Rush minutes: 5 minute passing periods can feel rushed
Students rush to class.
September 27, 2018
The bell rings and as you walk out of your class, you see the hallways filling up with other students rushing to their next class. Have you ever been pushed up against a wall in a crowded hallway to where you have to rush to your class? Well kids at Dobie Junior High have something to say about it.
Danielle Guest, 8th grader, said she has enough time to to meet up with her friends. She said she would like more time, but likes the five minute passing period. “I feel like I can take my time between each class without feeling super rushed,” she said.“Gives us enough time between each Class, the time is pretty reasonable.”
Passing period can be stressful to many kids in school especially if you feel like your rushed, but the more and more you get used to it the easier it gets. The hallways cram everyone together to where people start shoving and yelling, and to where you don’t get your classes on time.
A longer passing period would help students who have a harder time getting to lockers and opening them less stress time. Katherine Pruden, 8th grader, says,”A minute or two longer for passing period would help.”

That’s pretty noice. I like it, especially my name, lol.
I totally agree with this … for example in the mornings i go by my athletics locker which leaves me about 5 mins to go to my main locker to drop all of my belongings off then RUN all the way down stairs to Mrs.Pj.
1.) The question I’m wondering is why is it so stressful for some students? Is it just the time and halls or anything more?
2.) I think the topic is something everyone in the school deals with. It’s very difficult for someone with social anxiety like me.
3.) I think there could be more reports based off of how teachers see passing periods.
Good job,i really like this article it was fun to read and i agree that passing periods should be a little longer.
Yall did a great job with the pictures , and facts !
Why do we only get 5 minutes for passing period. I do feel rushed when I have to go to a class that is one the other side of the school. I think that this article should be a little longer.
I agree. There is sometimes just barely enough time to get to one of my classes, and sometimes I’m at my class super early, but I’m okay with the time that we have.
This artical is so true i get really stressed in the hall ways and by doing this the kids might actually start to be orginized in the hall ways.
I think that this article is very true, and there should also be at least more time for passing period. I like how you also put in the students opinions about how they felt about the passing periods
That is great article and glad you guys are awesome. I always rush to my class. A lot. The article is true and their are a lot students who push or run in the hallway just to get in class.
During passing period its a hectic time people are running, pushing others, dropping supplies and just being rude to the people around them. I really like this articles shinning a light on this topic.
I agree. We need about two more minutes in between passing periods, especially before lunch.
The students from the Upstairs C wing are rushing to both stairways to get to class. More students now have class in D-Wing or Portables for their next class. They even need to get to their lockers to get supplies! We should have about 7 minutes to get to class so everyone can take their time and not be rushed.
I think that we should have one or two more minutes for passing periods so we don’t feel like were getting rushed
I agree, five minutes isn’t enough time to get from one class to another. Especially, if you have a class in D-Wing.
I can completely relate to this article. I do feel rushed sometimes when going from one class to another. I feel like this article describes the problem really well, and the picture is really an accurate description of our hallways. Good job!
i completely agree im late to class sometimes because some kids stand around and block the walk way.
i highly agree with this. My locker is broken so it takes a little longer to get it open and the extra minute or two would help.
i like this article because it is very true since there are sooo many kids in the hallway and the hallways can get really crowded.
I agree 100% and it is nice to know other students feel the same way. Reading other students opinions and reading all the great information provided it is nice to know others have the same opinion I do.
I very much agree with this topic. I too feel that we should have longer passing periods. I enjoy your article.
I wish that we had a little more time for passing periods because for all my classes i have to rush to get to each one or else I’ll be late. I really like this article cause it lets me know I’m not the only one!
I also like the five minute passing period but I feel like it could have a little more detail to it to bring it together. The ending could be better but, overall, I like it. The picture is cool too. It looks professional.
it is a great articale and i like how it is worded
I disagree, but I can see where you are coming from. At the old school I attended, passing periods were 2 minutes long. It was stressful getting to classes in time. When I moved here I found the 5 minute passing period to be a god send.
in my opinion this is a topic i can relate to , the halls can get very crowded and some people walk a tad slow so i get over whelmed getting to my class on time
I agree greatly with this article and it’s satisfying to see other students have the views on the matter as I do. Great job with the information you provided us on the matter.
I definitely agree with only having five minutes to go to your classroom because it takes a lot longer if you include all the people trying to get to their classroom too.
thanks for all your opinions, i agree and disagree because at my old school it was 2 min. and we had to stay in line or else you will get lunch detention.but a lot of my classes are far away.
