Should school start later? by Sonya Smith

School shouldn't because if it does my school schedule will be messed up and its already perfectly fine now.

2025-01-31 15:23:38 UTC

I don't think so because I am already use to waking up at a certain time and doing everything on a schedule.

Kokujin

Yes, because teens are usually more ready to learn, and teens brains work better and learn more when it is later in the day.

I think it should start later. If it does we could get more sleep and get all of the sleep we need because some people might have a lot of homework.

Gideon Jensen

2025-01-31 15:24:56 UTC

yes? who wants to wake up at 5:00 am? who cares about a consistent schedule, that gets super boring. I think I would love it because I could sleep in for a while, as I usually only get like, 3 hours of sleep?

I think school should start later to better prepare kids and teens and so they have a better mid set and learn better instead of being tired but if school is later kids tiredness would decrease if school started later.

2025-01-31 15:27:02 UTC

I think that school should start later because sleep is very important for teens so that we can learn better. I think that a lot of people would be able to perform better at school if they got more sleep.

I believe schools should start later due to the importance of sleep. Sleep is essential; I would prefer to go to school later because, by the end of the day, I'm not tired. This way, I can fall asleep easier because I woulda worked later in the day.

Evan lewis

2025-01-31 15:27:44 UTC

yes because like she said we are messing up with our sleep and we are not getting all the sleep we should be and we aren't waking up when our body says its time to wake up.

aidan creech

2025-01-31 15:29:55 UTC

yes. kids brains work better later in the day.

lillie haze

I don't think that schools should start later because we should learn to go to bed earlier if we have to wake up early and most jobs start at 9 so when you become an adult it is better to already be used to getting up early. Also not getting enough sleep isn't a reason to being a bad person, it is an excuse

Later start time

2025-01-31 15:32:18 UTC

I believe we should start later because of all the downsides of sleep deprivation and better academic side of a later start time

2025-02-03 01:17:33 UTC

I think waking up and starting school later is better because your brain may be more fully aware later than in the early morning. Also, kids having more sleep is more beneficial

Josh: No.

streetjo — 2025-02-03 15:09:41 UTC

I say no because I've adapted to waking up at four for school and I don't want to have to move it an hour later because of school.

Sophia

2025-02-03 15:10:21 UTC

Yes. School should start later so we can get more sleep and not be tired. We need more sleep.

Macarius

2025-02-03 15:10:26 UTC

No. I think school shouldn't start later because it would mess up my schedule and its already bad enough cause I have school

Cimone Davis

davisci3 — 2025-02-03 15:10:51 UTC

Yes , I think school should start later because I would be able to sleep in later and I could focus and learn better

Savannah Thomas

thomassa10 — 2025-02-03 15:11:13 UTC

Yes. I think school should start later because people at a certain age need more or less sleep time and at this age we need more sleep or we might be upset. Also we might have less work in the day and the people we don't like we don't have to see.

Nick Ferrell

2025-02-03 15:11:23 UTC

Yes because waking up early is very hard when you have to do it like 160-190 days a year and also school makes you even more tired

Brayden Craft

2025-02-03 15:11:46 UTC

YES bc if school started later I could play Fortnite if I wake up early and do more stuff

TREYLN EBRON

2025-02-03 15:12:22 UTC

I think school should start later because I am tired of waking up at 6 and having to get up early why can we not have night school or something so I have the whole day to my self and go to school later

Owen

2025-02-03 16:00:54 UTC

yes because you have more time to do stuff

Reina

2025-02-03 16:01:46 UTC

I think that school should start later because then it would make it easier to learn for me and then I could get more things done in the morning.

carter starling

2025-02-03 16:01:48 UTC

yes because it is hard to wake up and sometimes you might go back to sleep and you might be late for school and you would have more time to do stuff in the morning

Logan Chambliss

2025-02-03 16:01:50 UTC

Yes bc its less school and I don't have to rush to get up and ready

Tyler W

2025-02-03 16:01:56 UTC

I think it should start later because we are very tired in the morning and it would energize us more if we could sleep later and everyone would be less grumpy

Julia- naur

2025-02-03 16:02:25 UTC

For me, no. I have been waking up at around five for so long, and I don't think my brain could comprehend the change from waking up at five every morning, to maybe around nine every morning. I just couldn't adapt to it for such a big change.

