If the start times were to be later than 7:30, students would get more sleep, and be more awake during class. This would lead to students performing better during class. Also they would feel better about going to school because they would be more awake since they got a better night sleep.
This brings up the point that the school schedule would have to change, and extracurricular activites would be later, and then the middle and elementary schools would have to change because of the bus schedule.
I think that the benefits outweigh the cons of starting later, although students with extracurriculars would get home later, i think that performance in school would increase and students would be getting better nights sleep which can also help them feel better.
What do you think about school starting later?
I personally think that school should start later than 7:30, due to the scientific facts that adolescents in high school go to bed and wake up late while children in elementary school wake up and go to bed early. I believe that if school started later for high schools, this could make the schools academic level increase and motivated students.
ReplyDeleteIt would probably be a good idea for school to start later than 7:30 in the morning. If school did start later we would get more sleep; leading us to do better in school. The cons of sports activities and jobs being pushed back do not outweigh the benefit the extra hours of sleep would have on academic performance.
ReplyDeleteI think that the most that school should start later is 8:00, then push the ending time to 3:00. Teenager's circadian clocks are made for them to wake up late and go to sleep late. It's not just something that we do on purpose it is biological. I do not think however that pushingg back starting time too late will be that good because of the after school activities that we have and the homework that we need to fit into our schedules.
