How many times has this happened to you; it’s six thirty on a Tuesday morning, your alarm has already gone off twice, your still laying in bed and your bus comes in twenty minutes. This is an everyday occurrence at my house. It is a proven statistic that the average high school student does not get enough sleep. While some experts like Dr. Lee Yanku say “It is not the schools starting time that is the problem as to why students don’t get enough sleep, it is because of facebook, myspace and cell phones” The truth behind it is that we can’t budget sports, homework and extracurricular activities into one day and still get nine hours of sleep. This is hurting student’s academic averages and needs to change. Changing the school time will help

In today's century it is essential to have an education to enhance your job and provide a comfortable future for your family. After having children we realize that education is significant in order to succeed. While working takes a lot of time away from family, adding school to your schedule makes it difficult to spend quality time with your children. The problem most people face with balancing school, work, and family is being an excellent student, an outstanding employee, and a caring parent all in the same day.

Each year, exhausted teenagers leave themselves to another day of battling their bodies clocks so they can get in class on time. It's outstanding that teenagers who don't get eight hours of rest a night confronts a large number of issues. That is the reason why both the American Institute of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control recommend shifting middle- and high-school start times to 8:30 a.m or later. However, during 2011-2012 school year, the latest statistics accessible — just 17.7 % of the national public middle, high and combined schools met the 8:30 a.m. rule, and almost 40% began before 8 a.m. In California, the normal start time was 8:07 a.m.

Do you feel like you do not get enough sleep or feel like you can not make it through the school day? For years kids like you complain about having to wake up early to go to school, but for many years they have studied and found out that later school starting times can benefit kids. It has been proven that kids who get at least nine hours of sleep perform better than those who get less that nine hours. As a high school student I do not get enough sleep through the night due to all of the homework and studying I have to do for the next day. I usually go to bed around 11:30 and have to get up at 7:00 in order to get to school on time. I think school should have a later starting time, because with all of the studies, the facts state that later school time makes students more productive and it makes them a better student overall.

Did you know that most Middle and High schools in America start earlier than 8:30am? I chose this topic not because our school has an early start time but because most schools in America start schools earlier than 8:30am. Lack of sleep can have lasting effects on a student’s ability to learn and hinder memory in a student. Today I’m going to tell you why schools should start later in the morning and the benefits of starting early. First, by looking at the current situation of starting schools later and why it’s a good idea to start school later.

As this school year goes on students will find themselves unable to wake up bright and early for school. Every morning children have the constant struggle of getting ready in time to catch the early morning bus, they usually don’t even have time for a healthy breakfast! That is outrageous, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it gives kids the power they need to get through the day. Also having school so early effects students sleep, health/wellbeing, and the adults around them. All of these problems could be solved with one simple change.

School starts way too early in the morning, many schools throughout the world start in the early hours of the day. Beginning as an elementary student, most kids start with very early mornings, school should start at the earliest 9 AM. Starting school at 7 Am is very common and 2 Pm is common for them to get out. Students have to wake up earlier than that so they will be ready for the bus or for their rides to school. This causes people to be sleep deprived which causes health conditions that can be very deadly.

Often in middle or high school, students are given a chance to receive full credit for work they did not turn in on time by using something called a late pass. In some situations, they were even rewarded with extra credit after the semester for not using the late pass on an assignment. When these students who relied on these late work passes to help them keep a good grade get into college, they are finding that professors aren’t so lenient towards late work. Late work in college usually consists of an immediate letter grade drop. Educators are realizing that the way that late work is treated in middle school and high school is not preparing our youth for the real world. Our education system needs to be less lenient on students being able to turn work in late just because they were too lazy to do it and turn it in by the deadline. In saying this, I also believe that it is important to look at the circumstances as to why the student might have not been able to turn the assignment in on time.

Have you ever been tardy for sleeping in? Or have performed worse in school just because of sleep? Or fallen asleep in class? Well, if school started later none of these thing would happen to you. Schools should start later because it won't have a negative effect on students during the day. Schools should start later because it will decrease the number of students who have health and emotional problems, improve students school performances, and decrease the number of students who are tardy from sleeping in.

Do you want schools to start later than the average start time? Well I do because the average start time of schools in the country is 8:30 and study says that school should start later than average start time and kids never get any sleep or get to do their homework and effects with our grades.

Imagine this, you’re up until 12 a.m the previous night completing your homework, putting the finishing touches on your project and studying for you big exam the next day. You have to wake up at 6 a.m. to be able to have enough time to get ready and commute to school, but not enough time to enjoy a healthy and well balanced breakfast because school starts promptly at 7:50 a.m .How will this affect you throughout the school day ? I believe that school days should begin later than 7:50 AM because if so students will be able to get enough sleep and will have enough travel time.

In my opinion, being tired at school will continue to be a serious problem until school boards will make school later in the day. I think that school should start later and end at the usual time.

CM contacted Mrs. Mills (parent) regarding a follow-up on Thalia (youth). Ms. Mills informed CM that Thalia is doing well and is balancing school, work, and cross-fit. Ms. Mills explained to CM that Thalia is in school six days a week. Mrs. Mills does not want the youth to become exhausted from school, work, and cross-fit.
