School should proceed in starting earlier, since according to multiple studies, high school athletics are very important to countless students from all age levels, and starting school later in the day will decrease the amount of time one can do sports, after the school day has ended. In other words, there will be not enough spare time for after school activities and anything aside from school tasks, by the time the students arrive home. Considering, that most students use public transportation.The last thing the students want is spending eight hours of their day during school and arriving home completing assignments and going to sleep.It becomes difficult to schedule sports practice and extra-curricular activities.It is difficult to squeeze academic schedules, sports events and extra-curricular activities into available daytime hours if schools started late

It has been found that starting school later can result in complication among the family's daily life routine. Since, Most families have a highly coordinated schedule worked out to balance the many activities of each of its members.That can be the case because, in most cases the parents work, and the child's school, begins in the same block of hour. Therefore, if the school district decides to begin school at a later time, transportation will be a great challenge, if the parent drops the child off to school while driving off to work, this entire routine will then have to be modified. This means willing to actually pay transportation fees on a regular basis, both to get and to leave school, simply for the reason of attending school a few hours later than the original mandatory time .

In fact attending school simply a few hours later, will not only create complication among the students life with their family and go in the way of their daily athletic routine, or any routine by this point. It will also affect the people surrounding them, specifically the entire school staff. Including teachers, directors, principals, athletic instructors, etc. Since, some people worry that a later start time as well as a later release time will often lead to teachers reducing the time spent with their families. According to studies, an average healthy family member needs to sit together in meals, and talk more about their life, and doing simple activities such as doing household chores together. And a later release date will eliminate all these factors for both teachers and parents, which can cause more harm than good, eventually, even lead to instability in the household. This means eliminating all these factors, simply just to attend school a few hours earlier.

Actually school should be scheduled to best accomodate the needs of working parents who have to drop off those kids at either school or day care. Going late to work, leaving early from work, missing work, all are far bigger impacts to a family's success than whether or not kids get to sleep late or not.
We have two infants in daycare right now. Opens 7:30, closes 5:30. Technically I should work 8:00-5:00. If I drop the kids right when it opens I'm still often 10-15 minutes late to work because of the challenge of traffic when commuting in a big city. And if I'm to pick them up I have to leave work at 4:00 instead of 5:00 because evening rush hour traffic increases exponentially by the minute and if I left at 5:00 I wouldn't make it there by the time they close. Luckily I have understanding management who accomodate these needs.
But my point of that story is anytime schools mess around with their hours or days it has a domino effect on all the adults who have a hand in taking care of those kids. Mess with it too much and people start to lose their jobs, or they simply get stuck in more traffic than makes sense, or one parent literally has to give up working just to bridge the time gaps and transport gaps to make everyone's lives work.
And before you say no, it's really about what the kids need and want, keep in mind most kids don't like sitting in traffic, being poor, waiting a long time for their dinner to be made, getting left stranded, etc. It's in the best interest of kids to make their parents' lives a little easier, not the other way around. Heck there are kids who get dumped in military or bording school and they find a way to survive and thrive. As a kid really all you have to do is learn how to play by the rules and do your homework. You can do that whether you start early or late. The parents who have to pay for it all and get you there and back are the ones who need to be considered first. As long as they're taking you to a quality school you should just be grateful that they're doing it for you.

Lastly, starting school earlier doesn't really have a great impact on the student's success, academically. According to multiple researches, it has been shown that early risers report that actually waking up early gives them quiet time in the morning for organization, to arrange all their plans out for the day. Secondly, this time can be valuably spent on goal setting and planning out their days and assignments ahead of time or weeks ahead. It has also been found that actually their is a great correlation between the time the students get up in the morning, and the grades they achieve. According to a study conducted in Texas university,
Students who happen to wake up earlier had an GPA score of 3.5. However, the students who wake up later achieve on average a GPA of 2.5.

Even if the students will have more time to do their after school activities since the wake up earlier for school it does not mean that they will do the activity or even their participation to the best of their abilities. It is important for schools to start later if they want their students to complete their assignments and do well on tests as best as they can. Researchers have found that starting the day at school later will increase attendance and test scores and participates better at school since they could be more awake and ready to learn. The research also shows that tardiness will decrease as well as symptoms of depression because they will have more time to get ready for school.

Even though school performance is a very important subject that should be taken on consideration when thinking about what time is the perfect time for schools to start, the students health and well being should be also taken in consideration. Not only does sleep deprivation has an effect on the function of the human body but lack of sleep can also cause other problems like obesity, eating disorders, heart problems, metabolic disorders and athletic injuries. If we pay attention on the problem of eating disorders it is important to see that only 36% of high school students eat breakfast which could not only affect their health but also school performance because breakfast is a very important meal.

Another important aspect we should be looking at is the safety of the students. Studies have shown that not having enough sleep could increase the risk of being in a car crash. A survey has been done to show that 1 in every 7 people from ages 16-24 have fallen asleep behind the wheel. The studies not only suggest that not enough sleep doesn't only cause drowsiness but it also affects the driver's judgment.

I have to agree that people who wake up early are usually more organized with their plans because that means they have more time to plan out their day. But studies have shown that waking up earlier can lead to people having a change in their mood. Many different experiments have shown that people who usually don't get enough sleep or waking up early in the morning, usually start their day feeling irritable, and angry. Those people might get frustrated and annoyed easily by people or tasks. Since people's mood is about the same as the one they began within the morning it is important for people to start their day in happy mood so they could be as productive as they can.

Yes because students need sleep and when school starts later, students will be able to have enough sleep and the students will do better because studies says that when students get enough sleep, they do better on test, classwork, homework, etc. Also, students are not likely to get into a car crash when they get enough sleep. For those reasons, I think that school should start later.

