The Issue

Hello, I'm Andrew Born, I attend Soo Saint Marie High School (SAHS) And In my Years of education, I've always noticed that school starts too Early. Now yes, I'm a high-school student, but our whole educational career we have been waking up extremely early, now this is not just a problem for High-schoolers or Middle-schoolers, i noticed it as i went to Kindergarten to 5th grade, ( Elementary school. ) We as students have to wake up mostly around 5:00 AM Or 6:00 AM to go to school, now this may seem simple, and "do-able" but our growing bodies, and minds ARE NOT getting enough sleep. This has been known to cause stress, massive stress, especially as highschoolers, our bodies are transitioning into adults and fully capable human beings but during this period, our bodies are not "requesting" sleep untill 12 or 1 AM.   As a simple request, To the board of Education, and other educational "Advisors" or Higher positioned officials in the educational system, to Start Middle Schools, and Highschools In Michigan At 10:05 AM And ending at 5:00 the same amount of school time is available, only starting at a later time.   As One of the many struggling Students, We are not begging for change, we are Asking, as a Student, Please.
