I don’t see the point about the new Illinois law about the moment the moment of silence. I’ve been told that it’s for students who want to make a wish for something to happen that day. Just for fun, I wished for something the first day the law was passed, and it made things worse. Also, the time students have to make a wish is very short. Friday, someone timed the moment of silence the class had to make a wish and it was only six seconds long.
I think that a law should be passed for teachers to give out only one paper worth of homework per night if there is homework that night. Because unlike the moment of silence, reduction of homework would actually help with something. For example it would give more time for students for sports and for teachers because they wouldn’t have to grade papers.
