As a student in Arizona, I am personally affected by the mandatory moment of silence observed every morning in our schools. This practice, although seemingly harmless, is proving to be a waste of valuable time that could be better utilized for academic purposes or as a buffer between home room and the beginning of class.

some students have expressed their discomfort with this. just all the students at my high school do not like it and a few have back pain 

Additionally, considering that adolescents require approximately 8-10 hours sleep per night according to Nationwide Children's Hospital and many are still drowsy during early morning classes, this moment could be used more effectively towards waking up and preparing for learning.

The majority view among students is that this moment is boring and not needed

Let us advocate for an educational environment that respects individual preferences and optimizes learning conditions rather than adhering to wastes of time. Please sign this petition if you believe in making our schools more efficient and better for students
