Student Breaks

Student Breaks

By: Topanga Lindaman

            I believe that students should get more breaks at school. At lunch we have a little bit of freedom to eat with our friends, but we never have enough time, and we can’t have our phones out. I don’t think it’s fair, and nearly no students think it’s fair that the teachers can have their phones out and they get a whole hour to plan where they don’t have any students. We could have a “study hour” where we can study, get on our phones, or talk to friends, kind of like the teachers do.

            I feel like it would benefit the students by taking a lot of weight off their shoulders. Many students get stressed with the amount of test or projects they have to do within a day. Having an hour to just relax would relieve the students of their stress and help them focus more throughout the day. It would also help the students prepare for test if they couldn’t the night before because they had stuff to do and it would reduce taking up class time to study.
