Should School Start Later?

Students believe that schools should start later because. It would be more helpful for teenagers who have to go to school really early make teens feel like walking zombies.

Eastside student Ashley believes “school should start later because not everyone gets enough sleep.” Most teenagers don’t fall asleep in till around 11:00 pm. Meaning that most teenagers get 5 to 7 hours of sleep when they should be getting 8 to 9 hours of sleep. when teenagers don’t get a good amount of sleep can they are more likely to have obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

Eastside student Samantha Valencia says “I don’t think everyone is even fully awake at 7:30 in the morning, it’s too early and lots of students are too tired to work and concentrate the first period.” Meaning most teenagers are like walking zombies in the morning because they're not fully awake to be learning new thing.

School should start at a later so that teenagers can be more focused on what they need to work on and they can have a better understanding of what they working on.
