Why should students have longer breaks? - Claudia Fernández

Ever since we started school we’ve had breaks and those breaks have been really short. In my opinion, I believe they should be longer because studies show that longer breaks increase a kid’s productivity, creativity and social skills. Sometimes, especially younger kids, can’t concentrate for a very long time, so I think that we could also get short breaks so we can take a moment to stretch. In conclusion I think that we should have longer breaks to help our brain development.
