Author’s note: I strongly believe that school should start later for many types of reasons.
There are many explanations why school should start later but still end at 2:45pm. I know I’m not the only one that wants this. Many kids would think they could sleep in then, even though they still have school in the morning. That would be great! I know I would like it. But would you too?
First of all I think kids then wouldn’t be tired during their classes. If kids got more sleep during the night then they could be more interactive during class. The only bad thing about this is kids might not go to bed at the same time. They might think of it as “oh school is starting later so now I can stay up later at night.” I know some kids already stay up late and you can tell when they do. They usually sit in class and stare, or rest their head on their arms and desk, and on rare occasion some kids might even fall asleep.
Second, kids would stay more focused rather than spacing out during class. Teachers can tell when kids are tired because they usually will just stare at the ground or out the window. Some teachers know students more than others do. So let’s say that I am a student that is always happy and loud and interactive in Social Studies. And I have a ton of homework and sports after school and I don’t get to bed until 11:00pm. I would be very tired since I wake up at 5:30am. My guess would be that I would be quiet and not interactive during class. Also, my teacher would notice that I’m not really into class.
Even though, students are in after school sports and clubs they would have more energy if they got more sleep. But then again that brings us back to not knowing what time kids would go to bed, saying that school would start later. Some kids have enough energy for after school sports but once Thursday and Friday come around I get really tired and it’s hard for me to focus. But that’s just me.
As you just read, there are many reasons why school should start later but end at the same time as it does now. I know that some people would think that school should just stay the way it is because then they would get to see their friends longer. But in my opinion I think that school should start later because once Friday comes around I am so tired I can usually barely stay awake in my classes. Consider it and think of how many more kids would be happy and more awake in their classes.
