Have you ever felt stressed out getting to your next class? Less than 5 years ago they had 5 minutes to get to their next class, now they only have 3 minutes. I got to interview a 7th grader on how they feel about the change and if they are stressed out about getting to classes.

Q: How do you feel about getting to class under 3 minutes?

A: If I have to go all the way across the school then it is very difficult and stressful.

Q: What do you think about 5 years ago they had 5 minutes to get to their class?   

A: That I wish we still had that amount of time.

Now we know that people wished that we had 5 minutes to get to class and that it is stressful.
