Students go to school for 8 hours every week and we have to get up very early in the morning. When students are in school for longer they are able to learn more and they would have more time to get their homework done, but lots of teachers take the whole class to teach the lesson giving no time to their homework. After school students are in sports or have a job and they don’t have any time to do their homework. So if the day would be shorter it would help students have more time to do homework. It would also give teachers more time to plan lessons and grade our tests and homework.
Some pros about having longer days would be that students wil have more time to learn and study. They also won’e feel so rushed that they have to get everything done. Cons would be that if students have a lot of homework and they are in sports or have a job they would not have time at night to do homework. If they don’t get there homework done then they get a zero bringing their grade down, and then they are so focused on having a good grade. If they don’t have a good grade then they could become ineligible for sports.
I think that school days should be shorter so students have more time to do homework and they don’t have to be so stressed about not getting their homework done. Students would be less stressed if the day was shorter because after shool they go to sports or work, and then when they get home they are staying up for a long time to do homework and study.
Do you think that school days should be shorter?
Do you think it would make students less stressed?

Good topic choice and well done overall Jenna! Be sure to comment back on three different days.
I think that school days in general should not be shorter because we need the time to learn; otherwise we would not have enough time and teacher try to teach the same amount in less time. Maybe a short day every two weeks or something would be nice. Just to have the time to relax at that day.
I think that school days shpould be shorter because many kids have other things to do like sports or go to work. It would definetly give students more time to relax or work on other things. I think that around a 6 hour school day would be a good amount for everyday.
I agree students have other stuff going on and they need more to do stuff.
yes and no cause if there too short there's no point in school. yes, it would.
I think school days should be shorter and maybe start a little later. I feel like most of the time we are so tired in the first classes because it is really early. I feel that students will feel less stress especially the ones that work or have a sport after school.
I agree they will feel less stress.
Yes, I think that the school day should be shorter. I think that we should start school later because research has been done that teenagers brains are trained to stay up later rather than get up earlier. I think that it could help with students being less stressed, but I also think giving less homework would help as well.
I agree students would be less stressed if the day would be shorter.
Yes, I do think that school days should be shorter because it is hard to get all the homework done if you have a sport after school or a job. If we had shorter school days then we would have more time to get it done and students wouldn't be so tired in school.
