Students in school usually attend school for about 7 hours total in a day on a regular basis. Most students cannot usually focus on school because of the lack of sleep they are getting. Most people say well kids should go to bed earlier, well if you are a teen you are most likely not going to go to bed early and even if you do go to bed early getting up at 6am everyday makes you more tired. Therefore i think school time should be less time during the day.

the benefits-
For example my school starts at 7:45 in the morning and gets out at 2:45pm everyday. If you add that up its about 7 hours so even if we just start school a few hours later it would give kids more time in the morning and more time to sleep. This would also help with test scores, and the boost of mental health in teens. If you are not tired you are guaranteed to be more aware and more focused. So even if school started at 9:45 instead of 7:45 you would still get in plenty of time for schooling and plenty of time to sleep. Also it would give teachers/admin more time as well in the morning and to sleep. My mom is a teacher at a high school and she has to get up at about 5:30 am everyday and she still stays late after school everyday. So having a new schedule would also give teachers more time with thier family as well.
