Schools should have later start times
April 18, 2018458 Views
Do you ever get tired of waking up so early? Schools should have later start times. Many people do not get enough sleep. Some kids and teenagers need all the time they can get to prepare for the day. Also, some families like to make a big enough breakfast for their kids so that they are not getting hungry during the day.
Schools should have later starting times due to people needing more sleep. Some kids get so tired that they fall asleep in class and end up getting in trouble. Also, kids have a hard time even getting out of bed because they have to wake up so early. Getting more sleep will help kids with their participation and focus during school.
In the mornings some people take a long time to get ready. If people can wake up later, they might have more time to get ready. Also, some kids like to shower in the morning and that can take up a lot of time. You might think that you should just wake up earlier, but then you are going to be super tired. Kids like me need time to pick out my outfit for the day and also, they need time to do their hair. If we get later starting times, we might have time to do it all.
Some kids get so tired that they fall asleep in class and end up getting in trouble.
In the morning most kids like to eat breakfast. Some kids have to wake up early and once they’re done getting ready, they look at the time and see that they don’t have time to eat breakfast. If schools start later, kids won’t be so tired and they will have time to eat breakfast. Families sometimes eat big breakfasts like pancakes and eggs, but some do not get that much time to make it. I know that they have breakfast at some schools, but some kids want to eat with their family. The breakfasts at schools do not have many choices, but if you are at home, you can pick whatever you want to eat. If schools start later, maybe students will finally have all the time we need in the morning.
When it comes to school, many people have different thoughts. Some think schools start too early and some think waking up at 6:00 am or 7:00 am is not a bad thing. If schools start later, some kids will not make it if they play sports. If the school gets out at 4:30 pm and sports stat at 4:45 pm, you are probably going to be late. However schools should start later because people need more sleep, they need more time, and people need time to eat their breakfast and get the full 8 hours of sleep.

I think it is so true that schools should start later in the mornings, kids can learn better,students and teachers get to sleep in, and we have more time to get ready for school. This artical was great and it was a lot of help for my school progect

I agree would you really want school to end later when you could just go to bed later?

I really don’t think we should have a later start time. School would end later which means less time after school before it gets dark. If you really want to get more sleep or have more time to eat breakfast you can change your schedule a little bit which is so much easier.

I kinda agree with this article it is hard for some students to wake while they were sleeping . I believe that if school did start later times students would be getting more sleep.

This is so true. I’m pretty tired in the morning, and this sometimes affects my learning. I wish we had the same times as Elementary kids!

I love the idea but if school starts later students will want to go to bed later and wake up later, students still might have trouble waking up and getting ready even if school starts later.

I like the idea of waking up latter, but the two benefits I think are #1 you have enough time to relax and get what you need to get done when you get home from school, two I think waking up early is philosophical when you think about it, how would we appreciate waking up on our own if we never knew what it felt like to wake up early?

Also, I’m not able to spend time with my siblings because their school doesn’t start until 9. My mom is mostly still sleeping when I get ready so I have to make my own breakfast or get school lunch. Every day I am grabbing my stuff and running out the door because i don’t have enough time even though I wake up at about 5:45. I’m also yawning every two minutes because I get like 8 hours of sleep. That is probably enough for a normal student but we have a thing that runs in our family where it takes more sleep to feel even somewhat awake. It is also against my religion to drink coffee, so I cant depend on that either.

8 is more than enough for a teenager,suck it up

bruh as a teenager myself I can tell you that every time I get less than 8 hours of sleep I fall asleep in class, I can’t concentrate, and I am a literally Satan’s spawn. I never get to actually spend time with my family cause I’m so tired and I still have homework. So if you just want us to suck it up why don’t you try wakening up at 6 or 5 and then you can tell us to suck it up.
