[Image description: An infographic. There is a picture of a billboard which reads, "What are your kids really learning in school?" The text is arranged next to a cartoon woman with purple hair and a face mask, standing in front of the Daniel Quasar's Pride flag. The rest of the text in the infographic has been edited over as a series of bullet points. Full text is below.]
the world is DIFFERENT now. Our educational standards, like it or not, need to evolve with the kids. They can’t do nothing, but we ALSO shouldn’t be working them past their limits. Give them a break.
they should have recess for high schoolers too like come on let those teenagers blow off some of that teenage angst by going on the swings or something
I would prefer never to work. School isn't always all that fun either, but I'd prefer to spend the rest of my life on and off in high school (or even just in school). At least at school I can read and learn. Besides, to quote the old adage: better the devil you know than the devil you don't. (Or something like that).
A person can study anywhere between 15 seconds and 18 hours. However, even though it's possible to study for such long periods of time, it doesn't mean you should.
Studying for such long intervals can be harmful to your body, brain, and eyesight. So, if you still want to study long and hard for more than two or three hours, this is my advice.
1.) Get a good night's sleep.
If you don't get enough sleep in the time before studying, you won't retain much information and it will be harder for you to focus and answer rationally.
2.) Have chewing gum and/or something that smells good.
Chewing gum while you study is a great idea. It improves focus and can even help with study anxiety. It eases your nerves and just all-around makes things easy. As for a good smell: pleasant scents are scientifically proven to be good for your memory. So, if you want to get a great grade, have some essential oils, a candle, or something else that smells good nearby!
3.) Eat.
If you're going to study for long periods of time, make sure to eat when you're hungry. Hunger significantly damages focus and precision in mental prowess. So, make sure you're fed!
3.) Stay hydrated!
Stay hydrated for the very same reasons. Being dehydrated is bad for every part of you, so keep some water nearby!
4.) Have on study music!
Have on a more low-key genre of music for study time if it helps you focus. This isn't for everybody, but it does help me, so maybe you guys will like it too. You have hundreds of study playlist options to choose from on Spotify if you're interested.
5.) Take breaks!
To maintain a healthy mindset, good focus, and all-around the best conditions for studying, take a 5 to 15 minute break every hour to an hour and a half to move around and stretch your muscles, essentially waking up your body and brain so you can keep studying with steady proficiency.
I just started reading the pta mom au.. 2 minutes ago. I'm American. What is "middle school" for you? It says Connor is in 4th grade, then right after says middle school?? Where I'm from middle school is 6th (sometimes 5th depending on district size) to 8th grade..
