SLHS SCHEDULES
SLHS SCHEDULES
San Leandro High School has recently adapted to a new block schedule with 2 hour class periods on Tuesday's and Wednesdays. We interviewed the students of SLHS to see what their take on this new change was. Most of them agreed that the new schedule negatively impacted their school life.
THE ISSUE
THE ISSUE
The issue students at San Leandro High face is that this new schedule does not benefit us. Some problems that we deal with are not having enough time to eat breakfast, being late to class, and being drained of energy because of waking up at such early times which causes us to not focus in our 2 hour class. Most students do not have the attention span to focus entirely in 2 hour classes with the addition of homework, sports, extra curricular activities, clubs, and social life. Also, most students fall into the routine of not doing their homework for a Tuesday block class since they know they do not have the class the next day. This leaves them having to cram all of their homework on Wednesday night. Not all students are like this, but with students that we have interviewed, they report this is an issue that has come along with the new schedule.
THE SOLUTION
THE SOLUTION
The solutions we have come up with will try to help students at SLHS have a better experience. We believe that the schedule should include just the regular class times. Sometimes the block schedule does help. We should have them but not every week. School starting later may benefit students as well. We can have time to eat breakfast, finish up homework, or just get in time to sleep and be ready for the school day.
