We dream because we are organizing and making sense of memories. Try to keep yourself half asleep with your eyes closed. We dream because our brain is still working.

Why Do We Need To Go To School? By: James.

There are many reason why we need to go to school. Here are some of them:

1. Kids need to go to school because of house construction, gas problems, or power outages.

2. Kids need to go to school because if they want a job when they grow up. They’ll need to learn.

3. Kids need to go to school because of all the times they just play video games and just talk about video games so they can learn everything is not about video games.

4. Kids need to go to school because of their behaviour and they need to learn about treating people the way you want to be treated.

That’s 4 of them. There are still tons of reasons why out there. But, if you don’t like school, here’s some reasons why you might not like school.

1. You keep getting bullied by a bully everyday every recess (or not every day and every recess) and the bully keeps you from getting to the teacher.

2. A kid you don’t like keeps following you around a lot and you keep telling him to stop but he won’t and you try telling the teacher but he begs and pleads to tell you not to tell the teacher.

3. All the work you have to do when you get to a higher grade and so much homework that you really want time to play with your brothers and friends.

4. You just might not get used to your teacher when you’re doing your work.

5. The lack of sleep you will need for a school day. Trust me. I have to sleep at 9:30pm every night. If you don’t get enough sleep, you have a 75% chance of being grumpy and sleepy for the day.

6. When your being a big bully to someone most of the time. You get told on when you bully and get in lots of trouble you want to leave school forever.

That’s all 6 reason why you might not like school.

The main reason the schools were built was for kids to come learn and have fun. Of course. Kids don’t want to go outside on cold days. They rather stay inside than stay out in the cold.

Keep calm and get lots of sleep!
