More time to catch some Zzz's!
How many of you are tired everyday and wanna fall asleep in class? Well me too sometimes. And when you are tired and have a test what usually happens is that you flunck a test. I think the students should get more time to sleep after a long night of homework. I belive the more sleep you have the better test grades you get. If you agree with me post a coment! :D
Re: More time to catch some Zzz's!
If you get tired during school you should get more sleep at night. Go to bed earlier or something.
Catching ZZZzzz's
If we have a little less school and more sleep we can succed. We can have more school days and more sleep too.
sleep
yeah but now american idol is on who would want to go to bed at 7:30 thats a time for elimentry schoolers not middle and high schoolers.
Re: More time to catch some Zzz's!
[color=#BF40BF]I think schools should start in opposite order.Elementary first(they're already hyper in the morning, heck my 2nd grade sisters wake up in summer to watch TV :mrgreen: ) Middle :eusaclap:
Then high school,they need sleep the most,being teenagers and having harder homework :eusashifty: [/color]
RE: more time to catch some ZZZZZ
i think we should have a nap time during school just like kindergarden!!!!!
This is almost a lost cause
This is almost a lost cause because it's been brought up to the Board many times before and a few years back the parents got involved to really press the idea of later start time, but they cast the matter away because of budget. I do agree that high school should start later because it is a most critical time in school when students have to prepare for college and lack of sleep can really appear on test scores. Also it can be impossible to go to bed early because of activities that end later for older kids. I think the high school and middle school times should switch because it would make it so older children could get home in time to watch younger siblings in elementary school if necessary. Also school would only end 30 min later, so students could probably still be on time for after school jobs and activities. This would ensure no budget change in th bus schedule as well.
So?
I know this is almost a lost cause but we can still try can't we? but i think switching elementary and high school/middle school times woud be better that way we can get more sleep i'd rather get out later than go in early.
just do your homework when
just do your homework when you get home and go to bed earlier. its that simple
sleeping in
it's still really difficult to balance sports and homework and chores. some people need to get more sleep then others so getting up later can help with energy levels and attention spand. it would make some peoples lives so much easier.

sleep
its been proven that middles schoolers need more sleep than high or elementary school students. middle schools should start after elementary schools and high schools so growing brains can have time to recoop
More time to catch Zzz's
I definately agree. You should get a petion going for it.
i think that we should start
i think that we should start school later because then we will not be so kranky and get better grades
Diffucult
it's a difficult situation because, the earlier we start, the earlier we get out and more time for home work. But with all the homework we have( and clubs and extracurriculars) there still isn't enough time for some people.
I agree!
I definetly agree. I'm a very busy person. Between school, clubs, sports and social life I barely have enough time to sleep. Everyone knoows sleep is very important. It helps simulate a healthy body and mind. We need all the sleep we can get. It is a proven fact that teenagers need at least 10 hours of sleep every night to get their minds thinking activly.
zzzzz's
usually i'm really tired at school since my cats keep me up at night begging for food so it would be great to have a break from schoolwork for a little bit or at least cut down on homework
Don't change
If we start earier we have more time to do school work and do other things.
Umm WELL....
IF we change the times then the bus schedual would have to be changed, therefore the BOE would have to spend unessicary money. Also if your tired ( i know i am) then try like going to bed early or (i know that you've heard it a bunch) eat breakfast it really helps, its the most inportant meal of the day.
sleep
i think if schools started later...i would get more sleep
