Mccorkle: Great School Climate

Among the practices of the best high school in America is starting later at 9:15. If the best High school starts later than why aren’t other high schools following in their footsteps. The idea that high school should start later is suggested by the public health experts. The public health experts say that teens brains are wired to wake up later in the day. But high schools are still starting early and because of that teens are prone to misbehave, be late to class, and not do well with their grades. In Lisa L. Lewis article, “The Best High School Starts At 9:15 Why aren’t more schools following its lead believes that other high schools should follow the high school in Dallas so they can succeed as well.

St. Labre were having thoughts about changing the school days by shorting a period from 8th to 7th period. Most people, including myself, believe that shorting a period is a bad idea. Some people say that they wouldn’t get enough work done, or don’t like the feeling of losing a class. Other people would say it’s good that there’s one less of a class. However, I want to explain to you why they should keep the schedule as it is.

Year round school is a great idea because it lets teachers teach what they need to for that year with out having to review for have the year. If students went all year for school and only had breaks for holidays then they would be less likely to forget their school work and would have higher test scores. While this may cost more money would it truly matter if once the students get out of school they would have better chances of getting jobs with the higher test scores they have. during the holiday breaks the students have this will also be the teachers breaks.
