Open campus study halls are free periods where you can leave the school for a period and have free time. These study halls are typically given to seniors to have more opportunities to go home or get a mid day treat, but it also gives them responsibilities to arrive to there other classes on time. Many seniors, especially in semester two, have more than one study hall. Many schools allow their students tohave more than one study hall, but plan on changing it because students often miss their last classes after leaving for so long and kids show up late to their classed after leaving to go home.
Students are becoming less reliable and more lazy, so the more study halls they have the more they want to skip their next classes. Student often think if they have study halls toward the end of the day that there is no purpose in going to their last class, for example if the student has study halls 6th and seventh period and a business class eighth hour they tend to skip it and find excuses to not go. Older student also have open campus during lunch so they can go hame or out to eat, and they tend to not show up for their next class. Schools also encourage seniors to be at the school to be the examples for the school and to represent to the younger students, and they need some one to look up to so when kids dont show up for their classes it does leave a negative impact on others.
I think that multiple open campus classes are exciting but students have to pe responsible enough to earn them. I do think the older you get the more freedom you should have, so I am for open campus study halls. Student need balance of home life and school life and this is a great way to ensure that. I also beleive that students have multiple study halls because they did well the last few years in their classes, so open campus is a way of saying good job. I think many student also feel safer in their home and thats why they thend to go home and not come back, so if the school can find a way to help students feel safer then they would want to come back.
There are many pros to look at like for example this gives upper classman a break and they get to go spend time with their family and it also gives these student responsibility to back to school on time. Another example is it helps kids feel less stressed when they can go home, student often work better in their home environment. There are also many cons, for example student dont go back to classes after they leave for a long enough time. Some students also use this time to be irresponsible. Students also rely on others to tell them when to go back to school, so when they leave for school they show up late.
Do you think we should have more than one open campus study hall?
What would you do in your free time during an open campus stud hall?

I think that open campus is something that students work for during their highschool career. When having open campus some may feel more responsible and also have to prove that they are responsible. It could be a good way for them to manage time, and what they need to do in their free time.
I fully agree with you.
I like your opinion peice of this writing and you prove a very good piont. I agree that they need a balance of home and school life. I agree with everything you said.
when it comes to older kids in highschool and them taking college classes i think this idea is a very good idea. For those who have their future somewhat planned out i think it would be very good for them. I think that we should have more than one open campus study hall.
In my free time i would study for hard college classes, get lunch or other food, ect. I think their is many benificial things kids can do over their break and they can find many ways to use their time well. I think thsi topic if very good and has many different ideas and opinions on it.
I agree with you on the fact that this gives upper classman a break and they get to spend more time with their family. I also liked that you mentioned how it can help kids feel more stressless and they get to go home. One more thing i liked was the cons you included, how some wouldnt go back to their class becuase they dont have the motivation.
I really like the fact that you stated when you talked about them getting less stressed. This could make them feel more free and more independent before college. Which is a good responsibility to have early in life.
I think this could be a good option for older students becuase they are more mature and know how to use their time to work on diffucult classes or get done what they need to get done. On the downside for the younger students some would not use this time wisley and ruin it for other kids. This totally depends on the person and just the situation that the students are in. It can vary a lot depending on many different things
I like your answer strongly. The ways that you say you are going to use your free time are very smart. But some people might not use them like this and do what they could be doing to help them. But these are some great ideas to do in my free time.
I would use this open time to potentially work, eat lunch, or work on difficult college classes. I feel like this open time is neccesary for student's success and it also helps students have more open time in order to work or make money or even spend more time with their family.
