Should Schools Go Year Round? Over 3‚000 schools have switched to year-round schooling in 46 different states. This makes up nearly ten percent of all public schools. “Traditional” schools are starting to decrease in numbers as year-round schools start to increase to “save money” (“Schools Without Summer Break: An In-Depth Look at Year-Round Schooling”‚ 1).

This is a flaw in the system because teens in adolescence have different sleep cycles than adults and this should be taken into account when preparing the future of our nation for the world. School should start at 8:30 am because of the negative effects insufficient sleep can have on students. First of all‚ students are negatively
