The Dickenson County: Half To The School Day

The Dickenson County School Board wants to add a hour and a half to the school day. I disagree with the idea for three reasons. One, the school day is long enough. Two, children will not have time for sports, clubs, and other after school activities. Three, stress levels are bound to rise with this nonsense. Why add boring hours to dreary days? Staff and students handle more than meets the eye during the day. The effects of a change such as this will only end poorly. In other words, why torture children with the fact that their day is longer and they have more work to complete? Education will be valueless because of longer days because kids will be worn out and tired of school too soon. Additionally the teachers, aids, and coaches have lots
Days are weary and minds only function for a limited time, like those holiday candies, here one day and gone the next! Additional time will tire kids’ minds and make them fall asleep, half of the kids do now as is. Therefore, the disfunction of children will create an unsteadiness in their grades, and they might fail. Along with the failing of kids, the school system will be bothered as well, for the fact that their records may drop and the may look terrible in the eye of society. In a day, at school, there is an abundance of work that is required to be done. Children are pushed beyond limit with drama, work, and stress. More time will trouble them, especially on the inside where no outsider understands. Undoubtedly, in high school these sweet youngsters will have had enough and become dropouts.

Life is not a horror movie or an alarming game. I will not stand to live my own dear life, if life means living in a chilling level of Five Nights at Freddy’s! Children break down, fall apart, give up too easy, and get stressed out too much. That is no reason to believe that just because their bodies are frail and torn happen to be why they will not suffer anymore because trust me kids suffer quite a bit, and if people believe they do not suffer after so long they are wrong. This tragic change means more than a bit of extra learning. Stress is real, and school is one of the main fueling fires. Just like a motor and engine fuel a car, school fuels anxiety and hesitation in
