What do you think of the Wellness Days this year?
“I like the idea of them and the thought of giving kids and teachers a break and reminding people about wellness and mental health. I think that the timing of them with the breaks and term ending and stuff added more stress to kids with testing instead of relaxing. I think that they should be better explained on why we are having them because I didn’t know that it was a religious holiday until the week ahead came out.”
What do you think of the Wellness Days this year?
“I think it’s a good thing. The only thing they could change is to have a Wellness Day once a month, instead of having a ‘Wellness Week.'”
What do you think of the Wellness Days this year?
“I think that the Wellness Days are good, but it also depends on the teacher. Some of them don’t observe it as closely as others, and sometimes it can be even more stressful on the students.”
What do you think of the Wellness Days this year?
“I like the concept of Wellness Days, but I don’t like how it is executed. It would be better if it was at the start or the end of the week, instead of the middle.”
What do you think of the Wellness Days this year?
“I think they’re very helpful for my mental state, and I think that teachers not assigning homework frees up my time a lot.”
What do you think of the Wellness Days this year?
“I think that they would be better as half-days, because all the Wellness Days do is that they just push all of the tests to one day. It’s probably impossible, but I would try to make it so that the teachers don’t put the tests on the same day.”
What do you think of the Wellness Days this year?
“I enjoy the break in the schedule. However, I am concerned that students may have more work before and after Wellness Days the way they are now, but I will enjoy seeing the future implementations of Wellness Days.”
What do you think of the Wellness Days this year?
“I think that they are okay; it’s more stress-free, and there are not a lot of tests. I would rather have a day during the holidays rather than have a wellness day. But, for example, my friend has a lot of tests on Friday, so at the same time people get more stressed.”
What do you think of the Wellness Days this year?
“I like them, it makes school less stressful. One thing that I would change is that there were a lot of Wellness Days at the beginning of the school year, so I just think that they need to be spread out throughout the school year.”
