Would you agree with the school day being extended for/increased by 90 minutes? If so, why and if not, why not? (Please provide supportive statements for your reason(s).

If the school day were to be extended for 90 minutes how should those minutes be spent? Seriously… Think about it. What activities would you add minutes to and how many minutes would you add to each? What additional/new activities would you want added to the day and how much time do you believe should be spent on them? The total should be 90 minutes.

Please put thought into this. Please use proper grammar, punctuation, and correct spelling. I would like to share as many comments as possible so people across the Internet can see what you are thinking about this issue.

On September 11, 2001 I was working in the Computer Lab Room 212 when one of my colleagues knocked on the door and said that a plane had just hit one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center. As news came in throughout the day I would learn of the terrorist attack and the many people who perished in New York, Washington D.C. and a field in Pennsylvania. I remember being in sort of a daze because it was so unbelievable that this awful attack happened on U.S. soil.

You were very young on 9/11/01. What have you learned in school or at home about this event? Have members of your family or teachers talked about it with you? What have they said? What do you know about the events that occurred on September 11, 2001? Do you think it is important that we remember this day? Why or Why not?
