Dear Editor:
I am a 12-year-old student from John Black Public School and I’m going to share with you what I think schools need more of.
One idea is more time outside because being outside reduces stress and anxiety. Another thing is having a longer weekend. Even if we have a three-day weekend it improves our mental health and wellbeing, and it also gives us enough time to rest and recharge.
My last idea is less homework. I think we need less homework because it encourages creativity when students get less homework. Also, when students get more free time they get to explore new hobbies and develop new skills.
I hope you like my ideas.
Zoe Fox,
