Saturday School: Pro Or Con
Some people think American students should attend school on Saturday. These people
think that the extra day would bring Americas education level closer to those of other countries.
However, I disagree. I think having school on Saturday would actually lower our education level.
The Saturday classes would diminish family time for students. The extra day of classes would cut
down on work days for students. Saturday classes would also mean one less day of rest for both
students and teachers alike.
Less time with a family could lower a students grade point average. For some students,
Saturday is the only time they can see family. This would be true for students whose parents
are divorced or who both work Monday through Friday. Not seeing family could lead to a bad
attitude or severe depression. Some students have close relationships with their parents and want
or need to spend time with their parents. A student with a bad attitude or severe depression
cannot learn well and perform well in class. Not being able to learn well will not bring an already
low education level up.
