In a recent study at YHS 97.1% of students would rather start school later. Students should be able to start school later when they're awake. Students will have more time to eat in the morning instead of starving all day at school. Students will come with more energy instead of being dead at school. Students attendances would improve and reckless driving wouldn't occur so often. If school started later the increase on grades and attendances would go up.…
greater amount of time in the afternoon at school, chores would be left undone so that…
Did you ever take the time to think about if schools started later and how it would affect the students? It would affect the students in a big way. Some students believe that we should start schools later because kids would get more sleep, would have better grades, and kids would miss fewer days of school. Some students claim that schools should not start later because teens could just go to bed early to get the sleep they need but it depends on when the teens go to bed and when they wake up.…
I wake up at 6:00a.m. every morning during the weekdays and dread coming to school for seven and a half hours. The school board plans to add one and a half hours to school each day. Most schools start early in the morning and get out early in the afternoon. I’m not a morning person so I don’t like getting up early. On the weekends I sleep in really late unless we have to go somewhere.…
Do you feel like school should be started later in the morning? Well, the school should start later. Instead of school starting in 6:30, maybe it should start at 8. If schools delayed the start of the school, communities will have reduced tardiness, sleeping in class, accident rates, improved attendance, and higher test scores. School starting at 8 will most likely decrease the number of students falling asleep in class.…
Introduction- Sara mckibben stated to the Start Schools Later Healthy Hours article, that more than 82.2% of U.S. middle, high, and combined public school require students to attend classes at times earlier than recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Children and teens need more sleep, but school starts so early they do not get that sleep. However some people think they should not start later in the day. Schools should start later in the day because children and teens need more sleep and teen car crashes happen more when teens are tired and have to go to school.…
“Go to bed earlier if you’re tired,” said every parent in this world. Teenagers circadian sleep rhythm is they won’t fall asleep before 11 PM. Schools’ early start times cause students many issues, therefore schools should move their starting time to a later time. Many issues come upon starting school early such as sleep deprivation and the health and safety of the teenagers. To fix these issues the solution is to move schools’ start times to a later time no earlier than 8:30 AM.…
Over 3,000 schools have switched to year-round schooling in 46 different states. This makes up nearly ten percent of all public schools. “Traditional” schools are starting to decrease in numbers as year-round schools start to increase to “save money” (“Schools Without Summer Break: An In-Depth Look at Year-Round Schooling”, 1). But I don’t agree with converting schools to year-round facilities because students may find themselves in a multi-tracked school system which could be could problematic for the students and their families, there will be conflicts for family regarding child care, and students will miss out on summertime experiences.…
Sophia Poirier 5 Paragraph Rough Draft. Have you ever wished the school day could start later? To some people, a “yes” is the immediate answer, but I disagree. I don't think the school day should start later because school would end later, there would be less time for other activities, and it would be very inconvenient for parents. To start off, schools will end later.…
I think that starting the school day later would greatly benefit the students and teachers. if we started school at about say nine thirty in the morning instead of eight thirty or earlier, that would mean that most students wouldn't need to be awake in the morning till almost seven thirty to eight thirty and some kids could even wake up a little later then that depending on where they live. granite it is proven that high school students only need six to eight hours of sleep each night but there is always that few that never get the six to eight hours of sleep.…
The board of education are thinking about changing five day school weeks to four day school weeks. Which is a brilliant idea, because having four day school weeks will improve students attendance, for instance students who have doctor appointments they can go on Friday the day the students got off of school for the weekend, instead of having to leave in the middle of class. Another reason school should have four day school weeks is that it will save more money because when schools have a whole week, they have to use money to fill up the buses, which will be a bunch of money going down the drain, but with the four day school weeks they wouldn't have that problem. But having this four day week it will also improve students learning, because students…

Most high schools in the United States start school before eight a.m. Boards of Education do this to help make transportation easier and to finish the day quicker (Eight). Alas, they seem to forget about the effect of early start times on students. Later start times, anything after eight o’clock in the morning, would benefit students in multiple ways.…
School start times cause over 100,000 crashes each year. School start time decreases the student's knowledge. As well as school start time increase more car crashes each year. Many kids are also only getting 7 hours of sleep, due to how early school is starting.…
As modern society advances at astonishing rates, it is a common occurrence that many mandated policies are rarely reviewed, and often become outdated. One of the best instances of this could be depicted by the modern school year. The school year was optimized for a different time, and as such, needs to be changed. The change to an all year school would allow for improved learning, greater knowledge, and an increased number of breaks throughout the school year. The need for change in the school calendar is very crucial, and be beneficial for multiple purposes.…
