High school classes should begin later in the day and end later in the day to accommodate students' natural sleep clocks, this would get them on a schedule and would also allow them to stay energized through they whole day. Schools should end later in the day so that when students get home, they won't have time to take a nap, which tend to make people stay up later then they need to. Teenagers need lots of sleep and by beginning and ending the classes later would make that a lot easier! If schools were to open up later in the day then students would pay more attention in their classes; They would be more alert and awake. Beginning schools later in the day would have a positive effect on everyone including the teachers and administration,…
Some people think that school should start later, due to a variety of reasons. They may say that you can get a bigger breakfast when having more time. Most parents have to go to work before their kids wake up, so that they wouldn’t be able to make a big breakfast in time or at all. Other people supporting the later school start time will say the obvious, that you get more sleep. However, kids will start vamping with the extra time they have and can get them an even more limited time of sleep.…
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…
It's 7:30 as the first bell rings and kids are tired and walking to there classes barely awake like zombies. School starting so early can hurt middle school and high schoolers education. Studies show even moving start times back 30 min would help and be a step in the right direction. The more awake kids are the more information they take in . Yes the kids could help themselves by going to sleep earlier but biological research shows that circadian rhythms shift causing teens to stay up later. Schools should start later because they start a bit to early because too little sleep can cause problems, health organizations and doctors recommend later start times, and Later start times will improve grades.…
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…
Many benefits would come from moving the start time to a later time. One issue with schools’ early start time is that students become sleep deprived. A teenages normal circadian sleep rhythm is they won’t fall asleep before 11 PM and they some have to be up by 5:00 or 6:00 AM to get ready and to be at school on time (npr). This is causing students to not get the healthy 8-10 hours of sleep that they need.…
Have you ever woken up feeling groggy and not wanting to go to school or do anything at all? As a result, many students go to school late or do not academically progress and participate in class. According to the Scholastic Scope article “Should School Start Later?” by Justin O’Neil and the article “Sleepy Teens: High School Should Start Later in the Morning” by Mark Fischetti, many schools are considering starting school later to help students succeed academically. Students have more trouble concentrating in class because they are not getting enough sleep. Some students arrive at school later because they oversleep. To make sure that there is less tardiness and the academic growth increases, schools are looking…
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.…
School Starts Too Early School start times have been an ongoing topic of discussion that causes many arguments. Many people say that school should start later so that students can get more sleep and be able to stay awake during school. On the other side, people argue that schools should keep the early start times so that events can take place after school and so the students learn to get up early for when they get a job later in life. The early school start times are a big problem that may cause students to fail or even negatively impact a student’s health.…
Schools should end later. From my personal experience, I usually end school and then have hours of extra curricular activities, because I am a dancer. This limits my time that I am able to spend on homework, and causes me to stress out. Also, it forces me to go to bed later and not get enough sleep for a growing teen. If school ended earlier I would be able to finish my homework earlier and get to go to bed earlier which would enable me to then get more sleep. Finally, I would get to spend more time with family. I am always rushing home from school, right to my homework and then off to dance, and then back home for homework. I never get to talk to my family and tell them about my day.…
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…
One reason school start times should be later than they are now is because junior high and high school students are “programmed” to stay up late and sleep in. During teenage years, students bodies are designed to stay up later and sleep in. Both When Sleep Becomes A Nightmare, an article written by Scholastic, and the National Sleep Foundation website agree with just that! Nancy Shute, an award-winning science journalist, stated on npr.com “...it’s difficult, if not impossible, for them to fall asleep before 10:30.” If students fall asleep at 10:30 pm and get the recommended amount of rest, which is 9 ½ hours, students should not wake up until 7:00 am. Some schools have already started class at this…
School should start later because kids don’t get enough sleep. School starts way too early. Kids are even falling asleep in class. If kids don't get enough sleep, they will have a hard time waking up in the morning. Kids aren’t the only ones having problems, teachers have problems too. Kids can’t get enough sleep because school starts early and kids have to wake up at least an hour before school even…
Starting school later is a big decision for students, teachers and also parents. Students get tired and to a point where enough is enough. When there is late start because of bad weather, students seem to get to school and be alert. It is very hard to wake up in the morning for some students because of the night before they might have had to do homework or get caught up doing errands and they seem to go to sleep late and they don’t get much hours of sleep. Schools need to think more about students academics and really look into if that student is behind, or is not getting enough sleep and do something about it like make school start later. School should start later because students always complain about how early they have to get to school…
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…
