Welcome to high school, where we teach your children how to live life in the real world. They drag

In “High Schools Starting Later to Help Sleepy Teens” by Michelle Trudeau and “High Schools Will Keep Starting Too Early.Here’s why.” by Dan Weissman they both have their own perspectives on life about school starting times and the problems they may bring to the students of high schools.In Michelle Trudeau’s story she says that the starting times for high schools has many students still very drowsy and tired most of the time having them nod off during school instruction.She states that in an average high school 20% of students fall asleep in class on a typical day.Therefore, in need to prevent this from happening teens need more sleep as opposed to them not getting enough sleep from either staying up late or period as some experts say.There are many ways to add additional support for teens and their sleep.

The Delicious Food We Eat A Satire on the Food Provided By the Federal School Food Program One of many students’ favorite times of the typical school day is lunch time. Students have the chance to get out of the routine of class and relax for a while, eat lunch, and socialize. They are able to enjoy a delicious meal sometimes on campus, and sometimes off campus. The majority of people stay in house and choose to eat the food provided for them by the school.

High school is always considered some of the best years of life. Students live with their families, see their friends almost everyday, and participate in the activities they love with the people they love. It has enough freedom for the student to decide how hard they will try, but it also has just the right amount of restrictions that parents can step in to make the student work. High school also gives students many opportunities to succeed and keep letting them try again if they fail. For example, a math teacher may allow a student to retake two test throughout a semester, but if the student proves that they are trying in the class then the teacher may allow them to retake a few more tests. Also, schoolwork is not tedious or lengthy,

In today's society, most people desire success. They want to attend a respected college, earn exceptional grades, get a wonderful job, and make a lot of money. However, the road to success starts before all of those accomplishments can happen. This journey begins in the classroom. In the classroom, over 25% of all high-school students fall asleep one or more times a week (Mayer-Hohdahl 1). Why does this happen? Schools have sleepy students because of their early start times. "Starting high school early is probably one of the worst things you can do as far as timing the day, as far as adolescents being alert or ready" (Wooley 2). This is a serious problem in high schools all across the nation. Students are tired, and teachers are

But we simply do not have enough time in the day. Some students don’t get home to almost seven after sports are done, some have jobs and don’t get home until seven o’clock… Before we know it, its eight o’clock and we still have three hours of homework to do. Going to sleep at eleven and waking up at six is not enough sleep for students. Because of all the work we receive in school, we need more time to sleep and make sure our mind set is in the right place. It doesn’t matter how smart you are, if you don’t get enough sleep your brain will not absorb information you learn.

Some say that high school is the best four years of life but, this is not the case for everyone. Leon Botstein certainly would not agree with that statement. In his article “Let Teenagers Try Adulthood,” Botstein talks about all that needs changed with high schools and schooling in general. However, his argument is not powerful. Botstein’s use of syntax, diction, and structure is ineffective.

Schools make a lot of great choices regarding their students’ education, but their one major flaw

The primary reason for attending school is for adolescents to get an education in hopes of getting a good job.  Attendance, test scores, and GPA’s all play an important role in a student’s success in school, and if they can all be improved by pushing the start time back, then this issue should be pushed further.  The root problem of students not performing to their full potential has to do with the inability to focus from drowsiness in class due to the lack of sleep they are getting.  To support this point, Carskadon, a professor of psychiatry and human behavior, and his team, “found that students showed up for morning classes seriously sleep-deprived and that the 7:20 a.m. start time required them to be awake during hours that ran contrary to their internal clocks” (Richmond).  In other words, Carskadon believes that current high school start times go against teens’ natural sleep patterns, making them be awake at a time where their bodies aren’t ready to get up yet.  This causes concentration issues making paying attention in class harder, and kids not getting the best grades they can.  Also, sleep won’t get any

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.

Attending high schools should be more than just exposing students to a structured curriculum. High school should also be a place where students are allowed to think outside of the box. Schools should inspire creativity, sparks curiosity, and fuels ambition.

Have you ever gone to high school and fell asleep during instruction? If so you should be reading this! In this essay I will be using details from the two articles “High Schools Starting Later To Help Sleepy Teens” and “High Schools Will Start Too Early, Here’s why” to explain both authors(Michelle Trudeau & Dan Weissmann) claim about high school start times.I will also tell how both authors(Michelle Trudeau & Dan Weissman) advance on their unique perspective.

It has been proven by scientist that high school starts way to early and the human mind can’t function properly at 7 A.M. which is when high school takes up for most places in the country. The human brain needs at least eight hours of sleep a night and also the human

The girls’ bathrooms at Buchanan High are extremely neglected and under kept which poses health concerns for students. The sanitary issues in the bathroom is a problem for everyone because it tells students’ not important enough to have clean and well- maintained bathrooms, which is demoralizing. Under-maintained restrooms suggest an unhealthy learning environment. Therefore, the lack of seat covers, irregular stock up of soap, and lack of feminine hygiene products offered in the bathroom are serious issues that need to be addressed for the safety and morale of female students.

When students hot high school, they experience something new. Students have a wake up at such an early time to make it at school on time. My high school started at 7:30 am, and I had to get up at 6am to take a shower, get dressed, and have breakfast just to get to school on time. When first period hit, I am still so tired. Also, take in account the kids who have to take the bus to get to school on time. Those students have to get up so much earlier than most to catch their bus. Students should not have to be so tired during class. High school students should be allowed to sleep in and come to school at a later time do they aren't so tired and they can focus better Students just aren't getting enough sleep.

Student behavior and discipline in the classroom have been impacted by legislation and litigation as was discussed in an article written by Mitchell Yell and Michael Rozalski, The Impact of Legislation and Litigation on Disciple and Student Behavior in the Classroom. The authors believe that all students should receive their education in safe, orderly, and well-disciplined schools but maintaining these environments has become a major challenge for educators (Yell, M & Rozalski, M, 2008). Most states have laws that govern discipline in schools which also protect the rights of students in public education (Yell, et.al, 2008). These state laws control the actions of school officials when they carry out certain discipline-related functions, such as gathering evidence (e.g., searching students, their lockers, or their personal property), seizing contraband from students’ backpacks, or conducting any administrative actions that restrict a student’s property interest to attend school (e.g., suspension, expulsion) (Yell, et.al, 2008). A student’s entitlement under state law to a public education is
