Why should we have school start later?
Students start learning at 8:00, which is not good for learning because of 2 reasons: starting school before 8:30 was not meaningful, our brain is better at memorizing things after 8:30. The second reason is we didn’t have enough sleep. To solve these problem, we need to immediately tell the government to have school start later.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have research about how long should student have school. It says that it is better to start school after 8:30. They also research about each country’s school time. Most countries start school after 8:30. Average 9:00. Only the countries in Asia start school before 8:30. According to this report, if students start school after 8:30, they can learn better.
Also another reason for school to start later is we don’t have enough time to sleep. If school started later, we could sleep more. I send a form to all sixth graders in KAS, and I found out that most people don’t have enough sleep. Some people say that 8:00 is not too early for school, but most of them said they don’t have enough sleep though.
This is a chart of student in KAS grade 6:
I think it is because school started too early so people don’t have enough sleep
First, if you want to have a healthier body, sleeping longer is a good idea. Sleeping longer help your body because we need rest. When you sleep your brain will also sleep. Are you feeling tired? Go to sleep! Second, sleeping longer can let you be smarter.
Another way to say is smart people have enough sleep. According to a professor’s lab, having more sleep student have better score and the having less sleep student have worse score.
According to all the researches and datas, I think sleeping and having class start later is really important. If you want to get a better score, sleep longer; if you want to remember more things teacher teach, go to school after 8:30!!
