Study hall -- Emma Wellington

Homework Time

 Study Hall is a very important time for boarding students. It’s a time to study and do
homework, but sometimes a time to socialize or sleep. Study hall hours are from 8-10pm every
night, excluding Saturdays. Unless you get permission from a dorm parent to sleep you are not
allowed to go to sleep until after 10:00 check in. Wouldn't it be nice to have study hall earlier in
the day?


 Early study hall would also let a student relax about completing homework for the next
day. They wouldn't have to worry about how much homework they have to get done because
most or all of it would be done by study hall, leaving open later hours to complete more of it.


 If study hall was held right after school and
sports were delayed, students could be out
on campus until 10:00. This would allow
students the option of going back to their
dorm earlier to sleep. Students could also
socialize until check in time at 10:00.


 Another reason study hall would be a good
idea right after classes end is because the
lessons taught that are needed to complete
homework are fresher in students heads. If
homework is given at 9:10, students have to
remember about eleven hours until 8:00 at
night.

 An issue with study hall is that it is at the end of the day right before students have lights
out at 10:30 for underclassmen, 11:00 for upperclassmen. It takes brain power to do homework.
after homework, a students mind is still racing making it difficult to sleep.


 Study hall is too late at night to complete homework. Students are tired from a long day
of academics and athletic competitions or practices. If study hall was earlier in the day, students
would sleep better, students would have more free time, lessons in class would be remembered
better, and students could have more time to complete homework. If study hall was right after
classes, Huskies would be able to do a lot more and also get all of their homework done.
