Study Hall has moved from Cafeterias to classrooms in a way of boosting grades. Rules have been placed that make it more like a detention room than a study hall.
Is this the right thing to do? Does it take away the fun of study hall or, does it give you something better back like less work to do at home? Many students have problems with this.
Is it fair that one of your strictest classes is one that you don’t get graded in? Many wonder what caused this change the old system seemed like it was working well.
“It’s totally unfair to do especially, when you have no work to do. Sitting there for 40 minutes is horrible.” Tom Ciocio states.
Kids wonder how come we can’t listen to iPods and not even whisper to friends. Kenny Edwards argues that the new study hall isn’t helping “Not only was the cafeteria better it gave us a choice on what we wanted to do I personally work better at home than in a classrooms.”
Although Study Hall has study in the title not many kids study in it. It’s more of an extra lunch where occasionally a book gets opened. “Many students have a hard time focusing in the loud cafeteria in big groups”. Says Alyssa Brener.
