School starts too early and here’s why

The Issue

Schools start too early, children and teens have to wake up around 6 in the morning and have to get ready for the day. Even adults don’t like waking up that early. Not to mention waking up that early children and teens can’t get a full night of sleep. Adding on that fact with their phones not all kids will get to bed at 8-9:30 most kids will be on their phone until 10:30-11:30. thats not every kid with a phone but how many responsible kids do you know that go to sleep on time every night? And to the moms your kids are pretending to sleep even if you know it I’ll tell you anyway. 

I would know because I am a middle schooler and I don’t get enough sleep and I sleep around 9:30-10:30 on a good night. What about the kids with insomnia? Then if kids don’t sleep enough that could affect their grades. Either by sleeping in class, not doing homework or zoning out. If they don’t pay attention in class they could get a bad grade in that class all because their sleep schedule is out of wack.

Adults have to work that early too. No one I have ever met likes waking up at 6 to go to school. Pretty much no kid likes school  anyway then having to wake up to go early in the morning just adds on to hating school even more if it were up to kids there would be no school I know that and that’s not what I am asking for. I simply want kids to enjoy school more. Think preschool not every one went but there was nap time, nap time was great pretty much no cranky kids after nap time.

Every human needs sleep to function properly. That’s a human thing. With homework and extra curricular activities kids are very stressed. Not every kid can sleep while stressed but I know I cant sleep very well while stressed.
