Once children are 4 years old they usually start school the September after their fourth birthday, though they are not legally compelled to attend until their fifth birthday.…
There are some problems with school starting so early. Kids are way too tired to focus in the first several periods. Kids get off task and sometimes kids fall asleep. Kids start goofing off, laying their head on the desk, and they aren’t listening to the teacher. Students won’t produce work when they’re tired. Starting school early just causes more problems for the teachers.…
Students stay up late working on homework, then are tired when they have to wake up. "Teens need at least 8.5 hours of sleep daily, and most teens don't get that". Stated the author Justin Oneil in the scope article Should School Start Later School starting later would allow more time to sleep, witch leads to better grades, and students that function quicker and would have less work later. Also not so many people would be late to school. I propose we start school just a little bit later. It would really help with our overall performance in schools.…
Most children in school that are board are under achievers because they are not hands on in school and very hyper, the teacher just expects the student to understand the work. I also think that parent need to put there kids in more sports and they are just way to hyper all the time and when it comes downs to do work they can not stay still and get board.…
If you had the choice, would you choose to sleep or go to school? Wouldn’t you want school to start later so you could get your nine hours? Well, it’s not as ideal as it seems. For the past few years, the Littleton Public Schools district, along with other school districts around the country, discussed the idea of the change of school start and end times. For the most part of this school year, the district has started to ask parents and students for their opinions and to come up with different solutions that will appeal to everyone. One of the biggest reasons that the district would need to change the times befalls the lack of sleep that students receive. Pamela McKeever, the leader of a study of adolescent sleep said that, "...research explains…
Another reason schools should start later is so kids can eat breakfast. If kids don't get their breakfast they might not do good in school. They also will have to wait till lunch to eat and if they don't have money they wont be able to eat.…
Firstly, schools should not start later because according to Justin O'Neill he says ,“....Many parents would no longer have time before work to drive their kids to school” (21). This obviously proves that parents would have difficult times rearranging work. Parents will most likely have trouble with their bosses. They would also have trouble taking their kids to school. This is why schools shouldn’t start…
Starting school later for students would improve overall health, boost academic performance and decrease the number of safety risks. Lack of sleep causes psychological and physical issues.…
In my school, we only have two days where we go outside for a recess. On a weekly basis, students lose their recess and end up sitting down watching the others play. Schools across the United States have taken away recess as a punishment for those who have misbehaved or haven’t finished their work. This punishment needs to abolished because according to the American Pediatric Association every student requires 15 - 20 minutes of outside time. Students who lose their recess are the ones who need it the most because recess provides a break for students so that they may refill their depleted self-control reserve, develop crucial social and communication skills, and enhance their memory and cognitive skills.…
In the past and even now, people have been discussing if the State of Florida should raise the age for students in school. Students should stay in school until 18 for two reasons. One reason is because they will get a higher education. Another reason is because they will get a better job and income. On the opposing side, some people argue that students should not stay in school until they're 18 because classroom issues arise from these students. However, there are many more significant reasons for students should stay in school until 18.…
The sky is the limit for children. The benefits of children attending full day kindergarten are far greater than those children that attend half day. Some parents and educators disagree; they say that children should not be forced into their educational career so young. Whether for or against full-day kindergarten, the common goal for all parents is the well being for each individual child. Every child has different needs and capabilities. Parents have to make an informed decision on full day or half day kindergarten. That decision can be a difficult one. Ultimately that decision is the starting point for the next twelve or more years of education for these young children. Connecticut does not have a law mandating all towns have full day kindergarten. The budget process has to make full day kindergarten a priority. The curriculum for kindergarten is limited during half day sessions for children. Because of the time limitations during half day, these children are getting significant amounts of homework to bring home. Before and aftercare is needed due to the short school day for the half day kindergartners, causing parents to pay for childcare. The most important point is that children’s cognitive learning is so crucial at age five. They can absorb so much information at a kindergarten level. Taking advantage of that will give them the best opportunities for the educational career and give them a head start.…
According to the sleepfoundation.org, sleeping is just as important as a diet and exercise. If we go to school later, we would have many benefits. People have different ranges of time that they sleep, and each will be beneficial throughout the day. During the life of students, they usually would be more sleep deprived, due to their schoolwork and cellphones. Many students would likely appreciate if school starts later in the morning. There would be many benefits that students would receive if school would start later, but there are three very important benefits that not only help them in school, but also throughout their life. The three very important beneficial aspects that students would receive are better learning capabilities, having a positive attitude, and improved cognitive skills…
I believe that school is not important. My proposal goes out to all the parents and government officials in Tallahassee who designed the school system. Millions of teenagers and kids spend 5 days a week attending school where they have to sit around in class, detesting those Mondays and wasting their time away. Of course there are going to be students who want learn and accelerate in school but there are going to be plenty of them who believe school isn’t necessary. K- 8 are important to me and I feel like those are essential years every person should go through. However, I don’t believe it is right for teenagers to be required to go to school after 8th grade. Many kids don’t need the excess educational curriculum. It is irrelevant as well…
Do you Remember when the new school year always started at the end of August . I think that it will be better if we Start school in mid August so children will have more time to study for test so children get to get out early . Additionally if we start earlier then, we will not have to do homework in June. Lastly, our breaks can be longer. I believe starting school early will help students be better students.…
Eco-Schools is a fundamental initiative which encourages young people to engage in their environment by allowing them the opportunity to actively protect it. It starts in the classroom where it expands to the school and eventually change in the community at large. Through this programme, young people experience a sense of achievement at being able to have the experience in the environmental management policies of their schools. Young people need the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that will enable them to participate as full members of a global society. As global citizens, they need to consider rights and responsibilities and the role of citizens in a democratic society.…
