Athletes should receive a study hall during their wellness period and a wellness credit for their in season sport. The students would still be required to take health, so they would only get a study hall two trimesters out of the three. My group and I believe this is important because athletes often have late games or practices causing them to stay up later in order to finish their homework. Everyone needs a certain amount of sleep to function and when the students stay up too late, it causes them to perform poorly in their academics and sports. A study hall period would be beneficial because the athletes would have time to meet with teachers, raise their grades, finish homework, and allow them to catch up on any missed assignments. Many sports are time consuming and the students don't get the time they need with teachers before their games or practices, The study hall period would substitute for the wellness class and athletes would receive their full wellness credit required to graduate.
