School Should Start Later
On average in today’s society most teens don’t like going to school that early in the morning. To have to wake up so early when they only get about seven hours of sleep, to have students be coming into school at 7:30AM or maybe even earlier in some other schools, is not right. Students need to have time at night to get work done, not only schoolwork but also non-schoolwork. Needless to say, the school schedule for high school students needs to be changed and be made where they go in later. That way they get their work done and get enough sleep because without much sleep students will not be getting high grades. A health survey that the University Health Center administered showed them that one in four students say that lack of sleep has affected their academic performance in a bad way (“Sleep Rocks”). Sleep deprivation impairs students’ ability to be alert, pay attention, solve problems, cope with stress, and retain information. Academic performances on students are low due to lack of sleep. Schools should start later so students would get more sleep at home and it would prevent them from sleeping in class, so the students would have more motivation and students’ academic grades would increase. Sleep is an important part to each and every person. It helps
First, one good effect of this solution is that it would decrease the amount of students sleeping in their class. Its been a fight for years for a variety of schools around the U.S. trying to make the school starting time later in the day because most students can not get up early. Even pushing the time up by half an hour will help students get more rest every night, any amount of time helps. The change of time would even give some extra time for the teachers and other school staff to get rested up for the school day. By starting at a later time they would get more sleep and they would be able to think and concentrate throughout each subject. Ten percent of high school students are late for school at least once
