August 31: Entry 3.

I'm against it because students get tired of the homework and getting up early. This idea of adding another year of high school is ridiculous. I love school and I have a hard time getting through everyday, so adding another year? I would get fed up with it, and I'm sure other kids would as well. What are we expecting? Students are spend 12 years in school? Why add another to make it 13? Thirteen is an unlucky number anyway, so why take the chance? Imagine if someone had straight A's all through school and then got to their 13th year and flunked? Not only would you have to add another year, you would have to add more classes and that means you have to hire more teachers or make room in your budgets. In the world right now, school's can't do that. They can't afford to add anything else. Some teachers would probably go crazy, they have a hard time coping with the work they have to grade as well as the students. Some students are hard to put up with and making them have to be with those kids for another year? What would we call it anyway? We have freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior already. What would the fifth year of high school be called? Who knows? I'm sure it'll be brought up and eventually be shot down. Honestly, like I said earlier. We can't afford it as a nation.
