Students Need Shorter School Days

What is your perspective on today’s high school schedule? From a student’s point-of-view I think it is more stressful than it should be. I believe that we should come to school at the same time as usual but we should only have our four main courses, which are mathematics, english, history, and science. This idea would take so much stress and worrying out of all the students’ minds. First off we would be a lot more focused because there are only four classes instead of seven. Another reason would be that we have a lot more time to do our homework or study for our classes because school would be let out earlier. Surely, there are a lot of students who are involved in after school activities and we will be more effective in our sport or activity because we will have more time to practice. Often you hear students being told to stay focused, pay attention, get on task, or stop slacking well we are all familiar with these terms. Whether it is are teacher telling us or our parents, whoever it might be. As students we ask for people to cut us some slack because we have seven different classes to focus on and it can get very difficult to stay on task all the time. If we just had our four core courses we would only need to worry about four classes instead of seven. We wouldn’t have to worry about our grades as much especially in electives like drivers E.D. and hard working electives like that. I believe that our grades would really improve along with our Fcat scores. Supposedly the reason why we do not get the best grades that were capable of having is because we don’t study or do our homework enough. I agree that might be the case but what do you expect? We have seven classes a day! The first thing I do when I get home from a long hard day at school is take a nap and the last thing I’m thinking about is studying or homework that I have to do. But if we had only four classes I wouldn’t really have to worry about getting it done as much because there wouldn’t be as much to do so it would be such a load of stress of our minds! I think we wouldn’t procrastinate as much as we do now because there would be less work to do so we will just get it done when we get home.
