Research shows that not sleeping enough can lead to lower grades and negative moods. Because of this, some places have now encouraged schools to start later. Other places think early starts help busy families. We asked four students what they think.
Schools should start later. When you’re in school, usually between the ages of 4 and 22, your brain is not yet fully developed. You need more sleep to stay healthy and learn well. — Alice, 9I love sleep, but sleep isn’t everything. Many students have after-school activities. A later start time means later end of school day. It would reduce the time they have for these activities. I play volleyball and join the chess club. I couldn’t imagine giving these up for a few more hours of sleep. So I believe school should not start later in the day. — Anna, 12
School should start later in the day. Kids need over 9 hours of sleep every night — even more when sick. Some say “Just go to bed earlier!” But schools give too much homework, so we stay up late finishing it. Mornings are busy too! If we rush, we might forget homework or books. — David, 9
Later starts sound nice, but school would end later too. Then there’s less time for sports, clubs, or hobbies. These activities teach students social skills. Also, waking up early is good! It gives you energy and helps you do more in the morning. — Tom,11
