Should Schools Start Earlier or Later?
Have you ever wished that your school started earlier or later? Some schools start earlier than others. When school starts earlier than others they can either get out earlier or sometimes get out later. I think it would be better to start school earlier.
When kids have school in the morning, they sometimes like to stay up later than they are supposed to do, so when that happens they are tired during the day. Some benefits of starting school early are having the rest of the day off and spending more time with our family and friends. According to Neirad.org “With the later school start times, it can affect students’ schedules. Many students participate in extracurricular activities, such as clubs, sports, etc.” If this happens then people who have activities after school will have to change their schedules.
Some kids would prefer starting later than earlier. Some benefits of having school later are sleeping in more, not being as tired, and staying up later. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics they “Recommended that middle and high schools start at 8:30 a.m. or later to give students the opportunity to get the amount of sleep they need, but most American adolescents start school too early.”
In conclusion, I think we should start school early because we would have more time to participate in extracurricular activities.

Nice article Ty! I disagree with your opinion in your conclusion. I think school should start later. I don’t think that enough students get enough sleep at night and I feel like starting school later.

Great article Ty! I agree with your final opinion that school should start earlier. I think it gives students the opportunity to have more fun and make money when school is over. I actually am a fan of our school start time. Good topic and good story, keep up the good work!

Great article Ty, I personally am split down the middle in this argument. I would love for school to start late as far as sleep. Being an athlete also makes me want to start school earlier because that would give more time after practice to spend time at home with my family.

I agree with the author that we should start school early because I am in basketball and me personally would love to have more time after basketball to do stuff like play games and hang out with my family but normally I go home do my homework eat take a shower and then have to lay down so I don’t normally have time for games.

I agree that the school day being earlier gives more time for extracurricular activities, but I also agree with stating the day later due to sleeping.

I love your article I think it is very well written, I also love how you give your own opinion on how you think school should start earlier so we have more time with family and friends. I also agree that we should start earlier, coming from someone who does after school things I would hate to have to change my schedule around. Again I loved your article, you should write more your awesome at it!

Dear Ty Lobenthal.I think starting school earlier would be really good idea because we would have a lot of extra stuff to do in the daytime like homework or go outside and play. It would be so much better because I locked my kids with like school . I hope the passage was really fun to read to

I agree with the what the author said about having school start early. So we can get school over for the day and have more time for home work.

Dear Ty Lobenthal. Your idea of school starting earlier is a good idea for people to have enough time to spend time with their family and have enough time to do extracurricular activities. so they don’t have to change their schedules.

Starting school earlier is a lot better than later, so you can have more time to do things after school.
