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.…

Katie, a straight A student, works her hardest to keep her grades up even with a hectic schedule. Katie stays up hours studying following a draining soccer practice until six, she makes it her priority to always finish her homework. After it seems like a few moments her alarm sounds at six a.m. Why should Katie and others be punished just to catch the early bus at seven? She uses her time wisely but still sleeps seems to be her last priority. What should be students priority be? Their health or their grades? The well-being of students should be the society's concern rather than thinking about the mandatory seven hour school days students must attend weekly.…
The President's Council launched a physical activity outreach initiative highlighting the physical and cognitive benefits of regular activity for youth (Physical Activity Initiative 2017). The initiatives are broken into age groups and recommendations including children and adolescents (6-17 years old) who should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity daily and adults (18-64 years old), two and a half hours (150 minutes) each week. The activity suggestions also include utilizing aerobic and anaerobic exercises with bone strengthen…

While this is a concern to a lot of high schools and to a lot of athletes in high school, the schools that have implemented a later start time have seen few problems in after school activities (¨Eight Major Obstacles to Delaying School Start Times¨). Schools will reschedule the practices, allow practice to run a little later than normal, and match times are changed to meet the student's needs (¨Eight Major Obstacles to Delaying School Start Times¨). Students who get more sleep are more likely able to finish their homework early, allowing time for after school activities (¨Eight Major Obstacles to Delaying School Start…
Teenagers are often given a bad reputation because they are seen as irritable, uncooperative, and irresponsible. Adults tend to complain about their children never waking up on time, but little do they know that their adolescent children have different sleeping patterns that enables them to stay up late, and arise late. High school students experience enough stress considering their homework load, and they also suffer the hardships of waking up remarkably early in the morning for school. Be that as it may, adolescents still have to discern how to wake up early to be prepared for adulthood, but at this moment, their bodies are not primed for the early mornings such as adults are. Contrary to the current law, schools should begin subsequently to the prevailing early mornings because the untimely school starts result in negative health effects, increased safety risks, and poor academic performance.…
In spite of this, students who participate in sports, music groups or other organizations typically meet for several hours after school. For instance, if the times change they will have to be pushed back later in the day. However the amount of time spent at school and an organization is still the same amount of time regardless of the start times. Starting school earlier means that parents don’t get to see their children as often because of work times. On the other hand, their parents might be able to see their children more often in the afternoon or in the morning depending on their work times.…
Imagine going to school all year and having 60 days in school and 20 days off after those 60 days of school. This would be going on all year long until 180 days of school are up. Year-round schooling should not be something that is allowed because there may not be time for vacations because of the year-round school schedules, Year-round schooling does not help kids academically, And lastly because year-round schooling does not benefit the students and makes them do worse on test.…
One of the reasons we think the school start time should stay the same is because it will make the time commitment of participating in after school activities more difficult to manage. All of us, like many other students, participate in after school activities. A later school start time will mean that school activities will start later and run even later than they do now. The later in the day it gets, the less energy we have to give 100% effort mentally. We will also be more physically tired which means if…
Current students are becoming fatter, slower, and less motivated than past students. Many of these young people would prefer to be sitting passively in front of the television rather than to do something physically active. Most students believe they do not have sufficient time, opportunity or guidance to participate in physical activities. The ideal place in which students would be able to find adequate time, opportunity and guidance are in the schools themselves.…
The time is 7:05. You know your alarm is about to go off. All of a sudden your stomach sinks. You forgot to do your three pages of algebra homework. This is a feeling all too familiar for the students of East Jordan Middle High School. This is due to the poor scheduling job. With a 7 hour schedule students are overwhelmed with ideas and thoughts in their head, and they cannot easily transition so quickly from one idea to the next. They also have trouble remembering their homework. With a 6 hour school schedule, it will fix this problem.The school could switch to a 6 hour schedule by eliminating one class from the schedule completely. Students would only have 6 classes not seven. East Jordan Middle High School must switch to a 6 hour class schedule…
To clarify, there would be no interruptions with a person's free time of non scholastic activities. An illustration would be having to work overtime and not get to spend your own time. Many students are involved in extracurricular activities such as sports, clubs, and participate in other organizations. Extra hours of school in the morning would take up hours in the afternoon making the capability to attend these events difficult. There would also be no need to make up any extra days, which takes up more time. Interactions with after school activities may affect one’s image, stress level, and…
