"Should There Be A Later Starting Time For The School Day?"

Great American Novelist Edgar Watson Howe once said, "There is only one thing people like that is good for them; a good night's sleep". "Studies show ... that teenagers on average get less than the 8 ½ to 9 ¼ hours of sleep they need to stay alert in class" (Viadero 11). Everyone needs a good night sleep but the day must start early to teach children the responsibility of getting up early to go …

…that we are having with the start time of school are that students are getting bad grades, students are developing health problems, along with attendance and behavior have been poor. Sleep is the only thing that can improve these issues. Students can not get the sleep they need because the start time of school is so early. So give the students something that good for them and something they like in a good nights sleep.
