‘The school day should start late’ Almost every weekday‚ high school students are waking up around six o’clock in the morning to get ready for school‚ some even earlier. It’s not practical for high school classes to start at 8.30 or earlier. It’s just too early for teenage minds to function properly. Our school should start at least an hour later than that. With the extra hour‚ our attendance would improve‚ as well as our grades and attitudes. The facts are all there‚ so why shouldn’t the hours
