Many of the students at my school are complaining about the way that the board members have voted on this calendar.They did not even pause to think about how this affects the students. Having a break every month or so is a great stress reliver and removes a lot of the pressure put on students these days. I believe that they should have voted for the August 1st calendar because this year has been one of the best years in terms of how much stress the students have to shoulder.

That is all I hear, and I'm kinda sick of it.

SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE! LOOK ON THE OTHER SIDE!

Sure, breaks can give students much needed rest, but what do they get in exchange? A mountain of quizzes and tests that pile up either just before the break or just after. I'm a student, and I loathe how the random breaks are kinda random. Plus, they suck at timing. When I'm off, I want to visit my cousins, but how can I if they don't have a February Break or September Break? It is just a waste of time. The stress before and after the break just piles up.

Let's not forget how some parents have to pay for two more weeks of daycare for young children.

This year has sucked for me. I'm so glad that the board member had some sense this time to vote for this new calender of NOT August 1st.

I bet you are wondering why I'm on this site if I don't want to petition for this.

My friend has always said, "It is great to know the other side in order to properly shoot 'em down!"

Sorry, Erica for banging you down....
