Procrastination

As with many people procrastination can get the best of us. Many people when given homework tell them self’s that they are going to get it done, but when? The most common response would be later.

I am a very bad procrastinator and I don’t know why. I know that I need to get my homework done when ever I get the chance but I don’t. I just think to myself that I can just do it later and it always seems to come back at me in a bad way.

Procrastination happens so much more today because there are so many things to get you distracted from your work. Things such as Facebook and YouTube are a big distraction today because you just get sucked into them. People much would much rather chat with their friends, watch funny videos, of play games than do homework a little bit ahead of time.

I seem to procrastinate because I just plainly hate doing homework. I hate doing homework so much I just seem to put it off until I figure out that I need to do it! That’s usually about 10:00 at night which makes me tired for school in the morning.

I think that schools should give us more time to do our work in class so that people don’t have to take the work home and distracted from their work by technology. Procrastination is a bad thing that most teens are doing today. It causes students to fail classes and get in trouble by parents or by coaches. I know I need to stop procrastinating because it is bad but I just don’t know how. There are just so many things to do that would seem more useful for my time. Hopefully one day I will drop my procrastination habit because it would make things a lot easier!

Year around schooling wouldn't be so bad

Many people don’t like the idea of year around schooling but if you think about it, it would actually be that bad.

If you told teens today that they would no longer be having their long summer, many of them would be upset. Teenagers are always so excited when summer comes because they no long have to go to school for a long period of time and you don’t have to worry about anything but having fun. Most students probably don’t actually know how year around schooling works and if they did perhaps they might prefer to have year around schooling.

Year around schooling wouldn’t be so bad for many different reasons. First is the schedule. The schedule for year around schooling goes like this. Students attend school for 45 days and then get three weeks (15 days) off. The normal breaks are still built into this calendar. With this in place school would seem shorter because you don’t have to go to school for very long until you get a nice sized break. School wouldn’t seem so boring and people might enjoy going to school more because it won’t seem to carry on so long.

Second is a reason that I have face. With the long summer break we have I end up forgetting a lot of the things I learned like math. With year around schooling you wouldn’t be having the problem of forgetting things because you would only be gone from school three weeks at a time.

I think that if we had year around schooling many students’ grades would improve. They wouldn’t feel so overwhelmed because of all the work, and they wouldn’t end up forgetting things they already learned. It could possibly even improve attendance because students wouldn’t get so bored of coming to school.

We shouldn't be giving homework!

First off there are probably one hundred reasons that I could think of for why we should not be given homework but I am just going to give a couple.

Many people would have to agree with me that teachers at MCHS give as too much homework. It seems like they will give us homework every single day for the whole school week and it’s not just from one teacher but from all of them.

Many students such as myself play sports and when we are given all this homework at once it is very hard to get it all done.  There just isn’t always enough time to get it all done and teachers get mad at us because we don’t always get it done. They say it’s our fault but truly it is their fault for packing on all this homework when they know we have sports.

Another reason why teachers shouldn’t give us homework is because we are already at school for 8 hours a day being taught by teachers so why would we need to do more at home after we already did all that.  I think that if we are doing work in school for 8 hours that that’s enough work and we shouldn’t have to do more.

The third thing that comes to mind is when students take home all their homework a lot of the time they don’t get some parts of it which really slows up the way things work. If teachers would just do all this stuff in class and didn’t give us homework we could learn it easier and wouldn’t get so frustrated with our self’s when we don’t understand something.

So to all the teachers out there, I really think that it would be really helpful for many students and would maybe even help by just doing more in class.

Things that bug me.

There are some things that bug me and I am sure I am not the only person. First off one thing that really bugs me is when people constantly make the same little noise over and over again. I don’t get why people think it is fun or why they would keep making the same noise over and over again because you think they would get bored of it after a while but no, they just keep on doing it.

                Another thing that really bugs be is when people think they are really funny but their actually not and they don’t realize it. Some people are just so obnoxious because they try and raise their voice so that the people around them that don’t want to listen to their conversation have to because they are so darn loud! I have noticed that people don’t really say anything to the person when they act like this because they feel it’s rude or they don’t want to be mean but sometimes I wish somebody would.

                When I walk through the halls at the high school and I see people making out it just annoys me. I don’t see why people need to make out in the hall because they have to know that nobody wants to see that! You go to school for a reason and that is to learn something and not to make out in the hallway. I don’t see why they can’t wait till they get home to kiss and do that stuff because it’s not really appropriate for the school setting. I wish teachers would do something about that because they tell us we cannot do that but yet they don’t do anything about it when they see it in the hallway. To all the people out there, please don’t make out in the hallway just wait till the end of school day.
