A lot of people wish that their school could be changed in an instant. The school does need to be changed and today I will be showing you my input on the changes. In this essay I will be discussing topics such as why we should have naptime, no homework, and no state tests.
Sleeping is a very important part in a young adults life. They are supposed to get more than 8 hours of sleep at night and most of the time they have after school activities with no time to rest or relax. The lifestyle of a teenager is devastating and the only way we can help is if we provide naptime in your schools. At least one hour they are there. Elementary school children take naps, what makes teenagers different? The only way we can keep our teenagers, our future, alive is to keep them healthy and rested.
Homework will not help us in the future. Unless you would like to be a teacher and grade papers for your homework, you wont have homework your whole life if you are that age. Homework get our grades down, prevents us from getting the right amount of sleep and even lowers our self esteem. If we eliminate homework altogether then all the problems are halfway gone in our school systems and they will be graded on their in class work and tests. It will prevent cheating in the home and they can work without being given answers. Homework is the least thing a teenager needs right now and we must stop this madness.
State tests should be an option for each student who decides to participate. State tests can be a hassle and sometimes depressing. The hassle of studying can lead to health risks. If people would like to know how they are progressing academically they can take the tests and know how they are progressing. They can take the tests and see which levels they need to improve on. This helps but if the child does not need to stress or feel the need to improve their grades then they don't have to take the test. They should give the teenager an option of when to take the test and they will decide when, that way, they can study as long as they would like to and take the test when they are prepared.
