Over the past year or two, I noticed a pattern of students complaining, not only about the long lessons but about how short the breaks are. These breaks are what prepare the student for the next lesson, which means that if these breaks are too short, the students aren't able to get ready for their next class in time. Also, the classes, deemed too long by the students, will lose their value if they are so long that the student no longer wants to participate. This petition is for minimizing class times by 5 minutes and increasing each break by 5 minutes.This would give longer breaks and shorter lessons, hence solving the above problem. Please sign this petition if you want this change to happen.

I have been hearing from so many of you about how exhausted you feel by the time the final period rolls around. Seeing these signatures grow proves that I am not the only one struggling to stay focused in these long sessions. I am currently compiling all your stories to present to the administration.

Seeing so many of you connect with this struggle reminds me that the burnout my friends feel is not just in our heads. This growth proves that the current schedule is failing us and that change is long overdue.

I think this is better way to enjoy our break-time because we get more time to take our books in the next lessons and eat food. And our break is also taken by some of the teachers so this would help the students.

If they don't agree at least increase the break duration on Friday 3 rd break because prayers is taking most of the time so were left with 10 mins to get ready for the next lesson and eat our lunch which is not convinient.

I would love to have shorter lessons because sometimes the lessons become boring because the teacher explains the lesson to many times. If the lessons were short it would be straight to the point.