Jagger Ross

2025-02-03 16:02:52 UTC

Yes because its hard to wake up early everyday and still feel tired. I don´t like it. Plus our brains have to wake up and get used to doing schoolwork every single day for like 9 months.

Spencer Mickey

2025-02-03 16:03:22 UTC

I think it should start later cause people would be less grumpy and our brains would actually be functioning

Tacie Linn Spain :3

2025-02-03 16:03:45 UTC

I believe school should start later as it is detrimental to teens education. School starting earlier means they are more tired, grumpy and not as ready to learn because of their body clock being later then when school usually starts. School being later allows teens to have the best possible timing for learning and intake information better, while school earlier is very tiring. It would be best for them to have school later as studies show they will therefore learn, communicate and feel better when at school and at home too.

Leila Taylor No

2025-02-03 16:04:15 UTC

I Say no because I get up early during the weekend and now I have a habit of it

Harrison

2025-02-03 16:04:47 UTC

yes because I don't like going to school at 8 and the later it gets the more energy I will have and I can focus on school work more because I will not be as tired

batin

2025-02-03 16:06:10 UTC

no school should not start later. if y'all are complaining about being tired and not getting enough sleep take some sleep medicine and if you don't have any get rid of you're electronics or don't use them past 8 as the blue color coming from the phone or iPad or game kills you're eyes and makes it harder for you to sleep. there are ways to stop the blue color from emiting from youre electronics. stop being lazy bum and deal with it. the more you do it the easier it becomes. its like learning how to play a game the more you play the easier it is to play. most jobs start early in the morning and you have to work till later on in the day so its basically like school but harder. why make it harder for yourself and instead think about the long run. batin perez.

Nicholas Bratcher

2025-02-03 16:06:31 UTC

I think it should start later because I be tired in the morning and don't want to get up.

Khloe Kornegay

kornegkh1 — 2025-02-03 17:11:52 UTC

Yes, because usually most people I know stay up later to get work done or for athletic practice and the more you grow up the more classes you have so it causes more stress and less sleep so i'd agree to having school start later

Raye Santiago

2025-02-03 17:13:08 UTC

School shouldn't start later, because sure we would have enough time to get ready and sleep, but for me, I wouldn't be energized after "late" school in the evening. So me personally, I would want school as it is now.

Zak Clair

2025-02-03 17:13:08 UTC

Yes, I think school should start later because teens brains are more active during later hours of the day and when teens wake up too early it has effects on your mental health.

Mason Harper ( THE GOAT)

2025-02-03 17:13:39 UTC

No because if we started later buses will have to drive in the dark and people would get tired way faster.! Plus who sleeps to 12 in the morning you my as well go to school earlier if you wake up earlier.!

Ivana Chukwu

2025-02-03 17:14:10 UTC

No. We have been waking up early just to go to school for years now, and if I start changing my sleep schedule it would be hard for me to comprehend stuff. It would cause less time in classes and less time to get work done. I also am more productive in the morning and have adapted to early schedules and activities in the morning. There are some advantages to school starting later but I mostly side with no.

Cameron Kornegay: Depends

2025-02-03 17:14:17 UTC

If school starts later, but the same hours then think to yourself. What's the difference? Over time, studies has shown even if you change hours of doing something you dread you will still get that same feeling. Also getting dropped off at night? It adds a grave safety concern, as people with not-so-good intentions would be operating at night. To answer the question, if the circumstances are that of which I've explained then the answer is..NO!

Coby Greer Jr.

2025-02-03 17:14:32 UTC

I don't believe that school hours should start later because I am concerned about how late students would get home. There are also safety issues related to driving at night. Additionally, some kids rely on school for lunch, and starting later would mean they wouldn't have that meal.

Braylen Frizzell

2025-02-03 17:14:34 UTC

yes i think school should start later because teenagers need more sleep so school starting later will make sure that everyone is up and good to start learning

rayvontae artis

2025-02-03 17:16:31 UTC

yes i think school should start later because if i get more sleep i would be more ready for school . I also would have more energy and not be drained by my last class or after school activities . Also i wake up around 7-8am by myself so if school was later i could maybe get more things done before school and before i get ready

Alyson Arredondo

2025-02-03 17:16:38 UTC

I believe classes should start later because I have more energy in the afternoon than in the morning, allowing me to focus better on school instead of feeling tired.

