Adding an Extra Three Minutes in Between Class Periods

Do you ever find yourself “booking” it to your next class? Do you have to go to your locker in between classes, but you just don’t have time? I always find myself in this position. I am always running in between my classes, and barely making it to my next class on time. I am sure I am not the only student in our school who feels that way. A good solution to this problem would be to add an extra three minutes in between our classes, so that we have time to go to our lockers, and make it to our next class on time. The first benefit that would come from this is that students would make it to there class on time. Second, the students would have time to go to their lockers, and third, the teachers could have more time to prepare the classrooms for the students, and for the following class period. Adding an extra three minutes in between classes would be a very positive thing!

The first benefit that would come from adding an extra three minutes in between classes would be that students could make it to their class on time. Teachers are sometimes “fed up” with students being late. By adding an extra three minutes for “hallway time”, the amount of tardies in the school would significantly decrease. Many of the students just have a long way to walk in between classes, but just have a difficult time getting to class on time and going to their lockers. This is not the only benefit from this solution.

The second benefit that would come from adding an extra three minutes in between classes would be that students would be more prepared for their next class period. Many teachers also complain about students not being prepared for class. Adding three extra minutes in between classes would also significantly reduce the amount of students that are unprepared for the next class period. By adding an extra three minutes to “hallway time” helps the students, but also the teachers.

The third benefit that would come from adding an extra three minutes in between classes would be that teachers would have more time to prepare for the next class period. Many times when I walk into the classrooms, I find that teachers aren’t ready to teach yet, and they make us sit and wait for them to get prepared. Does that seem fair to the students, when the teachers complain about us being unprepared for class when the bell rings? I don’t think so! Teachers could have the papers they needed to be passed out, already handed out on the students’ desks when they get in class, and they would have more time to finish grading their papers that aren’t done being graded!

In conclusion, adding an extra three minutes in between classes would be a great solution to tardies, and students and teachers being unprepared for their next class period. This would be a positive addition to the school’s schedule!
