Muslims all over the world regardless of nationality, ethnicity, race or color participate in fasting for the entire month of Ramadan (Travel). Ramadan is the monthly fasting from sunrise to sunset for all Muslims all around the world and the month changes every year because it’s based on the lunar calendar. Ramadan has been happening during the summer since 2011 but in 2016 Ramadan began during the end of the school year, and that means that Muslim students have to take final exams while they’re fasting and while they’re fasting they get tired, thirsty, hungry, and get headaches really easily which would cause lower grade scores. The question is should public schools make final exams earlier for Muslim students because of Ramadan?
The consequences could mean not only lower grades for the individuals but also poorer performance for their school in league tables. Schools should consider how best to support staff and students during this time (Ramadan during Exam). Without eating a good

In fact, Ramadan will fall during the summer exam period in 2017, 2018 and 2019 too, and exam boards, as they did this year, will take this into account (Why Shouldn't Exams). The advice that we received from Muslim clerics indicates that there can be some relaxation on fasting, people can make up the fasting time at a later date outside from Ramadan (Espinoza). Even if the students are allowed to be exempt from fasting I don't think they would want to because that means they would have to fast the amount of days they missed after Ramadan and people just want to get fasting over with when Ramadan's done and as a Muslim they believe they get less good deeds from
These students spend a lot of time working during the summer. These high school kids need the summer break to make money. Some families that do not have enough money might need these students to help around the house, doing chores and taking care of their brother and sister and other things. If we make school all year round these students will not be able to help their families during the summer months.

This could result in terrible grades. Also, this would interfere with extra-curricular actives, such as sports. With less time to do homework, students might not be able to do sports, and would become unhealthy. Students can get bullied for their weight or size. Others might not think they are comely. Also, with less time to do work, students can get terrible grades. The consequences of long lunches are unacceptable. We cannot do
Can you imagine having a job for nine months out of the year that makes you work from 8:15 AM until 3:30 PM on every weekday and not getting paid for all of your hard, tedious work? To most of you that sounds ridiculous. That’s because it is. Students have to go through this painful process from September to May and usually don’t have anything to show for it. They dedicate their whole lives to getting all A’s on their report card and when they finally do all they usually get is a pat on the back. Thus, students should get paid for having good grades because it takes lots of hard work to get those grades, it would cause more students to strive for good grades, and it would eliminate the need for a job, which would allow for more studying time.
On campus, this problem does result in leaving students hungry. They are seen scarfing down their food after arriving 10 minutes late to class, because the cafeteria was going to close for the rest of the day. Student's stomachs are heard growling, which disturbs the class when in full concentration. Hungry students then do not pay attention in class and causes a domino affect in others stomachs growling, leaving and going between classes, and other disturbances.
All the students rush out the door as the school bell rings, taking out their extravagant and expensive phones. Everyone leaves, and just by the sight of the empty hallway, there are calculators, textbooks and more electronics that are worth a great amount of money. Students are not responsible for their belongings. In fact, they are not responsible at all, losing them, leaving them in the hallways and change rooms unattended, dropping them. They will never entirely understand the value and responsibility that is put forth for them to have that phone. However, they would understand if the phone was bought with their own money. This leads to why students should be paid for having good grades in school. Students should be paid for good grades due to these three reasons: it encourages students to work harder, it will help expand and grow the economy and finally, they will understand the importance of responsibility.
Ramadam is celebrated as a fasting. The duration of Ramadam is one month. During this fasting Muslims are not to eat, drink, smoke or have conjugal relationships while the sun is up. However, between sunset & sunrise they are aloud to break the fast with at first a light meal of dates and water called the “Iftar.” Then they have evening prayers. The rest of the night is devoted to special prayers and to readings from the Koran. A more heavier meal is eaten at predawn which is known as the “Suhoor.” There are exceptions to the fasting: children, elders (over 60), those who are ill and those who are making a long journey. But those who are ill or making a long journey are expected to make up missed days along with those who have broken the fast.
Having trouble paying for college ? Well you can apply for many scholarships as possible, seek federal financial aid, and utilize private student loans to cover the cost of attendance. In this passage it states ‘’apply for as many scholarships and grants as possible! The money you receive will go directly towards the cost of college, and you do not have to pay it back.’’ Which means it will minimize what you take out student loans and out of your pocket. This essay will illustrate how student can fund their college education.
College these days are extremely expensive. A lot of kids that make it out of high school don't have a choice to even think about going to college, and having a good education. Even if they do go to college, they will be really deep into debt for an extremely long time. It makes it to where a lot of people have low incomes because their only education is high school, and they are almost forced to get factory jobs, or lower end jobs that pay up to maybe fifteen dollars an hour, sometimes even that. In my opinion, I believe college should be paid for, and if not paid for, then the government should at least pay a lump sum of the college tuition to give people a life they want and to help the communities and the world.
A student currently on YRE named Megan said,“I believe that schools across America should not be open year-round. With schools open year-round, more pressure can be put upon a student. Summer vacation gives students time to relax and a stress-free break. Studies show school increases the chances of depression and anxiety in teens. Year-round school would increase these opportunities.
Kids need energy to do and feel their best in sports or other activities. Having no food leaves the students with no energy and students might fall asleep in class or just tune out the teacher for that class period because they feel drowsy.When students tune out or fall asleep they are missing out on learning and will be behind the other students in learning and class work. This causes students to get bad grades
School lunches affect the students school work and the grades, due to the unhealthy lunches at school. Without the students getting the right nutrition needed, they do not meet the academic expectations. The teachers expect the students to perform well in school especially through the year. “Without good food, students are just stressed out with school, and then still stressed about being encouraged to perform good as well” (Anderson). When students get the proper nutrition it can help them avoid bad behavior that would require getting detention, suspension or even expulsion(Anderson). School lunches could also affect the grades the students receive because they lack the nutrition they need. “Studies have shown that students grades went up when they are eating healthier”(Anderson). If schools had healthier lunches it would help raise their grades by 4% because with the food needed to have focus and energy to do
It should not be the accepted norm for students to just suffer through hunger as this is not how the body works. When the body is hungry, it means it is time to eat, and going against this instinct leads to unhealthy eating habits and malnutrition. An easy solution to this problem is allowing students to eat in school by implementing occasional
