poor attendance record has negative consequences such as “flex week”, which is an extra week of class once the school year has ended. At this point it is the responsibility of parents to enforce acceptable attendance as mandated by the state. Elementary students are taught from the beginning that attendance plays a major role in progressing to the next grade level. The fear of failure is a very strong incentive for every student.…
There should be a number limit of absences for all students especially the ones who take session classes and fast track classes. This will still allow the students to show responsibility as young adults growing up in life. There is no way possible we as students will be able to attend school every day without no hesitation. Things will happen where we have no control over them, and we can’t just say “well there is no way to miss a day of school”. Even if someone tells us to save our days there aren’t really much days to, because those few days will be used in a matter of no time.…
You should not be fined or heavily punished for missing school. Sometimes something will come up that causes you to miss a day or two of school. You could have a family emergency or a sickness. You also have school for 9 straight months, missing 1 day every once in awhile isn't going to kill you. Some students may also not be financially good enough to pay the fine.…
Although I believe that a student should not be punished for missing days of class, the student should not allow that to influence their decision of not coming to class. Overall, a student should always try to their best to learn and always come to class, since after all they are in charge of their own education, and what they benefit from coming to class would reflect greatly on their overall…
Even if it doesn’t seem like it makes sense, those couple extra hours will show students that they are being trusted and will make them do even better to try to get the policy completely lifted. When these students are given a little bit, they will take it and show you why they deserve more. This is just the beginning of being an adult and if we are taught that being trustworthy gets us more, then we will be honest adults. This is obviously better than the alternative where we learn to sneak and lie. As some of the biggest influences on our futures, which would you rather us…
Extra-curricular activities, AP classes, and jobs…what do they all have in common? They take vast amounts of time out of a student’s day. Each time I think about students who have to juggle all three of these, one thought always comes to mind- how do they do it? Just considering the load of stress a student who goes to school and takes at least two AP classes, has to stay after school for a sport or a club, and then goes straight to their job has makes me worried for them.…
