No Edginuity

The Issue

CMS took away our Team Time Study Hall. They replaced it with Edginuity. Edginuity serves no purpose. We have already learned or never will learn most of the content. It is also very boring and I don't think any student enjoys doing it. We need to end this torture. 

First of all, it takes away the precious 50 minutes of study hall that we call Team Time. Team Time gives us time to work on our missing work, to help raise our grades. Replacing it with Edginuity takes away this time. This causes students to fall behind in their classes and makes their work stack up. Teachers might think that the stuff we are learning on Edginuity is the same stuff that we are learning in our classes, but it is not. We have either already learned or never will learn (in our near future) most of it. The stuff is either too easy or too hard. Either way Edginuity is not helpful.

Second, it is so boring. We watch 20 minutes worth of the pointless videos, and then do a test, that most of us end up failing. The students hate it. It is pure torture. Plus, since it is so boring, most of the class doesn't even try on any of the assignments. If we aren't going to try, they why do we do it? Edginuity is a waste of time. 

So, in conclusion, Edginuity is awful. It is a complete waste of time and we should get rid of this torture device for students.
