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…
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.

Which is hard sense some of their transportation is relied on the buses or the case of their parents pulling them out of school to make sure they get to where they need to be at the specific time. I know after school I have do home work chores, which it takes almost a hour and half just to do it. Also on Wednesday I attend a therapy class with my friend; so I can give moral support her and also so I cant talk about my feeling/ problems as well. Second reason that school shouldn't start later is a horrible choice to make is because it limits the amount of time that we can do homework at home. Every night about 50 percent of my time is devoted on doing my homework and studying for any up coming tests.…
“Students and teachers should be in favor of later school start time because it results in increased grades, more hours of sleep, and fewer students sleeping in class.” Students should be given a chance to get enough sleep and it may result in higher grades in school and teachers will have more energy to teach student the fundamentals of school better. This method of teaching kids started in 2002 when school boards had the idea starting school at a later time. So students can get a better experience at school…

According to Wolfson and Carskadon's 1998 study, “26 percent of high school students routinely sleep less than 6.5 hours on school nights, and only 15 percent sleep 8.5 hours or more” (Carpenter). In result to that, many adolescents try to sleep longer on weekends to “catch up” on their sleep hoping it will contribute to the tiredness they will feel the following Monday morning. There are many statistics that show how dramatic the effects of not getting enough sleep are on a teenager’s…

School start times is a major issue for students. It’s has either been affecting them academically, or by reducing the students sleep time.

On the other hand, some might say sleeping is not the most necessary thing of the day. Stating “The amount a sleep a student gain doesn’t affect their academic performance.” Even…
If schools were to start later in the morning, it would reduce lateness and students skipping school.2 Starting school later improved attendance.2 For instance, if there was, on average three students out of every ten showing up late to school on a regular basis and then school started later reducing that number to one, which had payed off in the end. When students had gotten more sleep in the morning, they were less lumpish and more passionate about going to school.2 Students will then learn even more and soak everything up like a sponge. Just imagine what the future could bring them.…
