Should schools offer mental health days? Some students say yes because they can rest. Other kids say no. They worry that students will be negatively influenced by taking time off. Here are some students’ opinions.
Schools should give kids days off for mental health, because mental health is very important. In fact, it is just as important as physical health. Kids get stressed with long school days, and school can cause a lot of anxiety.
—Jack, 11
Kids should get mental health days off from school. Sometimes, we need to do something to relax. My school doesn’t allow music, but I love music and I have days when I need relaxing music to make me feel good about myself and the world.
— Mary, 8
The weekend was created to give us time off, but people don’t take advantage of those 48 hours. We children need to learn to better manage our time. We seldom get our schoolwork done in the five workdays, and schools would need students to make up mental health days. That may make students busier.

Schools should give kids days off for mental health. A lot of students have felt a difference in their mental health since the start of COVID-19. Many students have developed feelings of anxiety because of homework and schoolwork after they returned to school. Mental health days would help students relax.
— Sofia, 10
I don’t think schools should give students days off for their mental health. Having too many days off can influence grades. And many people’s parents have to go to work. If students get too many days off, they might get left home too much. This could make some people’s mental health problems worse.
