Middle school recently had a chance to go to watch an Erie Sea Wolves baseball game and came back at the end of the day. Many teachers and students claim that they got this privilege because of the Coronavirus, that not only effected the middle school students, but the high school students as well. A lot of teacher believe that because the middle school students were most effected by the virus, they deserve to have a break once in a while. While it is good to have breaks, what about high school students? How come they were excluded from the field trips?

High school students were cheated out of things that middle school gets to have now. For example, sixth graders get to have recess. There are instances that high school students get to have a field trip for their class, but those are for educational purposes. Very rarely does high school get to have a break and a day to themselves without having work to worry about. High school students have a longer range of harder classes and a lot more stress on their shoulders because of sports, jobs, and colleges to look at.

High schools should be able to have a day to relax and not worry about homework or open-ended assignments. Middle school students get to have that privilege, why can’t high school students? Giving high school students a day that they deserve lets them feel refreshed and able to continue with their studies after coming back. High school students work hard all year and get a smaller amount of break days than middle school students.