Yes because students need sleep and when school starts later, students will be able to have enough sleep and the students will do better because studies says that when students get enough sleep, they do better on test, classwork, homework, etc. Also, students are not likely to get into a car crash when they get enough sleep. For those reasons, I think that school should start later.

School should proceed in starting earlier, since according to multiple studies, high school athletics are very important to countless students from all age levels, and starting school later in the day will decrease the amount of time one can do sports, after the school day has ended. In other words, there will be not enough spare time for after school activities and anything aside from school tasks, by the time the students arrive home. Considering, that most students use public transportation.The last thing the students want is spending eight hours of their day during school and arriving home completing assignments and going to sleep.It becomes difficult to schedule sports practice and extra-curricular activities.It is difficult to squeeze academic schedules, sports events and extra-curricular activities into available daytime hours if schools started late

It has been found that starting school later can result in complication among the family's daily life routine. Since, Most families have a highly coordinated schedule worked out to balance the many activities of each of its members.That can be the case because, in most cases the parents work, and the child's school, begins in the same block of hour. Therefore, if the school district decides to begin school at a later time, transportation will be a great challenge, if the parent drops the child off to school while driving off to work, this entire routine will then have to be modified. This means willing to actually pay transportation fees on a regular basis, both to get and to leave school, simply for the reason of attending school a few hours later than the original mandatory time .

In fact attending school simply a few hours later, will not only create complication among the students life with their family and go in the way of their daily athletic routine, or any routine by this point. It will also affect the people surrounding them, specifically the entire school staff. Including teachers, directors, principals, athletic instructors, etc. Since, some people worry that a later start time as well as a later release time will often lead to teachers reducing the time spent with their families. According to studies, an average healthy family member needs to sit together in meals, and talk more about their life, and doing simple activities such as doing household chores together. And a later release date will eliminate all these factors for both teachers and parents, which can cause more harm than good, eventually, even lead to instability in the household. This means eliminating all these factors, simply just to attend school a few hours earlier.

Actually school should be scheduled to best accomodate the needs of working parents who have to drop off those kids at either school or day care. Going late to work, leaving early from work, missing work, all are far bigger impacts to a family's success than whether or not kids get to sleep late or not.
We have two infants in daycare right now. Opens 7:30, closes 5:30. Technically I should work 8:00-5:00. If I drop the kids right when it opens I'm still often 10-15 minutes late to work because of the challenge of traffic when commuting in a big city. And if I'm to pick them up I have to leave work at 4:00 instead of 5:00 because evening rush hour traffic increases exponentially by the minute and if I left at 5:00 I wouldn't make it there by the time they close. Luckily I have understanding management who accomodate these needs.
But my point of that story is anytime schools mess around with their hours or days it has a domino effect on all the adults who have a hand in taking care of those kids. Mess with it too much and people start to lose their jobs, or they simply get stuck in more traffic than makes sense, or one parent literally has to give up working just to bridge the time gaps and transport gaps to make everyone's lives work.
And before you say no, it's really about what the kids need and want, keep in mind most kids don't like sitting in traffic, being poor, waiting a long time for their dinner to be made, getting left stranded, etc. It's in the best interest of kids to make their parents' lives a little easier, not the other way around. Heck there are kids who get dumped in military or bording school and they find a way to survive and thrive. As a kid really all you have to do is learn how to play by the rules and do your homework. You can do that whether you start early or late. The parents who have to pay for it all and get you there and back are the ones who need to be considered first. As long as they're taking you to a quality school you should just be grateful that they're doing it for you.

Lastly, starting school earlier doesn't really have a great impact on the student's success, academically. According to multiple researches, it has been shown that early risers report that actually waking up early gives them quiet time in the morning for organization, to arrange all their plans out for the day. Secondly, this time can be valuably spent on goal setting and planning out their days and assignments ahead of time or weeks ahead. It has also been found that actually their is a great correlation between the time the students get up in the morning, and the grades they achieve. According to a study conducted in Texas university,
Students who happen to wake up earlier had an GPA score of 3.5. However, the students who wake up later achieve on average a GPA of 2.5.

Even if the students will have more time to do their after school activities since the wake up earlier for school it does not mean that they will do the activity or even their participation to the best of their abilities. It is important for schools to start later if they want their students to complete their assignments and do well on tests as best as they can. Researchers have found that starting the day at school later will increase attendance and test scores and participates better at school since they could be more awake and ready to learn. The research also shows that tardiness will decrease as well as symptoms of depression because they will have more time to get ready for school.

Even though school performance is a very important subject that should be taken on consideration when thinking about what time is the perfect time for schools to start, the students health and well being should be also taken in consideration. Not only does sleep deprivation has an effect on the function of the human body but lack of sleep can also cause other problems like obesity, eating disorders, heart problems, metabolic disorders and athletic injuries. If we pay attention on the problem of eating disorders it is important to see that only 36% of high school students eat breakfast which could not only affect their health but also school performance because breakfast is a very important meal.

Another important aspect we should be looking at is the safety of the students. Studies have shown that not having enough sleep could increase the risk of being in a car crash. A survey has been done to show that 1 in every 7 people from ages 16-24 have fallen asleep behind the wheel. The studies not only suggest that not enough sleep doesn't only cause drowsiness but it also affects the driver's judgment.

I have to agree that people who wake up early are usually more organized with their plans because that means they have more time to plan out their day. But studies have shown that waking up earlier can lead to people having a change in their mood. Many different experiments have shown that people who usually don't get enough sleep or waking up early in the morning, usually start their day feeling irritable, and angry. Those people might get frustrated and annoyed easily by people or tasks. Since people's mood is about the same as the one they began within the morning it is important for people to start their day in happy mood so they could be as productive as they can.
