Why School Should Start Later
Your alarm rings, and you open your eyes. You are lazy, cranky, and tired. Then you smack the snooze button, and go back to your dream. Your parent comes to wake you up, but you keep on saying, “Just a few more minutes, please?” They leave you and give you five more minutes. But you always want more sleep. School’s shouldn’t start later? Firstly, schools should not start later because according to Justin O'Neill he says ,“....Many parents would no longer have time before work to drive their kids to school” (21). This obviously proves that parents would have difficult times rearranging work. Parents will most likely have trouble with their bosses. They would also have trouble taking their kids to school. This is why schools shouldn’t start
later. Secondly, Schools should not start later because, “ There are also those who worry that if classes start later, teens will just go to bed later”(21). This show that this is the cause of why children need to more sleep. It’s because children don’t get enough sleep. Maybe it is because they stay up on their phones all night. School should not start later.
Justin O'Neills continues to argue that “....70% of teens aren’t getting enough sleep”(20). And they also might say that, “...study have found that middle schoolers’ test scores rose in reading than math”(20). This proves that kids may be up all night. This can be that they just don’t get enough sleep for their body. It might be because they don’t study hard enough. Parents also might argue that, yes we should because, “School have pushed start times to 8 a.m, and students are alert and there are fewer incidents than tardies” (20).
This proves to us that children are more responsible. It is true that there will be less tardies than usual. But, there will still be tardies.This is why schools should not start later. In conclusion, we don’t need school’s to start later. Schools should not start later because of the problems we will have if we do let schools start later. It will not help us that much if schools do start later. It will only let us get enough sleep. So this is why Schools shouldn’t start later.
