Students think enrichment not necessary
October 7, 2019
Most students think that enrichment hour is not necessary on half days.
Enrichment hour is given to us once a month for half a day. Enrichment hour is an extra toward the end of the school half-day where students can go to a class they need to improve on and raise their grade, but if there’s no need for that, they’ll send you to the gymnasium where they’ll have you do an optional school activity there, like join the little games that they have. But most students don’t take advantage of this, and just leave school in all together. Over time, security has started to notice more students leaving during enrichment hour.
“I would recognize at least 50 students who would ditch enrichment hour, and only warn them, but I would see around 100 of them leaving the building,” said an anonymous security guard.
Others see this as a positive thing. For example, Mr. Doogan says he’s not in favor of getting rid of enrichment hour.
“But, I wish there were more options for students who are on track,” Mr. Doogan said.
One of the Team members in charge of enrichment hour are thinking of adding more activities and options for students attending enrichment hour.
After being asked the question of “What is planned for future enrichment hour?” Mr. Borgardt responded with “Breakout sessions, college information, and many more activities.”

-Genge I’m in between, because most people leave the enrichment hour since it is a tad bit boring and unnecessary especially with most of the main gym activities being the same every single month. But I think it’s great if you’re a little behind on classes and need extra time and help from teachers. I don’t agree with how it is a reward though, better things like out of dress days and raffles are a better alternative reward for those who are passing their classes. Everyone, passing or not should be able to able to take part in the activities done during enrichment hour. Especially since new things are being added like college information, what happens if someone is not passing and they’d like be part of the informational college events? It’s not really fair because all students should be given the option.

Frankfother I don’t think enrichment is necessary because many people leave so what’s the point of having it.

I think that enrichment is uneccessary because their are a lot of students leaving on half-a-days. Instead of doing enrichments they should just let us leave and the people that need to progress their grades should stay.

Great article, although i agree that sometimes the enrichment hour is unnecessary to some students, but it amazing how the school gives that hour to help students with their grades because it show they care for us and some students don’t take advantage.

I like how the direct quotes come from the schools staff and how they feel about the amount of people ditching enrichment. They should’ve used more information about why students who aren’t on track dont use the time to catch up.

Enrichment hour might not seem important to most but it helps, people who are failing their classes, or need retakes, to take advantage of that time and get their stuff done. For the people who don’t have to worry about that, because they are not failing should have the option to leave.

The news article has a great topic because it not necessary to have the enrichment. I would recommend to use more transitions, indirect quotes, and add some more information.

I think that your article could have used more quotes from students but I like the transitions you used.
Leslie Quinonez • Oct 9, 2019 at 10:27 am
I like how this article ended how it supposed to be ended. They should work on adding more quotes from different people.

Enrichment is not necessary, once in a while for an important event it should be implemented into schedule but not all the time. Change that shit

I dont think enrichment is necessary because students get other opportunities to get their grades up.

I think enrichment is unnecessary and should be optional because many students just want to leave and aren’t interested in the activities.

I think it is unnecessary because they already give the students in the school so many ways to get their grades up, like in the morning and during supervision. Thus adding another hour for the students will make them want to leave.

I think enrichment hour is unnecessary because not many students are able to stay for it because they might have some errands to do after school.

I think enrichment is unnecessary because we are given supervisory to catch up with our work. I feel like we could use enrichment time for or own self. I think students should be allowed to go home and chill or hangout with their friends.

i say enrichment period is really unnecessary for people that are passing their classes because they have good grades their passing their classes and showing up to school.

i think enrichment is unnecessary because a lot of people are sleeping during the assembly and a lot of people just walk out and i think they should get rid of enrichment hour.

I think enrichment is unnecessary because we are given the day to check up on work. Thats why people are failing some classes.

I think enrichment is a waste of time, Thats why a lot of students leave to prove that its not necessary
Kimberly Bautista • Oct 7, 2019 at 9:27 am
I think that it is really not necessary to have an enrichment hour because I know that a lot of people leave during that hour. They say that they don’t like it because its boring. They prefer either to stay in their 6th period class or to leave.

On Half a day for enrichment last hour i was heading to class and all i saw like twenty people walking out i was confused. Then i just went to my class and ignored it. I did not know what was going on, now i know what was happening. Well i agree with the other people that walk out, that we really should not have that last our.

I don’t think enrichment is necessary because some people don’t wanna do it and some people do. I think enrichment is necessary It don’t work for anybody

I say enrichment period is really unnecessary because there’s people that are Elagable to be in the main gym because they are passing all there classes but yet still ditch it. It’s just not 20 students it’s like 2/3 of the school leaving which shows is that enrichment is really unnecessary!!!!
