As a freshman in high school at Nashua South, I think my voice speaks for all the students when I say we NEED half days.  School is stressful and it’s relaxing to be have half days.  Ask any student and they’ll say the day is already better when it’s been cut in half.  I’m sure even teachers will agree.  Half days don’t even hurt the curriculum that much as they’re only once a month and don’t interfere with major test.  Combining all these reasons I think we should bring back the half day, as it benefited the mental health of countless students and teachers and set aside a more free schedule, while being rare enough to not hurt the overall learning done in a school year.
