First, those that would benefit the most from having a 40-minute study hall daily would be students that have jobs after school. Therefore, a student who works far away from home may not have enough time to do their homework once they get home. Similarly, students who have to work unexpected overtime might get home too late. In addition, some students don’t have computers at home and have to go to the library to do their homework. The problem with that is that by the time they get off work, the library is usually closed. With respect to the opposition’s idea that students don’t have to work, some do in order to pay for their gas and car insurance.
In the second place, many students that have sporting events after school would considerably benefit from having a study hall. For instance, some games are far away and by the time they get home it is too late to do homework. Likewise, if a game went into overtime they would get home even later. More specifically, by the time they got home they might be too exhausted to complete their homework. Some might argue that students don’t have to play sports, but in order to get scholarships, some students have to play sports.
Furthermore, IVC should make a daily study hall for students that don’t understand their homework. Since some students have to have their parents help them understand difficult homework, what would they do if their parents weren’t home? In fact, many students aren’t motivated to do their homework after school, because of things like video games and computers. In spite of not being motivated, if it wasn’t their favorite subject, then it would be even more difficult for them to concentrate and complete their homework. While those who disagree may argue that they should have asked their teachers for help after school, some don’t have the time to.
In conclusion, IVC should make first hour a 40-minute study hall daily, simply for students that have jobs after school, sporting events, or students that may not understand their homework. As a result of the study hall, not only could students go to second hour feeling refreshed, but also prepared to learn without having to stress out about not finishing their homework.

Can study hall prevent students from procrastinating?
