Why we should have free periods in middle school.

Author's note: My goal in this writing piece is to have good idea developement and content. Also I want my voice to be heard by starting my paragraphs with a good beginning sentence, and organization.


During the day I get so tired doing all this work. I'm always thinking how the high schoolers are lucky to have a free period. Where they can go home and relax while you do your homework and projects, and not have to sit in the stiff chairs we have to always sit in. I mean sitting in the academy couches in the front is nice. But not every classroom has comfy couches in them so they probably want to have a free period also.


My first reason that we should have a free period, is that everyone needs a longer break than just 30 minutes a day during lunch. Plus since we don't have recess anymore, so we don't really have any time besides lunch to take our mind off of the excruciating work that we have to do in Academy 21.


In addition to that. What if someone doesn't have wifi at their house? They would late homework practically everyday. But guess what will happen if we have a free period? Kabamoo! Half of the late homework disappears because most of the students have time to do all of their homework!


Also, we should have a free period for kids just to relax. What if a kid is having a really stressful day at school. Well, when his free period comes he can just sit down and relax, walk to the library or even grab a bite to eat at the chocolate factory. And by the time he gets back to school for his next free period he is back to normal and has no stress at all!


Finally, we should have a free period so some of us can sleep in. The free period would help us early in morning because then we could sleep in and get enough sleep so we son't fall asleep during class and actually remember what we are getting taught to us, or in people in Academy 21's case what we are teaching ourselves. Also this would help because the buses always come early so we miss the bus but now we could catch the younger kids bus and not be late for class.