Tanya haibet

2025-02-03 17:16:39 UTC

No I do not think it should start later because if we start it later like at 9 or 10 then we would have to go to school till 6 or 7 which just means you spent your full day at school and I don't feel like I would like to stay in school when its dark outside and also because I get more sleepy as the day moves on so I would be sleepy in school, plus if you have athletic things then it would be pushed even more back in time so at 8 or 9 and i would be even more tired to even do anything and there is worryful things happening later in night so I think we should not have school later.

Christine K

kalapuch1_1 — 2025-02-03 17:16:59 UTC

Yes, cause in my opinion I am a person who sleeps later at night, around 1 -2 a.m. or a bit earlier. Besides the point, because of this situation, I wake up pretty late, and it gives me a hard time waking up early in the morning. But one thing that I disagree with is that waking up early does kinda get my brain started throughout the day, but I would rather wake up later.

Rory Núñez

2025-02-03 17:17:33 UTC

I dont think it should start later. If school were to start at 10AM for example, we would be leaving school during evening hours when it begins to get dark. Most of us are adapted to having to get up in the morning, and if it started later, you would still be mad that you have to go to school but just in later hours. You would also have less hours to enjoy yourself at the end of the day.

Casey Gliniak -Should School be later?-

2025-02-03 18:01:05 UTC

I think that school should be later, end earlier and last over the weekend.

My first reason, I take a ton of time to get ready in the morning and if school starts later, I also have a really busy schedule and if school starts later, I have time to do my homework in the morning without worrying about rushing to do stuff.

But, I also think that it would be harder for school sports to take place because my family eats super early and I participate in school sports during the fall, so it would result in a lot more changes.

Overall in my opinion, it would be beneficial to me if half of the year started at normal time, but the other half started a little later, or as an alternate opinion I would be fine if school lasted during the weekend but lasted from like ten to three.

2025-02-03 18:01:57 UTC

yes I think school should start later because students would have more sleep time, and we would also be more awake. this would allow for students to be less sleep deprived and I think we would benefit as a whole. ✰✰✰﷼௹ッ

Abigail taylor

2025-02-03 18:02:34 UTC

Yes, I think it should start later. I think it should start later because usually peoples brains are more active during later in the day so we can learn better and I could get a longer time to get ready and have more time to do stuff.

Catherine Franklin

2025-02-03 18:03:33 UTC

I am in the middle because I need my sleep and I like having time in the morning, but I also would not want to get home later than I already do, because I would not want to get home around 5 or 6.

Rylin Branch

2025-02-03 18:04:49 UTC

Yes, I do think we should have school start later. There are many reasons why....

First, I personally am really tired and having school early doesn't help me and my brain is foggy and cant think clearly.

Next, We can have more time to do things before school to be better prepared such as studying for tests, doing homework and missing work.

Lastly, Their attitudes would lesson as they get more sleep and there would be less behavioral issues.

Beckett A. Marston

2025-02-03 18:05:19 UTC

No. School should not start later because it will end at 5-6, which is pretty much the whole day, just for a couple more hours in bed.

Ava Leigh

2025-02-03 18:06:21 UTC

Yes I think it should start later, because I think my brain would be more focused and awake, and I have more energy in the afternoon. But, I think it should only be 30 minutes later, at 9; I don't want to get home at like 5. I think it could be overall better this way.

Nate

2025-02-03 18:06:30 UTC

Yes, we should start school later because kids need more sleep. When school begins early we are all tired and it is hard to pay attention in class. If we start later we would feel more awake and ready to learn. Also, many kids have after-school activities that make it hard to get enough rest. Starting school later could help improve our grades and make us happier. Overall a later start time would be better for everyone.

Evan Schoen

2025-02-03 18:06:31 UTC

No, I do not think schools should start later. Sleeping in later is nice, but the end of the day would probably be later than usual, meaning sports, afterschool, and other events would start later, and you would get home later. Now, if you want to sleep more, you could go to bed early, making it seem the same as waking up later. Also, most of us are pretty used to the schedule we have right now.

savannah yelverton

2025-02-03 18:06:36 UTC

yes, I think schools should start later because like most people i hate waking up early and not getting enough sleep most nights, which can lead to me having a hard time paying attention , sometimes sleeping in class, and more. I think that if school would just be a little bit later I would have a better learning experience and get the sleep i need. But at the same time, I know that many people including myself have after school activities so I dont know how that would work, but maybe just back the time up just enough to where we would still have enough time to do those things.

sparrow p.

