Monotony causes boredom... She sunk farther downinher seat. Whois she? An average sophomore struggling to stay awake in study hall. She had just come from second hour and the lecture the class received was the in- spiration for a quick cat nap. Study halls were a part of school most sopho- mores had to face. For people without homework they were useless, time consuming, and incred- ibly boring. While the clock’s hands slowly rotated, she thought of her next class and it’s elementary movies supposedly created for high school stu- dents. In many courses films helped pupils obtain a better understanding of the subject. But there was an abundance of movies that insulted their viewers with a kindergarten- style. After lunch, her class held a discussion about required subjects. “Required courses shouldbe abolished. A student won’t learn if he’s not interested.” Some agreed with her, but others argued that they worked better under pressure. The period ended and a final question came up, “Why are some students bored in school, and some not?” The teacher answered as best as he could. “School is only interesting to interesting people. The value of an education should not be dic- tated to a student—it is up to the individual to accept and experience the gift he aquires.” As the class was dismissed, she heard a friend comment, “There’s nothing more boring than a lecture on education.” RIGHT: A student relieves the mono- tony of school by doodeling.
