Associated Passage:
Dear Editor: In my opinion, the school day should be shorter. Some
people say that students should spend more time in class in order to
learn more each day. However, those people underestimate the
educational value of after-school activities. Like me, many students
have activities after school that are an important part of their
education. They need time for these activities and their homework.
Therefore, students should spend fewer hours in class.
