One reason we should not start school later is because of the lack of time students are left with after school. Coming home to a mountain of homework is a lot of pressure, especially when you must start it late in the afternoon. Justin O’neill from Scholastic Scope article, “Should schools start later?” agrees with this. He says, “Starting school later means dismissing school later. This can interfere with bus schedules, after school activities, and family time” (20). This demonstrates that the amount of time lost in the morning adds up, and it interferes with your personal life. But that is not…
Practice for school sports would be pushed back as well. So students would get home later. Also they’d start homework really late and probably finish at a really late time. They also might not be able to eat dinner. According to the text Up for Debate: Should School Start Later, “For one thing, repurposing bus routes to fit the schedule changes would be logistically complicated for school systems.…
Students stay up late working on homework, then are tired when they have to wake up. "Teens need at least 8.5 hours of sleep daily, and most teens don't get that". Stated the author Justin Oneil in the scope article Should School Start Later School starting later would allow more time to sleep, witch leads to better grades, and students that function quicker and would have less work later. Also not so many people would be late to school. I propose we start school just a little bit later. It would really help with our overall performance in schools.…
Schools should start later in the day because high schoolers would get close to the recommended amount of sleep, which will prevent them from sleeping in class and it will decrease the risk of students getting into dangerous situations. Most high schoolers need a good night sleep to perform well in school. People from the ages of 12-25…
Certainly it could be said that if school starts later, then it will end later; while this is a good point, it fails to account for the loss of sleep caused by early start times. The Scholastic Scope article explains “For one thing starting school late means dismissing school later, which leaves fewer daylight hours for after school activities like sports” (O’Neil 21). Although this is true, many students arrive at school later because they do not get enough sleep. While some might argue that starting school later means that districts will have to invest in busses and drivers, they forget that starting school later will help align school schedules with sleep schedules. For instance, the article explains “School bus schedules are arranged to meet the needs of not just one school but all schools in the district” (O’Neil 21). Even though there would need to be more buses to meet the needs for all schools, kids would be more alert in class. Some people may argue that starting school later brings the wrong message to kids. The Scholastic Scope article says “Being on time, managing a busy schedule, and getting enough sleep are important skills teens will need to know when they enter the workforce” (O’Neil 21). In contrast, starting school later would help kids stay physically and mentally healthy. Starting school later will help students academically succeed and stay mentally…
I think that starting the school day later would greatly benefit the students and teachers. if we started school at about say nine thirty in the morning instead of eight thirty or earlier, that would mean that most students wouldn't need to be awake in the morning till almost seven thirty to eight thirty and some kids could even wake up a little later then that depending on where they live. granite it is proven that high school students only need six to eight hours of sleep each night but there is always that few that never get the six to eight hours of sleep.…
Starting school later and ending much later will benefit students. Absolutely not, if they can't wake up early in the morning for school it probably it's because they are staying up all hours of the night. If they change it where we have to start school much later in the day we be getting out much later will take away the time that we we have after school programs, homework time, and then cutting our sleeping time. First of all, starting school later will make it where we have to stay in school later in the day.…
Did you know 75 percent of kids are not getting enough sleep because of school starting early? School should start later in the day so kids can get their sleep. There are many bad and good result for schools that open early or late in the morning such as, teens have a greater chance of having anxiety and illnesses. Teens need at least 8.5 hours of sleep, and test scores are better. There are a lot at risk for teens because of school opening early.…
This once happened to me, I was waiting to go to preschool at my grandma's but my aunt forgot to pick me up so my mom had to leave work to pick me up and take me to school. If we were to have later school starts then our parents would have to change their schedules for work and their activities after work. If we started school at noon then our parents would have to leave work to take us to school or make sure we got to school on time and that will take time out of their day. Not only that but if we were to start school later and you are a student that likes to do after school activities then they will be much harder for you to do.…
Overall, the benefits of starting school later in the day highly outweigh the opportunity costs. Schools would see happier and more attentive students filling the desks every day. When the students are happy, everything else works out. This idea has proven to benefit trying schools, so this idea has many reasons to be given a…
Teenagers are often given a bad reputation because they are seen as irritable, uncooperative, and irresponsible. Adults tend to complain about their children never waking up on time, but little do they know that their adolescent children have different sleeping patterns that enables them to stay up late, and arise late. High school students experience enough stress considering their homework load, and they also suffer the hardships of waking up remarkably early in the morning for school. Be that as it may, adolescents still have to discern how to wake up early to be prepared for adulthood, but at this moment, their bodies are not primed for the early mornings such as adults are. Contrary to the current law, schools should begin subsequently to the prevailing early mornings because the untimely school starts result in negative health effects, increased safety risks, and poor academic performance.…
One reason schools should start later is because of the importance of how students could more effortlessly become involved with school. By starting school later, it would allow students to score higher in their core classes because students are able to get more sleep, which results in increased performances (Wahlstrom 10). To further support this, Wahlstrom mentions in a study done in multiple different high schools, “Statistically significant increases in the 1st period grade point average in one or more core courses of English, math, social studies, and science with start times from 8:00-8:30 [in the morning]” (11). She then continues with, “Significant increases in grade point average in all 1st-period core courses for all semesters in all grades in Jackson Hole High School in Wyoming, with a start time of 8:55 [in the morning]” (11). This…
Starting school later in the day kids will be able to function during the school day, getting the sleep they need, and having an increase of school attendance. We want our kids to be excited about school and want to go. In all, school times should be pushed back at least 40 minutes. It will help students get the sleep they need so they can be proficient in school and be ready to give it their…
In conclusion, if the school start time is pushed back, our after school activities are pushed back, we will get home later and we will have less time to study and we will get less sleep. Starting school later in the morning does NOT give us more time to sleep. We will be forced to stay up later to study for the big test, to finish the project, and to do the thirty math problems we haven’t made a dent in yet because we haven’t had TIME. We will be waking up an hour earlier to finish homework we were too tired to get done the night before and we will end up getting less…
