Ameen said he aims for a bedtime of 11:30 p.m. but if he has a big test or a paper he might not go to bed until 12:30 or 1 a.m.. At most, he gets seven hours of sleep at night and usually around five or six, he said” (Reddy).

Students are not getting enough sleep. There is either homework or after school activities keeping kids from getting the right amount of sleep they need. The author states that, most kids are going to bed at 10 p.m. or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early the next day. Changes can be made at school to adjust to students’ sleep patterns. Some ways schools can adjust to students’ sleep patterns is shifting the time to start later, giving less homework or less after school programs, schools could also end sooner.

The mindset towards students in "Funds of Knowledge for Teaching" is one where a teacher develops a deeper and realistic understanding of students beyond the classroom. Teachers are encouraged to conduct visits to students' household to see how students interact within their families, how parents and other family members contribute to the social and emotional development of students and how that qualitative information can be used to design instruction. The article stresses that teachers see the intelligence and cultural experiences of students outside the classroom by visiting their households and becoming learners themselves to gain valuable insight into their daily lives. By using the information gathered from the household to design instruction,

School districts have to find ways to hire knowledgeable and committed teachers. One way to draw the knowledgeable teacher is to offer stipends for teacher shortage areas and sign on bonuses. Districts must continue to offer some type of incentives to maintain good teachers. Teacher tenure is another great incentive but can sometimes cause good teachers to become too laidback. Tenure grants educators “a right, term, or mode of holding or occupying something of value for a period of time.” (Tenure) Basically, tenure in the education realm grants what some would call stability or even security.

Many high school students wander into school each day shuffling around and trying not to pass out in their classes. In order to cut back on sleep-deprived teens, we must follow through with this solution; it would give students enough time to go to bed early and wake up at an appropriate time. According to Sleep Foundation, teenagers require eight to ten hours of sleep and are not getting that with the current schedule. Many teenagers have discombobulated biological clocks and need the opportunity to adjust their sleeping schedule as they see fit. If this plan were to be put into practice, more positive attitudes would emerge from schools all over America due to their fulfilled need of sleep, which would give teachers, students, principals, counselors, and even parents a more productive start to each day. On the other hand, I realize that the opposing side of this intelligent solution may proclaim that some teenagers would abuse this and go to bed even later, but people must also realize that a large amount of teenagers who wish to succeed academically would gladly not abuse this and respect this privilege; although there would be some teenagers to mistreat this, it is up to the maturity level of the student, and they choose whether they want to succeed or

Most student’s after school activities start between 5 to 7 o’clock and don’t end until 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. If students start school at 7:30 a.m. it makes 6:15 a.m. a viable rising time, with our knowledge a teenager needs 9 ¼ hours of sleep, so we are asking them to go to sleep by 9 p.m. Very rarely is a teenager with a hectic schedule going to be able to complete school work, sports practice or games, clubs, volunteer work, and paid employment and go to bed by 9:00 p.m. Teenagers are not able to get their after school activities completed and get the 9 ¼ hours of sleep they need to have higher overall performance in academics and

Meanwhile, as I’m in my room, I can hear the constant arguing late at “Wow, finally I can do my homework, ” I kept thinking to myself while giving myself a subtle smile. Thanks to staying after school, I thought that if I ever needed help doing my homework, I could ask any teacher to clarify any questions I had. All things considered, staying after school every day wasn’t what I wanted, the thought of being able to slip into some pajamas was an incomparable feeling, which made me realize, “What if I did my homework right when I arrived home, before Luis wakes up?”-usually, after a night of heavy drinking, he sleeps most of the day, until six when he has to pick up my mother from work. Even so, every time I walked towards the front steps of my house, I always took deep breathes while anticipating that I wouldn’t wake him

Greg wakes up thinking that he will get to school on time but soon finds out he pressed snooze one too many times. He wakes up at 6:38 and only has 12 minutes to get ready and make his way to the bus stop, already in a bad mood he quickly gets ready feeling groggy and not well rested.

The mode of financing higher education in the public sector is central to higher education policy making because it reflects how education is provided to society and at what price. It also indicates the policy stance of the government towards higher education. (Chattopadhay 2007).Once the government has initiated economic reform policies and had frozen budgets for higher education, financial reforms were unveiled. In the post economic reforms period, since 1991 till today, different commission and committees have been constituted by the government or its agencies on higher education.
