Longer Passing Periods

 Longer Passing Periods

By: Rylee Simonson

Do you think we should be able to have longer passing periods? Many people think the passing periods are way too short. Everyone has to get their stuff for their next class period, put it in the classroom, talk to their friends, and go to the bathroom all in three minutes.

After asking people if we should be able to have longer passing periods and why, this information was gathered. 

Lacey Hartley says, “Yes! Because three minutes isn’t enough time, especially if you have an elective that’s all the way across the school and far far away”. This is true. Some people have to walk between grade-level hallways and still go to the bathroom in the time in between that. 

Jenna Krick says, “Yes! So that we have more time to get our things and use the toilet”. Many people agree with this. We have to go to the bathroom, and passing period would be the best time, but it’s just too short. Especially considering that when we try to go during class, we aren’t allowed to. Or, we are late if we go during passing periods.

In conclusion, we should be able to have longer passing periods. People don’t have a lot of time and if you need to go to the bathroom, and it doesn’t help how crowded it is in passing period. The teachers only let you go if you are legitimately about to wet your pants, and honestly, no one wants that. So, we should be allowed a longer time in between classes, or be able to go to the bathroom during class.
