A new semester means new classes and new schedules for the students at Spanish Fork High School, but this semester they’re adding a new dimension; SFHS is adding a two-a-week period called intervention. This period will be about 30 minutes long and allow students to study, do homework or do make-up in a class. Some teachers are even allowing students to participate in class activities such as painting, drawing, or sports. Each day intervention is held, students will receive a small paper showing their grades; if they have an F or other letter indicator, they are required to use their intervention time fixing that grade. This intervention has been brought about to help students to learn more and to have more time for homework when there just isn’t enough time at home due to work, sports, or other time consuming activities. Students are excited for this in hopes of getting better grades through better understanding of the material or having more leisure time during school and leaves them questioning, “Why didn’t they do this sooner?”
