As a sports star, I have many complaints about school starting later. If the school started later, than we would have less time for practice, and we would have to stay later for practice, delaying homework and eating time. Practice could end anywhere from 4:30 to 6:30, then athletes would get home/go to bed late.

Students are supposed to be having 60 minutes of exercise every day, but with the new times they would have even LESS time to go outside and get the right amount of exercise so they can be healthy. Health experts have also proven that students need both the right amount of exercise and sleep.

“If school ends later, students will have less time

to use the library, among many other community

resources.” Says sleepfoundation..org

Teens are among those least likely to get enough sleep; while they need on average 9 1/4 hours of sleep per night for optimal performance, health and brain development, teens average fewer than 7 hours per school night". Says the National sleep foundation.

It can be bad to have a earlier school time and can also wake up early to because the person might drive to school and they might crash because of the loss of focus and to the right amount of sleep that kids need so if we go in earlier then there may be problems.It could cause sleep deprivation and may cause teens to lose control of their bodies and fall asleep during school hours. It can cause procrastination. Early risers may not have time to do homework orstay after school because they didn’t get the right amount of sleep. If people that are early risers have to go to sleep earlier than usual. Early risers usually go to sleep earlier than others, and after school they may and may not watch their younger brothers or sisters. Early risers have to find another time to wake up later so then they make it on time for school, they also might still wake up at the same time as when they did before school started later this is because your head is used to waking up at a certain time. It causes problems to teens who help watch their siblings after school which causes a problem because they have homework and then watching their siblings. The parents schedule can be affected because they have to be at school on a certain time and they can’t get their kids to school if it’s putting them on the bus or getting driven to school.

“early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise”

I WANT TO STILL GET HOME FROM SCHOOL BEFORE THE YOUNGER KIDS GET HOME SO I CAN BABYSIT

THE YOUNGER KIDS CAN’T BE LEFT ALONE AT HOME

At some points it can be bad or very bad. It can effect my job greatly to the point that i can lose my job. By missing work and not having time to do my homework or sleep. Because later school start moves the time to get out of school thus I get to work later.

We would get home earlier.

Sports end earlier.

After-school will end earlier.

More time to do homework.
