Think about it this way: at school it is predetermined that there is a schedule, such as class times, lunch, and end of day. But within those parameters there is almost total free will as it relates to each individual. Our own lives are the only thing we should worry about - everything else gradually works itself out.

Major cause of stress: homework\nSolution: No more homework

They have to deal with kids every day, which is stressful in itself.  They don't get paid that much, and their job is very important.  It doesn't make it any easier when their students act up.  I had some mean teachers when I was a kid, but I understand why some are like that now.  Of course, some people are just mean in general and shouldn't even be teaching!

No...tomorrow will be a very stressful day for me. I have to teach kindergarten all morning (while be evaluated) THEN I get to go to classes for 3  hours and give 2 presentations. Lucky me!!! Pray for me lol. \n\nAt least when it is over, I will have somewhat of a break.

The public schools in my city need smaller classes, the teachers are worn out with all these children in one class and trying to teach and quiet half of them do in order to teach,therefore lots of time gets wasted and only 1/2 the lesson planned for that day gets taught.  Also they need books, the teens in highschool barely have homework because they can't take the books home.....I'll just leave it at there

For one thing, I imagine that schools are worried that their students will tred into dangerous territory.  There have been numerous instances of children going into chat rooms and later ending up in a dangerous situation, usually by meeting someone they met in a chat room face-to-face.  So, to prevent such things from happening, schools block access to chat rooms from their computers.\n\nI also agree with the answer previously given:  class time is not play time.

Teenagers who work jobs while attending school sometimes find it harder to keep up with schoolwork.  Insufficient sleep becomes a problem.  Balancing school and work takes a lot of energy away from other activities.

Most people need about 6 hours of sleep each day.  Some require more.\nWithout this, they begin to have first mental and emotional problems and then physical problems including narcolepsy.\nWhat happens to the body?  Cellular Revolt.\nOnly the human mind separates the mind from the body.\nThe single most important change in American students over the past generation which has lead to a decrease in actual learning is that many of the students today believe that they need less sleep than they really do need.\nBush would have done the country more good if he declared a mandatory Milk and Cookies time followed by naps for American students.

I don't think so! I think that it is harder for kids to go back to school and remember what they were doing after such a long break (I remember struggling to hold a pen again when I was little after a long break!) I think it also encourages teenage crime as people get bored and have nothing to do.

they severely limit a teens ability to socialize and blow off steam after high school and without that downtime then stress builds tension rises fights break out more often kids get more rebellious drugs rise(used to calm down that and at my school too many kids do pot,crack, whatever)\n\nits just not a good idea unless the curfew is for say a really late time like "no hanging out at friends houses or parties after midnight or 1 am" not 10 :00\n\nits just unreasonable what with studying and homework or stupid projects

Kids are hungry when they get home from school because most kids eat lunch early, and the older ones dont even get a snack in the afternoon.  They also have been couped up and using brain power all day.  I think all kids are hungry when they get home from school.

Children do not respect rules and often teachers allow children to get away with things to make their lives easier.\n\nI work in a school and a lot of teachers threaten children with detentions, but never carry them out because they'd have to give up time at lunchtime or after school.

Most of the students from high school are lack of self-confidence,they are afraid of being away from their parents as well as new places and new faces they are going to encounter as well as the challenges of the courses that preparatory for their professions someday!More thesis, homeworks,projects and alot of school works in which they have fatigue during high school!But the most challenging that they don't know is it is very enjoyable being in college as we they will learn how to become independent and makes many decisions for themselves away from home!

yes.  some people have special dietary needs, like diabetics who need to eat at scheduled times.  also, hunger can be distracting, causing students to be less able to focus on their studies.  lunch at school shouldn't be required but it certainly should be available.  for some students from low income families their school lunch is the only meal they get all day. i also think breakfast should be available, but that wasn't really your question.

Middle school is challenging in so many ways.  \nOf course, academically, there is more required and expected of middle school students than what was required in the earlier grades. Students can deal with more complex thinking at this age in math, philosophy, science, and the languages.\nThere is more preparation and time required at home for homework assignments, and longer term assignments, too, so students have to begin to be able to explore time management to be successful.  Organization will become more of a priority at the middle school level.  There is also the sense of preparing oneself for high school level, where the grades count and everything is viewed with an eye to the future.\nBut the larger challenge is social  - some people have a difficult time feeling like they fit in, since peer groups are so important at this age.  Add to this the physical development of puberty's arrival, with its attendent hormonal moodiness and internal voice constantly questioning "am I normal?" ,  "who am I?", "what is important to me?", and you've got some major issues to handle.  \nIt's a time of growing up, shifting of priorities, being able to handle more complex topics, and finding oneself.\nSo I would say it is challenging, but also exhilarating time that will make a lifelong impression.
