should students get mental health days off from school

pros

enhances academic performance

by allowing students to have mental health days, this will allow students to continue managing stress in healthy ways and still having a optimistic outlook.

taking a day off for mental health can help students learn how to manage stress and prevent burnout. continuous pressure to perform can lead to anxiety and exhaustion.

encouraging mental health days also promotes awareness and normalizes discussions around mental health issues. when schools recognize the importance on mental well being, it sends a message that it is acceptable to prioritize mental health.

promoting awreness and normaliation

reduces stress and burnout

cons

having a regular and consistent attendance in school helps establish a structured environment that is beneficial for learning and personal development. frequent absences, even for mental health reasons can lead to a lack of stability making it harder for students to maintain their focus and motivation in both person and academic aspects of their lives.

disruption of routine

stigmatization and misuse

some students may misuse these days using them for trivial reason rather than genuine mental health concerns. some students may also face backlash from teachers, friends, or family for prioritizing their mental health if they don't agree or think the same.
