We're talking about high school students. I don't think most of them have the maturity to use a few seconds of silence. Then again, when everyone around is ostentatiously taking a few seconds of silence, it's hard to do anything but feel self-conscious about what you should be thinking about.
The intent is noble and all, but announcing that everyone will now reflect, and then watching a clock...I don't see that as effective in the least. Also, how will they enforce this? It seems to me that by virtue of the legislature making this mandatory, it creates an additional liability for the school without providing anything in return! Jam it back in, in the dark.

I remember feeling cheated by the government when I first started working. See, I wasn't given paid lunches. Do to some law or other, it was also mandatory for me to take a break of at least a half hour for lunch. The end result of this is that I had to stay at the office a half hour longer to still work 40 hours. 2.5 hours out of my day, that I really didn't want, because a legislature decided it knew best how to manage my time.
I lump this in with that. To a lesser degree, yeah, but I still resent the fact that lawmakers are parsing out my day. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
