Why Would We Change Our School Schedule?

Decent Essays
Why would we change our schedule when everything is currently working out? Changing things would be entirely too complicating. We also have just enough free time during the day. Students shouldn't have outdoor breaks because students already have breaks, breaks would take away from learning time, and it would be difficult to get students back on track.
Electives and Lunch Provide enough free time. Why would students need more? Students have thirty minutes of lunch and about an hour and thirty minutes of electives. That's two hours of free time. Students don't come to school to socialize, they come to learn. Another thing is that students have five minutes between classes to talk to their friends. Overall, two hours of free time is enough.

    Should we have year-round school? Year-round school should be implemented in our school district. Three main reasons why I think there should be year round school is that, for one, it would help prevent long breaks that could potentially weaken students academically, and after the break, it would take a while to review. Secondly, the 9 month calendar we currently use was originally made based around when kids would go home and work on farms, but now, this isn’t a common practice. Lastly, teachers and students would benefit mentally from breaks spread out all throughout the year.…
