Why Should School Start Later?
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. First, and obvious reason, teens will get more sleep. Everyone loves sleep. How can you not? Teens are supposed to be getting at least 8 hours of sleep at night but most are receiving less than 7 hours. This is because
of staying up late for homework and other activities. It is a proven fact that more sleep will improve more focus from teens. If school started later it would let teens get more sleep and do better on assignments in class. It is just too early for the average mind of a teen to operate. Also students might be more motivated and have better attitudes.
Second, making school start later will be safer and more convenient for students and their parents. Most students go home after school and are by themselves. Some of us don’t know how serious situations. Something could easily go wrong within those hours we are at home alone, but if weget out of school later we would be getting home closer to the time our parents do. So later start times could be safer for some students. Lastly, if school starts and ends earlier loads of work at night will not be such a hassle. When I get home it's already 7:00 p.m because of other school extra curricular activities. I feel rushed doing my homework. I already get a lot of homework and I feel like I have to hurry up and finish so I can get a good night sleep. If school starts later I won’t have to rush as much. If I get home around 7:00 p.m. get done with my homework at whatever time and I will probably still get a good amount of sleep. Even if I went to sleep at midnight and then school starts around 9:00 I’ll still get a good amount of sleep because I am waking up around 8:00! Lots of homework wouldn’t be such a bother. See, there are many positive things that could happen if school started later. Teens would get more sleep, it could be safer and more convenient and students might not have to rush at night when they do work. So why shouldn’t school start later?
