In hopes to make your final decision, we have some reasons on why we feel this way. One thing is that students don’t tend to wake up early enough, which would cause them to be late to class all the time and then cause them to miss a lot of classes if you add up there all the minutes they missed. Another reason on, why not to shorten the morning bell is they would fall asleep in class a lot, which wouldn’t be good for the student’s work habits.…
This emotionally powerful and intellectually stimulating; motivational and entertaining move, whichdramatically executed real life scenes,captured the attention of many, was acted out by ‘150’ students (teens) of room 203of theWoodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, Los Angeles, California 1992; directed under the stewardship of an inexperienced fresh-faced, idealistic twenty-three year oldteacher Erin Gruwellbetter known as (Ms. ‘G’). Room 203 students were a diverse group of racially charged teenagers – African Americans, Hispanics,Asians and one Caucasian male, all from different walks of life. Some were juvenile delinquents, gang members and underprivileged coming from poor neighborhoods, who hoped for nothing more, than…
Krueger middle school claims they need more time to get from class to class. Some students are running from class to class and get hurt. If there's 5 minutes that will be enough time to get a drink and go to the bathroom so there's no valuable time taken away from class. Also if one student shows up tardy it distracts the whole class because they have to turn around and look who came in. If everybody's on time to class there's more time to learn. Its also very convenient for teachers if there's 5 minutes, because they don't have to leave the class to go to the bathroom. A student from krueger middle school stated, ‘Three minutes is not enough time to get there and get your things out of your locker. This year for tardies we have to go to court. Nobody wants THAT! Even if it makes our day a little longer , the time will be well…
I do declare and so do others believe Activity Time is a privilege and also very efficient. Without the social and physical time that we need, not only does this bring upon more stress for teachers, it also has for students of Ligon GT Magnet Middle. The 20 minutes taken out of our day is a time to let loose all energy and be ready to focus as soon as we return to our classes. All students should have the right to make up any work that they might have for a teacher in a timely manner, as well complete it for credit. This makes life easier for students, but for teachers, it helps them to be organized instead of them having to chase you down to get your work in. Now since time is longer during class periods, we are all gaining weight because we sit down all day. We, students at Ligon Middle deserve to have time for extra help needs instead of coming after school, or having to most likely figure it out on your own.…
Even 30 minute differences help improve students scores from B to B+, or a C to C+. “In the past three years, however, scientific studies have piled up, and they all lead to the same conclusion: a later start time improves learning. And the later the start, the better”(Fischetti). Even studies over the US show that later start times improve grades. “Tiredness and fatigue, however, tend to diminish motivation, particularly for tasks perceived as boring or tedious”(Foster).its the motivation and energy in the kids that era them the good grades. When it is clear that later start times improve grades schools should be determined to help the students.…
Students may become more involved with school. They will decrease their bad behaviors. Not to mention the mood shift for the better. Many studies have all pointed to the same thing: later start times are much better for the students. Students will be able to sleep longer and feel much more well rested. That leads to all kinds of academic, mental, and behavioral benefits. Make schools better with just one simple step: delay the start time. By benefiting the students, the schools are raising a better generation and, therefore, a better future for all of…
Many statistics would change if so. Students’ academics would increase in percent, students’ would get involved in school more, and bad incidents would decrease by far. However, the opposite side of this argument is against it because they don’t know all the qualities and facts coming from it. It’s time for school start times to be…
In class, students are learning and absorbing information, but to remember what they learned, it needs to set in, which takes time. Recess gives them a break they need to let what they learned to soak in. Recess allows them to take a break from what they just learned and went out into an environment of pure fun and relaxation. Many adults can't work for multiple hours straight so they shouldn't expect children to do the same. Many offices give breaks to their workers and to take that away would be unfair, therefore causing their employees to less productive.…
To begin, with more time in class students have much more time in class to ask questions. In class with only having 49 minutes teachers do not have enough time in class to get through everything they need to and still answer students questions. Asking questions is a important part in the learning process and is one of the key ways to learn. Therefore a 6 hour block will improve learning. Also, a 6 hour block will improve students grades. EJMHS students do not have the best grades. In fact this year on the NWEA testing there was almost a 20 point difference in understanding reading, and reading. This is a big issue. Students need more time in class to learn more. They do not have enough time in class to learn as much as they can and sometimes they are quizzed on subjectsthey haven't learned enough of. If students are able to have more time in class students will be able to take more in during class and be able to keep up. It is also hard to keep up at the pace that some of the teachers are going at now. Sometimes students end up just writing down the shorthand of what the teacher says and they don't ask questions on what they are confused on. Students need to be able to ask questions, if teachers are going 100 miles per hour in class the students are more focused on writing down what the…
Do you think that middle schoolers should have time for recess? I don’t think that middle schools should have a set time for recess. Recess is for little kids not almost adults.…
Middle schoolers need to exercise to stay healthy and do better in the classroom. Students in Middle School should have recess.…
One reason we should have longer recess is because if students get their energy out, most pay better attention in class. For example, the article Recess Makes Kids Smarter states that when children have recess, they gain the following…
ll day in the classroom kids are being told: "Be quiet. Sit still. Be quiet. Sit still," says Nelly Torres, a parent of a first and a fourth grader in the Chicago Public Schools. "That's because they need their recess."…
Should good students be awarded and recognized more for their academics? Today in a wide variety of schools, students do not get awarded enough for their success in their studies. I believe that more schools, teachers, and principals should push for more rewards for their students and also give them the recognition they deserve. I believe that in our school, opening viking times and study halls for students with a grade average of a 3.5 or higher would serve as a huge benefit for our students and grades.…
Well I got some ideas that will stop you from getting cranky, having people yell at you, and being late for class. My first idea is to have designated spots for people to stop and talk if they please, is have wider halls with a fast and slow lanes, third idea is if you are caught stopping in the halls and causing people to slow down you will have a consequence and final is you are able to push them out of the way. Hopefully one day all these slow walking people will learn to walk faster or get out of my…
