Friday's have always had a reputation as the "best day of the week" or "the final day of the school week," but us Eastland High School Students feel as though we should cancel school every Friday, for the rest of the school year. Although we love Friday's, we are in the midst of a pandemic and it is unrealistic to expect us to attend school five days a week. This is putting our physical, as well as mental health at risk for problems. We would use Friday's to reminisce on the week, work on homework, study for tests, and spend time with their families. Giving Eastland student's Friday's off with not be a mistake.

honestly friday is useless at this point. just let us have it off.
Fridays off for a day off we have to be in masks full hours and the other schools have half and 3 to 4 days and were full and 5 days a week Fridays off
I feel the same way. Fridays are part of the weekend yet still a school day. Not only will we get to take a break of a long week of education, it will provide a bit more time to complete homework assignments. Some of us students are stressing about work and worried about not being caught up when they miss a day of school. This allows more time for us to work on that work. I feel like we should have a Friday to ourselves. Free Fridays!
I totally agree with Eastland students having Fridays off! Other schools get out early, others go maybe 2x a week while Eastland goes 5 days a week, full days and with masks on! They’re already under a lot of stress due to it’s all so different now for them.. Give them Friday’s off, they need it, they need those 3 days to recoup!! Amen...
Eastland already sucks enough as it is, so hopefully you can get Fridays off just like I convinced Mrs burkholder ice cream was a good alternative to milk... then EVERYone got ice cream, be a legend like me.
We need this

my head hurts from wearing this mask all week long. just let us stay home on fridays to catch up on sleep and actually finish the assignments. it makes no sense to be here 5 days a week rn.
