Students should be allowed to have a 5 minute brain break every class. We are expected to work from 8:00am till 2:45pm. That is to long to be going without taking mental breaks. Psychologist have found that students perform better when they take a mental health break. Most adults do not understand that kids can be put under stress. Working for long periods of time can put a mental strain on our brains. These can lead to mental breakdowns and outburst when we feel trapped and feel as if we can't get out. If we can take 5 minutes a class to process and take in information, we could get better and achieve more. We need to show teachers and parents that we need a break. We could get better grades and produce better quality work. Sign this petition not just for you and your peers, but to show people that we can achieve ANYTHING!
