\u00a0 \u00a0Who would want more sleep? Maybe all of the students that are not getting close to any sleep for school. A lot of people think that waking up at 7 a.m. is a little too early for most kids. Some teachers think that this would cause most students to get bad grades and that they will not be focused, but many people still believe that waking up early will actually help your brain, and can help you learn much faster.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0First of all, schools should start a little later than 7 a.m. Schools should all start \u00a0at least an hour later because not getting enough sleep can affect you. According to Sleepfoundation.org, Not getting enough sleep can limit your ability to listen, can lead to you forgetting important information such as someones name, or even forgetting your homework at home. Another bad thing is that not enough sleep can lead to aggressive or inappropriate behavior such as yelling at your friend for asking you for some help with something. This is why schools should start later, as all of these can lead to failure in school.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Ali Elzaghir, an 8th Grader at Unis Middle School said what he thinks about schools starting too early. \u201cWaking up early for schools always makes me very tired and unfocused.” He also said, “I believe most of my grades are dropping because I’m not focused, and so I can’t pay attention. I think school should start one hour later every day.\u201d \u00a0<\/span>Ali Kamal, a 9th grader at Fordson High School said, \u201cI think if school didn\u2019t start so early I could be doing so much better in my classes. I even think I could probably get all my grades to an A.” Kamal adds, “I think I am always too tired to focus and so I can\u2019t really focus at all when I am tired.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0However, some teachers thought that waking up early for school was a bad idea. Summer Abdallah, a teacher at Lowery Middle school, said, \u201cI think students are not being affected at all. I think that students are being helped by waking up early, as many studies have shown that waking up early can help the brain memorize things much faster.\u201d Fatme Faraj, the principal at Maples Elementary School, said, \u201cI think that students will benefit from waking up early and they will get used to waking up early in high school.” she adds, “I think waking up early can also help students focus a lot better, and improve their grades.\u201d<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0To conclude, there are many reasons schools should start a little later. A lot of people argue that school is starting too early, while others say school is starting at a perfect time. Due to recent studies waking up too early has been proven to affect you both positively and negatively.<\/span><\/p>\n
