Keep the same school schedule for next semester!
The Issue
Recently students from Segerstrom High School were informed that their schedule was going to be modified for next semester. This new schedule is drastically different from the schedule the students have been accustomed to for the past few months. The schedule has been changed from the first period staring at 9:00am and they plan to start next semester at 8:15am for our first period. Each period has been changed to 80 minutes long when currently they are 50 minutes long. It was not taken into consideration that majority of students are struggling everyday with online school, along with issues with their personal well-being the students also face multiple issues everyday regarding school such as; internet issues, technological device issues, etc. We believe that modifying the schedule to such an extent will take a serious toll on many, if not all, students. A student’s day will consist of sitting at the computer for approximately 8 hours, including the time they spend doing homework and finishing assignments, this will immensely deteriorate a students well being and can have long term effects such as, migraines, eye strain, difficulty focusing on long distance objects and so on. Student’s mental health has gone off the roof and changing the schedule would just add on to it as-well to stress. Students motivation levels have gone really down and many haven’t been doing as good as before, with our grades. So with all this said the same schedule would be better to keep for the upcoming second semester. Thank you for understanding. Please take this into consideration.
