School Schedule Article

By: Chyann Howard

All students at Constitution High School return after a 4-day weekend, a 10th grader named Dominiq Gilyrad says “ What the schedule?” His friend, Thomas Gorman responds “ I think it’s 1-2-3-4” Dom says No I think it’s 4-1-2-3” Tom says “What day is it?” Dom says Isn’t it Monday or is it Tuesday?” Both yell, “ I DON’T KNOW!!!!” A school schedule is a routine for students for their classes they must attend. All students get their school schedule on their first day of school. Even after 3 years being open, teachers and students still have different views on our school schedule.

Many students might agree with our school schedule here at Constitution. Classes are 90 minutes long. People might even say it’s really beneficial to them. Gina Sedgwick, counselor at Constitution says, “ It gives students enough time to work and concentrate” Students believe that having 90 minute classes are enough time for them to get a lot accomplish. To get time to ask teachers more questions so they understand their work.

On the other hand, some students disagree with our school schedule. Students think why 90 minute classes? Why do we need 1& ½ hrs in one class? A 10th grader, Terence Daniels comments on this topic by saying “ It’s too long to be in one class” He also says “ Students won’t and don’t concentrate that long in one class.
Many people in Constitution believe we need change. How much should we change it? 11th grader Sabria Wilson says, “ We need to cut minutes to get to our classes to 3 minutes” We should have shorter classes. Cut our 5 minutes that we supposedly need to get to our classes.

Our schedules affect us more than then people think. Our school schedule is beneficial and ridiculous. Schedules can be long schedules can be short. As we look forward to next year. We expect these changes to be made if not students will still complain about it until we get change.

Schedules are sometimes they way we want it but sometimes they aren’t. Either way we have to deal with it because we have to go to school if we want an education. And if we want to have something better in our lives.
