Keep Quadmesters
The Issue
Dear Minister Lecce,
From this petition, I would like to reach out because recently I’ve heard talk about semesters coming back starting on February 2. Now this is starting to stress and bring anxiety to some students, as it will be more chaotic.
This quick change will then bring more stress, anxiety, and a lot of running around to get stuff done. The switch to Semester in the middle of this school year not only affects students in school, but it will also affect us in our main lives outside of school. It will give us less free time to get things done as we would have more homework piled up, the feeling of being rushed with due dates, quizzes or tests from 4 courses.
I can't lie, when we had first switched from semesters to quadmesters it took time to get used to, but since we all are used to quadmesters now, I don't see why we should feel rushed again when switching to semesters, when we all feel comfortable and are doing well throughout quadmesters. Quadmesters have way more positives to not only the students, but families and teachers. When we have quadmesters there was a feeling of less rush, anxiety, and stress. During quadmesters it also feels as though you have more time to get things done, not only in school, but also outside of school hours, such as a job. Quadmesters are also more beneficial as it is better for our mental, educational, and physical health. I hope that this petition will help you understand what us students' would like to have done for our education. I would like to ask if you could PLEASE continue with quadmesters until the end of June as it would be very preferable for a lot of students since we started off this school year from quadmesters. I also think it would be most beneficial if we continue doing quadmesters until the end of the school year because switching to semesters in the middle of the school year would also cause confusion, chaos for many students or teachers. From this petition, I would like to reach out to the Ministry of Education or Mr. Stephen Lecce. I would like you to think of our mental health and academic success please. You can go back to Semesters for September if you prefer, so that there is not as much rushing around and it will be less chaotic.
Truly,
Jackson White
