School Times

What would it be like to start school at 9, rather than 7:30? It would be so helpful for students, because you get more sleep, you can eat breakfast, shower, and have more time to get ready. Why is it so important to shower, eat breakfast, sleep longer, and have generally more time in the mornings? I’ll tell you. Although starting school later is a fabulous idea, it’s really hard to change times and convince the school board.

First, it’s important to get more sleep, because when you wake up you would have no problem getting out if bed. When the average teenage student wakes up in the mornings before school, they tend to be tired and cranky and all they want to do is sleep, but if you get a few more hours of sleep than you would regularly you would feel so refreshed, and ready for the day. Getting more sleep would mean being more alert throughout the rest of the day. It’s amazing how if you don’t get enough sleep in one night how it effects your whole day. It makes you irritable, annoyed, and just rude in general, also when you don’t get enough sleep you don’t focus as well resulting in a bad grade in school in any subject.

Though getting enough sleep is very important, another really important reason why schools should start at 9 is because when you wake up earlier, you aren’t hungry, so you won’t eat breakfast. Breakfast is a really good way to start the day, and is highly recommended by parents, teachers, and other students, because it supplies you energy, more brain power, you won’t be that hungry for lunch and tests prove that when students eat breakfast, they get better scores on homework, tests, quizzes, and even physical challenges in gym class and after school sports.
Furthermore, eating breakfast is very healthy and a great way to start your day, another way to start your day is to shower. When you wake up, and take a cold/warm shower it makes you completely refreshed and ready for anything during the day, and you’re clean so it’s better when you go through your day at school, activities, sports, and even doing homework, because as weird as it sounds, showering in the morning can change your whole day. When you wake up, you don’t want to get out of bed so you can force yourself to take a cold shower, and that would really wake you up in the morning to make you briefly alert of what’s going on. How could waking up later, but still having the same amount of time to get ready make it seem like you have more time? If you wake up later, you have gotten more sleep, so you are really renewed and get things done quicker, giving you time to shower, eat breakfast, and everything else your morning consists without feeling rushed.

Trying to convince the school board that starting school later is a good idea would be hard, because everything is already set and it would just be confusing and it would be a lot of work to make it happen. Even though there are really good reasons why starting school later, there are also really good reasons why you should start school earlier. A reason is to prepare you for a job, or career that you have to get up earlier for.
