New schedule for the 2016-17 school year

The school board for the Cedar Rapids district held a meeting to discuss the new changes that would be made for the new year.

They came to a conclusion that the schools will be adding 35 minutes to their regular school day. Also, we will be having 7 periods in the day instead of 6 and have no academic zero hour. Along with this change, teachers could be possibly losing there jobs due to budget cuts. 

For the next years seniors, it sucks because all of our goals was to start early so we could leave early or vise versa since most of us won't be having a full schedule. But now, they are no longer letting students have academic zero hour.

I don't understand the reasoning for this change, I think the way things are now are working just fine.

Yes, it will be fine for the incoming freshmen, but i think it is just going to stress out the upperclassmen more than it already has. Junior and Senior years are the most important years of your high school career and we shouldn't be making as many changes as there have been.

In my opinion, I feel as though if we could eliminate all the chaotic changes and stick with the same things for more than 2 years it would also decrease the amount of stress for everyone.
