Should School Start Later in the Day?
Have you ever struggled to wake up for school in the morning? Well, guess what? I have, and I’m not the only one! That’s why I believe school should start later in the day.
One reason schools should start later is because it’s hard for kids to get enough sleep. Did you know that most teenagers need about 9 hours of sleep at night? That’s right! But with school starting so early, it’s really tough to get enough shut-eye. We all know that sleep is super important for our brains and bodies to work the best they can. When we’re sleep-deprived, we can’t concentrate well in class and we feel tired and grumpy all day long. That’s no fun at all!
Another reason to start school later is because it helps students perform better in school. Imagine this: you’re sitting in class first thing in the morning, and you can’t even keep your eyes open! It’s hard to learn when your brain is half-asleep. But if school started later, we would be more awake and ready to learn. Plus, we would have more energy throughout the day to participate in class and do our best on tests and assignments.
Now, some people might argue that starting school later would mess up our schedules. They think it would be harder to do after-school activities or have time for homework. But guess what? If school started later, we would actually have more time after school to do all those things! We could still have time for sports, clubs, and spending time with our friends. And we could definitely get our homework done, because we wouldn’t feel so exhausted.
In conclusion, I think starting school later in the day is a great idea. It would give us more sleep, help us perform better in school, and make our days more enjoyable overall. So, let’s speak up and try to make this change! We deserve our beauty rest, don’t you agree?
