Shorter School Hours

The one reason why schools should stay at the same times is because Students who participate in sports, or other extracurricular activities typically meet for several hours after school. If school times are later, that means that these activities would continue later on in the day. This would make it difficult for students to participate and still have enough time to study, finish homework, participate in social activities, get to work on time and still get to bed at a decent

A lot of parents are shaking their heads at the consideration of a four-day school week, and a longer school day. Shorter school weeks or longer school days are reasonable solutions when there is a shortage of funding, or possible budget cuts coming to the school district. This solution has many mixed opinions from parents, teachers and school board members.

The denial of it has been used to torture many times. If you go without for too long, you will experience psychosis-like symptoms, along with long-term memory impairment, impaired cognitive functions, depression, high blood pressure, and probable mortality (a.k.a. death). As a society, not only to we withhold it from ourselves, but we impose an impoverished state on others. The mysterious formula? Sleep.

Many parents and students believe that school starts too early,I agree with them school hours should be pushed back.But some may argue why would this be necessary,or what can this change affect them. This change is beneficial for the students,in many ways such as conduct,grades,and tardies that is why pushing back school one hour will help and I will tell you how.

It has come to my attention that kids are going to school tired therefore looking like zombies. A good reason for this is that they are waking up so early for school. These reasons listed are why students should start school a little later in the morning. School should start later since students are not getting enough sleep, having health issues, consequently are getting severe and students are being tardy due to lack of sleep.

Typically, people enjoy receiving an extra hour of sleep, even an extra five minutes of sleep. Teens are just one group of people who enjoy sleep. Unfortunately, teens are unable to obtain the correct number of hours per night. Later school start times would be beneficial because the schools would see an impact on attendance, increased school performance, and based on several studies, students would receive the recommended amount of sleep. The psychological effects would greatly outweigh the negative effects caused by an early start time. Benefits of a later start time include, better health, improved grades and teens reaching the recommended amount of sleep per night. Downfalls of starting school later would be transportation issues, coddling

The students of this generation appear to be a bunch of lazy, depressed, unenergetic zombies, but is this entirely their fault? After a considerable amount of investigating it appears as if their lack of energy could be due to sleep deprivation resulting from early school start times. When later school times have been compared to those schools that start earlier, there are significant changes in the behaviors and results that students emit in a school environment. Schools should have a later start time that is better suited to the biological needs of adolescents as a way to aid them in achieving a higher quality education.

The authors of the two texts, “High Schools Starting Later to Help Sleepy Teens” and “High School Will Keep Starting Too Early. Here's why.” has different claims regarding the school start time for teenagers, mainly high schoolers. The author of the first text advocates that later school start time is beneficial. However, the author of the second text contradicts the later school start time.

School is never very exciting for most students, the day is long and most of the time very boring. I believe that the days are too long and should be changed.

“zzzzzzzzz’s” kids aren’t getting enough sleep because of early school start times.We need to make start times later so America is not the most sleep deprived nation in the world. I am going to tell you why school start times should be later and what happens when you are sleep deprived. We need to make school start times later so American kids are not so sleep deprived.

I know that all of us at one point or another have went to bed really late, and the next morning woke up only to realize that you were late to school. This happening causes many things to occur like: missing school, making bad grades, recurring health problems, and many more effects from the lack of sleep. The best way to prevent any of these from happening is to move the start time of school to later in the day. This would allow students to get enough sleep, not be late to class the next morning, and would reduce the risk of health problems. Surely by simply doing this it would bring more good than harm to our nation and it’s teenagers.

Are you up too late finishing homework, or playing video games late at night? Having a later school start can help students be energetic, safe, and improve in school work. Teenagers nowadays need more sleep than they use to need when they were younger. For these reasons schools should implement a later start time.

Over the course of the last few years, many people have studied and argued whether or not school should start later. Some studies suggest that a later start time would boost health and academic performance, and lower car crash rates and incidents of teen drinking. However, others still argue that high school should still start as early as 7:30 in the morning due to transportation scheduling, extracurricular activities, and the wishes of parents in the district.Although many people argue that a later start time will improve health and academic performance, there are many advantages to an earlier start time that go beyond health and grades.

On average in today’s society most teens don’t like going to school that early in the morning. To have to wake up so early when they only get about seven hours of sleep, to have students be coming into school at 7:30AM or maybe even earlier in some other schools, is not right. Students need to have time at night to get work done, not only schoolwork but also non-schoolwork. Needless to say, the school schedule for high school students needs to be changed and be made where they go in later. That way they get their work done and get enough sleep because without much sleep students will not be getting high grades. A health survey that the University Health Center administered showed them that one in four students say that lack of sleep has