2025-02-03 18:07:22 UTC

should school start later?!?!?

I think that school should start later because you would have more time to sleep and get ready because and by the time you get to school your brain will be fully working and functioning and the classes you have early in the morning will make more sense

Jayden Landis: Situational

2025-02-03 18:07:58 UTC

I think that the school itself should be shortened. if we shifted the school schedule forward 1-2 hours then students themselves would benefit, although extracurricular activities could conflict with other schedules. There is also the staff side of things: staff would have more time to sleep as well, but they may be burnt out by the end of the day. Buses will also have to ride late at night, which can be very hazardous in some places and around less favorable people. Most parents will not benefit at all. Their work schedules would conflict with start times and dismissal. You also have to take into account personal times after school. Students with strict bed times will barely have a few hours to themselves, they would also not be able to do much at all after school, shopping watching a game and many other things. In short NO, but a more favorable out come would be a shorter schedule

Charlotte Hoyt

2025-02-03 18:08:22 UTC

Yes, I think that school should start later because sleep helps the mind work grow while awake. Leaving late would also help because my dad works until 6 and getting out around that time would help with the process of my family. Also, if you didn't finish homework the night before you have time to finish it in the morning.

Arietta Cammarata

2025-02-03 18:08:36 UTC

Yes, I think school should start later. I think school should start later because I have a hard time getting up in the morning. Also, I feel like my brain is more stimulated later in the day and I also tend to have more energy at those times. I wouldn't mind getting home late as I am used to it due to sports.

Tyler Young SPONGEBOB

2025-02-03 18:09:19 UTC

No, I don't think so as a student who comes home late I feel like if we left later then our parents would be tired, and it would be dangerous

Ian Hart

2025-02-03 19:46:17 UTC

Yes, kids are often very tired early and more active later. Transport might be difficult but it would make learning easier.

James Corbett

2025-02-03 19:46:50 UTC

I think school should start later because it would give students more time to get ready and rest

Juan Ruiz

2025-02-03 19:46:57 UTC

I believe that school should start later. Starting school at a later time would benefit students by giving them more time to sleep, which is vital for growing teens and helpful for students.

Jack Duncan-Ernest

2025-02-03 19:47:03 UTC

Yes because if school were to start later, students could have more time to study for assignments. They could also have more time to get awake and ready for school.

Alana Davis

2025-02-03 19:48:22 UTC

No, the school already starts at 8:30. This change could disrupt parents' work schedules, ultimately leading to decreased attendance at after-school activities due to the later timing.

Davis Thorn

2025-02-03 19:48:34 UTC

I think it would be good to have it start later, but it would also be difficult for the schedules everyone has built to adapt to it, since it would require a big change to adapt.

Tyler Cao

2025-02-03 19:49:14 UTC

No because we would get out of school later. I would rather go to school early and get home early than go to school late and leave late.

Jacob Eakes

2025-02-03 19:49:47 UTC

No, school should not start later, it leaves less time with friends because if it ended at like, 5, you have like 2-3 hours before it gets dark. "Oh, but it's hard to focus early in the morning" you might be saying, but at later times students get tired and shorter curfews clash with that kind of schedule. It also could hurt older students schedules with them keeping that same waking up later mindset and could lead to being late more often at events and or jobs.

2025-02-03 19:54:27 UTC

yes, School should begin at 9 am because in the morning I feel extremely rushed and tired so I often don't have time to get everything done in the morning and then go to school unprepared and stressed. In my first class I often catch myself drifting off and tired which makes it hard for me to learn.

Andrew Thomas

2025-02-04 16:52:02 UTC

School should not start later because it would mess up schedules for things like work, athletics and sleep. If students have problems with being tired in the morning then they should try going to bed earlier to get more sleep.

r@J

karampra — 2025-02-04 17:36:10 UTC

Yes because people feel a bit lethargic waking up at 6-7. School should start around 8-11 because people wouldn't have an attitude waking up. It's a reasonable time because people have an easy time concentrating.

2025-02-04 19:20:26 UTC

i do not think school should start later because i have after school things to do. I also have a schedule and i think school starting later would mess that up.
