School Days Should be shorter, not longer

Thank you, 545jthegeec, for your addition to the debate. Good luck. *******Class work --> Homework --> Late NightsMy opponent seems to claim that late nights is a result of an overload of HW/CW (Homework/Class work). However, most schools these days have periods such as Study Hall, or other periods of time during the day where students are allowed to start on their work to reduce the amount of time needed to complete HW at home. Unfortunately, some students may not have this type of class. The resolution can be simple. Down time in class and during lunch time students can get a head start on work that they have assigned for the day. While at lunch they still can eat their food, they would just have to multi-task. Personally, I spend my down time in school to get started on any work I have or may have due the day after. Anger Outbursts? Social Life? Anger OutburstsI fail to see (even with your explanations) how shorter school days would resolve anger outbursts and social challenges with students. I'll take it one topic at a time:Anger Outbursts: "because they would have more time to spend with their friends and could hang out. " Hanging out with friends would hardly resolve anger outbursts. If anything, school would regulate it. For example, you don't see students every day going on rampages in school, flipping tables over and yelling at peers/teachers. For example: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ . School is a place with adult authorities (teachers, campus police officers, etc) that would prevent this type of activity. Based on your argument, if school hours were shorter, there would be more time after the day has ended for these types of outbursts. Social LifeEvery day 1000+ students and faculty get together in one building for the sake of education. This is "social life gold". However, class time is not for socializing. Times for this come throughout the day. For example: Time between periods, lunch, before school starts (in the commons), after school starts (in the commons), etc. The social life a student, however, should not be a factor in changing the hours of a school day. SleepSleep does prove a problem to most students especially in High School, but I don;t see how it relates to violence on campus. However, sleep deprivation shouldn't be a problem (excluding health issues). I'm going to keep this topic as short and sweet as I can because I get this all the time. Q&A:Question: What happens if you get overloaded with homework and have to stay up super late to get it done? Answer: Start your homework earlier. Question: What happens if you have sports after school and get home late with a ton of homework? Answer: Let your coach know and ask to skip practice for the day or leave early to start your homework at home. . All coaches will tell you school comes before sports. Question: What if I have some sort of company coming over, or I am going out to visit family friends? Answer: Start your homework earlier. Question: What if I have to go into school super early tomorrow? Answer: Go to bed earlier, with your homework done. All these scenarios are questions I've come across in my life. There is no excuse for being tired to the point where violence occurs, or to the point where you sleep in class (which is very common). DisciplineWhoa, slow down. I quote: "Also, there would be more of a discipline time for children who are disobedient or disrespectful (ECT. )"I quote: "I think that schools should shorten their hours and minutes for the reasons stated above and for many other reasons. "How would there be more time for students to be disciplined in school if hours were shortened? Shorter school hours = less time for in-school activities (lack of a better word). Time at homeI quote: "as generally teens hate and disregard their parents, twisting their words so they can use their words against them. "The burden of proof for that statement is on you my friend. I would love to see some sort of opinion poll on that. As a moral obligation (I'm not saying all parents), parents raise their child accordingly so they do learn to respect not only their parents, but everyone as well. I quote again: "A bunch of people think their kids are trustworthy, however, it seems to be quite the opposite so often, and their parents don't find out til it's too late. "I don't know where you are getting this from. Possibly personal experience? Or what you see in school? Explain further in the next round and I will respond accordingly.
