Free Periods are great after a difficult test, boring period, or if the sun is shinning outside yet you are stuck inside. Being able to have an hour to yourself, gives people the oppertunity to relax whether it is by themselves or with friends. Nothing is better then leaving the High School in the middle of the day with your best buds and taking everything off your mind.
It is important for every student to take a break from the work they are given through out the day and relax their brains. I believe free periods help students relieve the stress they may have built up in one period and help them re-focus in the next. Whether students are relaxing in the library, "senior lounge", or in their guidance counselors room, they are only helping themsleves and it is all during a free period.
