Education . Longer Classes Add More Pressure And Stress What do you have when you have a longer school year, shorter lunch periods, and longer school days? Very unhappy students! Governor Richard Riley's South Carolina Education Improvement Act of 1984 brought changes to students throughout South Carolina. The Education Package required students miss no more than ten days out of the one-hundred and eighty day year. Because of the need for six instructional hours each day, lunches were shortened by twenty minutes. When asked about the package as a whole, students had generally the same feelings of dislike. I don't think it'll help, states Jane Weiger. If a kid isn't willing to learn, then the five extra minutes won't help. l don't like it, replies Suneer Patel. It's a good idea, but the way it's been implemented really hampers its purpose. Only time will tell if students can willingly adjust to changes brought about by the Education Improvement Act.

Rory Osborne claimed, I have been prepared well and I am now ready for any college I go to. He stated that he had done things right the first time and that now was the time to go on. Many Mauldin students began their senior year thinking they would like to repeat one of their grades so they could go back and change things. Geoff Glibbery felt that his freshman year needed a little work. I never realized what was required for freshmen, Geoff reflected. The need for studying increased from eight to ninth grade. I had not expected so much so I slacked off and it hurt me. Geoff advised freshmen to work hard because it does pay off. Other students also felt their grades needed a little redoing so they too wanted to reach into the past and change that D or F to an A. Erik Busby -'ti ' v I Christopher Alan Campbell: .l.V.
