Students are forced to sit too much in school hours. People who sit for 30 minutes at a time are healthier and have a lower risk of early death meanwhile people who sit for more than 30 minutes have a higher risk of early death. Students sit to 45-50 minutes in a classroom then get a break to walk to the next class. Students also have extra curricular classes to take such as gym, they are active in that class for around 45-50 minutes. Not all students are forced to take the gym class every year. “As we age and our physical and mental function declines, we become more and more sedentary”(1) Your body need to be able to stretch and move around to maintain healthiness. As your sitting time increases so does your early death time. Students
Many parents and teachers believe it to be the fact that students stay up late and don’t get enough sleep, however there may be an underlying factor that may be out of a student’s control. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute highly recommends students, especially teenagers, get an average night of sleep around nine to ten hours. The easy solution would be for students to sleep early, however students are naturally wired to sleep late (Gilpin.) Sleep patterns change as you grow older, the pressure to sleep becomes more delayed to the later evening. This pressure to sleep is controlled according to a person’s circadian rhythm, which is the biological clock of
One of these benefits is that the students and the teachers would both obtain added sleep, therefore; their health would increase. The recommended hours of sleep a night for teens is over nine hours and an abundance of teens do not reach this number due to late nights and early mornings (Boergers, 1). If students received the recommended hours of sleep per night, their health would increase greatly. An immense health benefit of getting enough sleep per night is that it lowers depression (Boergers, 2). Some health risks that accompany not receiving enough sleep are obesity, drinking problems, tobacco smoking, and use of drugs (Viadero, 5). Sleep deprivation can also cause anxiety and depression. Therefore, if schools started later, students would, overall, be healthier. Another pro to arriving at school later would be the
School days should not be longer. The article is about a child's school day. Also, some statistics about what country´s scored higher on tests for every subject. The school days should not be longer because kids have a lot of homework. Also, during school students tend to be very tired. Finally, once the children get out of school they don't have a lot of time to play outside. To start off, the students get a lot of homework. Since they get a lot of homework the school day should be shorter because the homework is reinforcing the skills they learned. ¨The school day is OVER,¨ . This shows how the children were waiting to going home. I know this because the over is capitalized showing how the students are happy the day is over. Another
Studies show that teens who don't sleep enough often suffer mentally and physically. Students are expected to be fully awake and participating in all their classes. If a student spends all night studying and goes to sleep late, they have a hard time functioning in the morning. On average a teenager gets six to seven hours of sleep a night. Then again if we were to delay classes students would be able to sleep longer and be more productive.
School hours can last up to seven hours and more but, adding more hours to school isn't the best idea. I highly think that adding more hours isn't the best idea to do. To begin with, some students need more time to themself or just to relax. Also, a lot of kids these days don't want more hours to be added to school time. Finally, some kids need time to bond with their family members because family is a very important aspect of life to many people.
I think this is a great idea for those who sleep or need to strech.Why not?
Do you think that students should have a longer time in the hall and have shorter breaks. These will help Mr.Hale. taking short breaks will help because, it lets teachers grade and get caught up, you can have time on your phone or any other technology, it would give you time to go to the nurse or office.
*A person being physically active for at least 7 hours a week have a 40% lower risk of dying early than those who were active less than 30 minutes a week. (Division of Nutrition and Obesity, June, 2015)
First of all, physical activity is needed in order to live healthy lives. According to Video 1, recess is a way to expend energy in a suitable manner. When you are physically active at school, you are more likely to be more physically active at home. Also, overweight, obese, or suffering children need to be physically active to have good health. Advances in brain research have
You problem have wounder or said we need more “hall”. But would be good for you day and could have enough learn time. In my opinion, students should not have more time in the halls because 5 mins. is enough, more school hours.
Adolescents who do not get enough sleep are more likely to be overweight, not engage in daily physical activity, suffer from depressive symptons, engage in unhealthy risk behaviors such as drinking, smoking tobacco, and using illicit drugs. (Schools Start Too Early) Therefore, if we can make the school start time later, then the students will have more time to sleep which is good for their health. Some people may argue that students can go to bed earlier so that they can still get enough sleep. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics states that adolescents have unique sleep rhythms that make it harder for them to go to sleep and wake up earlier than other people, so they issued a new policy statement recommending that middle and high schools start class no earlier than 8:30 a.m. (Strauss) Because of this unique sleep rhythm among teenagers, we need to delay school start time to give them time to get more sleep and a better health.
Another unfortunate hindrance to physical activity in schools is the notion that physical activity takes away from time that could be used for academic studies. This is unjustified however, because children of this age group are unable to sit and concentrate for long periods of time without being able to get up and move (McDevitt & Ormrod, 2010).
Many children and youth have fewer opportunities to be physically active at school as physical education classes and time spent being physically active at school have been reduced. Being overweight or obese has many risks involved. Serious conditions such as a stroke, high blood pressure, and Type 2 diabetes, can occur as a result, just to name a few.
Maybe another reason students are so unfocused is because class times are too long. After sitting in a chair at a desk listening to someone talk to me for 45 minutes, I’m exhausted and bored. It would be nice if during those 45 minutes we could have a few short breaks. I would be a lot more focused if I could get up for one minutes every 10 minutes or so and get a drink, stretch, and maybe talk to my friends in that class. Then I wouldn’t be falling asleep in class all the time. It would also give me a minute or so to focus on something else. But if the government expand the time , the school will get more boring and will lead to stress for a lot of
Sleeping during class getting a good rest until the bell rings.“Research show that students need as much sleep as they did when they were younger generally 8 1/2 to 9 1/4 hours each night (Carskadon).” Each night some kids might might not get all the sleep they need. “Research shows the typical adolescent’s natural time to fall asleep may be 11 pm or later; because of this change in their internal clocks, teens may feel wide awake at bedtime, even when they are exhausted.” Schools should start later because students need 8 hours of rest,there grades will become poor, also their health will become poor.
