Block scheduling and study hall is important for all students in high school. When you reach high school, there are more classes, more work, more activities, etc. On top of that, kids are starting to get jobs, learn to drive cars and getting involved in their community. Some students even miss days of school due to being sick. Having a study hall helps many students alike to complete their schoolwork and makeup tests they miss. On top of that, having assignments spread out (because of block scheduling) help with time management, as assignments are typically due every other day. Taking these things away makes it even harder to manage high school. Not only is it taking time away from students, but having work from 7 classes everyday, and most likely having to finish it all in one night, would be very stressful. There would also be no time to makeup tests. On top of that, fitting 7 classes in one day + lunch and passing periods would be very difficult to expect and not give enough time to learn everything a class may require.
For example, I take part in the marching band at my school. Our rehearsals are from 3-7PM every Tuesday and Thursday, our school ending at 2:40PM. Sometimes we might have an additional rehearsal, it might be extended to 8PM, there's football games we perform at lasting until 9PM, and either competitions or band camps on Saturdays, taking away a day to finish up work on the weekend. Having a study hall has helped me complete my work and make up tests, and having a block schedule is beneficial to me so my work is spaced out, giving me more time to complete all of it. Without both, it'd be pretty much impossible to get work done on time with reasonable time to sleep. Without sleep, I won't be ready to learn for school. If my assignments are always late, I'd be getting bad grades. I'm not the only one with after-school activities - there are over 100 members in my marching band, and many other types of clubs take place at my school after the day is over. We all need our study hall time and block-scheduling to stay in order to manage some of the most fast-paced and stressful years of our lives while still getting our chance to do what we love.
Isabella supported: Preserve Personalization Periods and block scheduling in Broward schoolsI care because I’m human — and a mother. Lele, a 3-year-old boy, is being treated like an animal instead of a human. This ongoing dehumanization abuse must STOP NOW. His life, dignity, and future cannot wait. Speak up. Act. Protect him!
Roxy supported: Rescue the abused child in Yunnan, ChinaI need urgent assistance. I am currently in Yunnan and am either three or five years old. Although they claim to be my parents, I know they are not. I am being forced to crawl like a dog, eat and live with dogs, and am not permitted to wear clothing at any time of the year. They mock me by calling me a dog, but I am aware that I am a child. I am in desperate need of help. I am uncertain whether I can survive the coming winter.

Lisa supported: Hold Facebook and YouTube Accountable; End “TROLLING and BULLYING” against Donna Gowe.Testimonial for Miss Donna Gowe
It is with profound gratitude and respect that I acknowledge the extraordinary impact Miss Donna Gowe has had on my life and academic journey. As a law student who commenced my studies without the financial means to afford tuition, I was met with significant obstacles. Through her unwavering support and compassion, Miss Gowe played a pivotal role in helping me raise over two years' worth of tuition.
Her generosity extended far beyond financial assistance. As a single mother, I also benefited from the kind contributions of food, clothing, and monetary support provided by Miss Gowe and her network of benevolent donors. Their kindness sustained me and my son through some of the most challenging periods of my life.
Miss Donna Gowe embodies the true spirit of humanitarianism. Her dedication to the welfare of others has positively impacted not only my life, but also the lives of countless individuals who have been fortunate to benefit from her selfless service. She is a remarkable woman whose legacy of compassion and service continues to inspire

Valrie supported: Hold Facebook and YouTube Accountable; End “TROLLING and BULLYING” against Donna Gowe.A woman who has given of herself to help many undeserved individuals in her community......she was entrusted by many donors with money to build houses, pay college tuition and supply foods, furniture and other necessities to several who are in need.
She has gained popularity, favor and blessings because of her good deeds. Sadly, her success has created enmity and jealousy from those who cannot accept her progress.
The harassment and bullying of Donna Gowe must stop now!!!!
