June 4, 2022Don’t you all think that the school days are just way too long? We spend almost half of our day at school. Then we also have to come home and have a lot of homework to catch up on. I believe that the school days should be shorter and here’s why!
Going to school for 6 hours a day is very exhausting. If we have shorter days that means we can get more sleep. It is good to get more sleep because it improves our memory, learning and creativity. The more sleep we get the more we can concentrate at school. This also means we would have enough time for homework. We go to school but most of the time we don’t finish doing work because of people distracting us. Then you have to do the work when you get home as homework. Sometimes we have to stay up late to do our homework but with shorter school days we wouldn’t have to.
If we have shorter school days we would have more time to do other hobbies. We could try out other activities and sports that we like. Doing sports is good because it improves our heart function, lowers stress levels, improves mood, and we’d learn how to do teamwork. We can also learn how to play different types of instruments. It is important to play instruments because it improves our creativity, relieves stress, builds confidence, and it also improves our patience, memory, and social life!
We would also have more time to spend with our family and more time to travel together. So if we have shorter days we can have more time with our family to go on walks or to the park. The more time we spend with our family increases our happiness. Our family can help us in stressful situations that can lead to more confidence. A lot of students' parents come home late so if we have shorter school days we would be able to finish our homework by the time our parents come back to spend the rest of the day with them. It is also important to travel with our family because we can explore new cultures and travelling can make us more relaxed and also build a lot of memories.
In conclusion, I think that our school days definitely should be shorter so we can enjoy our life.
