Why School Should Start Later
I am going to be arguing about why school shouldn't start later. I think that school should start at the same time it does now. I personally think that starting school at 7:55 is better than starting later on in the day. I am going to be telling you guys why I think that the school schedule should stay the same.

I think that starting school later is going to be worse because transportation, scheduling for the parents and after school activities. I will explain more about why i chose this topic. I did some research and i found out that adults start work at around 8:00 a.m. and their children go to school at about 7:30. So if the child is going to school at 7:30 then the parent still has enough time to make sure the child gets to school on time and enough time to worry about their jobs. The parent is able to take

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. If you like to do outdoor sports then by the time school ends (depending on the time you start). For example, if you were to start school at 12:00 p.m. you will do around 7 hours of school so you won't get out of school until 7:00 p.m. and by that time it is already starting to get dark you need some light to outside to play. Not only that but if you have 2 hour practices and you start practice at 8:00 p.m. then you won't be done until 10:00 p.m. you'll be completely drained and exhausted that you

    Schools shouldn’t start at later times. Schools shouldn’t do this because it would push back practice for school sports, parents would have a difficult time getting to work on time, and it’s harder for students to get home safely. If schools start later, students will not have enough time for homework or projects to finish. If they don’t, they’ll have a good amount of time to finish it. Yes, students will get more sleep if school does start later but keeping it the way it is had good reasons why it shouldn’t be pushed back.…

    Ever imagined what it would be like to get out early and have a lot of time to do whatever you want before the sun goes down? Do you think that school should start later to give teenagers more sleep? School shouldn't start later because 8:45 is already late enough, a earlier start makes for an earlier finish, and if students want more sleep then they should go to bed earlier. If you're in the school district I go to the school starts at 8:45.…

    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.…

    Circadian Rhythms are mental and behavior changes in the body. Even starting school at 8:30 can make a huge difference.” (Walker) Schools are avoiding the biology in this proven fact and blaming it on how teens are lazy or just don’t want to go school. “The Oxford and Harvard researchers recommend 10 a.m., which they say properly aligns with the “biological wake-up time” of a typical 16-year-old.…

    Firstly, let us start on the most gruelling time of the day. The morning. I always struggle to get out of my bed, because I did not get enough sleep. It is not just me though it is many people. Biologically we need 10 hours of sleep, but how can we do that if our school start so damn early! If we start at least 2 hours later, we can improve as a school. We students would be much happier and focused. Let me tell you a school named Mountain Creek State High School, The school starts at 10:30 am how amazing is that! Their school has won many awards. How did they achieve this? It all links up to when the students start and end. Starting later will benefit not only the students but the teachers as well. Now I think we need to be more like them and start at least 2 hours later.…

    One great reason why school should start later would be to give the kids time to wake up. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 60% of students complain that they are tired during the day, 15% of students fall asleep in class, and 59% of students get less sleep than their supposed to. When kids are tired, a learning environment would not be right for them. The first hour class is useless if you want to learn something valuable. Minds are not awake that early in the morning. According to the article Pediatricians Say School Should Start Later For Teens' Health, it is difficult for teenagers to fall asleep before 10:30. If kids can’t fall asleep early, and have to wake up early, they get a very low amount of sleep on weekdays. That isn’t…

    In conclusion, school days should begin later than 7:50 a.m. With a later start time students will be able to get enough sleep, which is pertinent in order for a student to be successful in school.

    Why does school start so early? Get up at 6:00, take a shower, get dressed, eat , brush teeth, go to school. I never want to get up in the morning. In my opinion school would be much better if it started at like nine. School isn’t bad at all. Having to get up makes school depressing. Making school start later will allow kids to get more sleep, students wouldn’t have to rush at night when doing work and it could possibly be safer for kids and more convenient for parents. Most students would agree that school should start later.…
