In elementary school it was never a problem getting up but getting older, it always got harder to get up and the days were always longer. Schools start so early in the morning that it is hard to focus and students tend to miss more of their earlier classes and attend all of their later classes.

How would it sound if school weeks were only four days long and, in doing that, it saved your school money at the same time? Well, for some rural schools across the nation, this has become a reality. Four day school weeks are becoming a necessity for some rural school districts that lack funding. It provides a realistic way for schools to remain open and also has added benefits beyond saving money.

Imagine a room full of 30 plus 12th-grade colonists on the first day of school at Anaheim high school and the math teacher asks what is the square root of 16?

Students should also be able to get help in programs especially in math which is what most students struggle with.

On the other side, some professors try to force students into a nine hour school day. Not so many years ago, school was a main part of my life, and the school days’ structure and length affected my social life and ability to study.

The author proves their point by citing reasons and evidence from different sources to support his/her claim of why we should lengthen the school year. One of the author's main reasons is that the author states that students lose facts and knowledge every week they are out of school. In the text it says “Every week that students are not in school, they are forgetting some of the facts, and skills they learned.” Another reason that supports his/her claim of why we should lengthen the school year is because students are getting unhealthy when summer passes because they play games sleep and eat all day long in summer.

Everyone in America has to go to school at some point in their life. Most students in California attend school for 6 hours a day.

More and more individuals everyday are realizing the effects of a school’s start time on those attending the school, teaching at the school, parents of those who attend the school as well as the surrounding community. “…education seems to be the most sleep-deprived field in America” (Black, 2001).

My argument is to have longer school days and more school days in the schools of Anaheim. In Marita’s Bargain, Gladwell points out that students are more successful when they’re in school for a longer day. “I think that extended amount of time gives you the chance as a teacher to explain things, and more time for kids to sit and digest everything that’s going on - to review, to do things at a much slower pace”(10). This teacher even says that having a longer school day is better than a regular school day. Having a longer school day gives the opportunity to
