High school
Should high school be at regular time or later?
High schools should start at the regular time. Teens will be able to learn responsibility and they also will know later in life if they decide to go to college, they can wake up on time. Students can do whatever they need to do after school like appointments, their after-school jobs, or just homework they need to do. Also, teachers can make school fun but strict, so students would want to come back and learn, they can have games with the lesson or play videos, etc. Most students stay up at night or they just don’t fall asleep because they are up texting or just on, they’re electric device. So overall, I think that schools should start at normal time because its more provides opportunities to do after-school activities than opening schools later and having no time after school for what they need to do.
In the article, “Most teens start schools too early in morning to get enough sleep, by Liz Szabo” physician M. Safwan Badr thinks that parents should encourage other parents to be firm with kids and teens by taking children’s electric devices and setting a bedtime alarm so they can get their sleep. Teens can learn how to be responsible, so they can wake up to do something important and that there’s always time after school. Daniel Domenech says that high schools been starting early forever and kids at regular time have been graduating and going to college. Two thirds of the high school students fail to get eight hours of sleep, but with a right sleeping schedule then maybe it wouldn’t be as much. Parents can set a time on their devices to how much time they can be on them. Children tends to wake up in the middle of the night and stay up because they be on, their phone after waking up or they can’t go back to sleep, and that tends to make them fall asleep in class when the teacher is teaching. Not having sleep is stealing their time in class to learn and getting their knowledge in the lesson for that week or day. Students can be able to make a schedule they can practice on the weekend so their body can get used to them waking up so early and going to sleep early, so they can go to school at the right time and they would be able to know when they go home and how much time they go left to do their homework or what they need todo.
Sleep researchers says that the children would be able to go to sleep if they have a good schedule. I agree, 8:00 isn’t early but some children can’t wake up that early be ready to learn and work. First period should be free for the children, so they can wake up more so when the go to the next period they can be awake to do work. Some sleep researchers think 8:00 is too early for the children but I think it’s all because of the schedule. Teachers can make class engaging and some children would be interested in the lesson more. Students can have healthy sleep habits, and if they avoid drinking caffeine or taking a nap in the afternoon. Parents can also make dinner early and have the children eat before bedtime, so they have some time after dinner to do left over homework then go to sleep. In article “most adolescents experience later sleep onset and wake times”, around puberty it’s also called “phase delay”. This phase delay can shift the body’s internal clock back by up to two hours. As a result, the average teenager cannot fall asleep until 11:00 p.m. and would do best waking up at 8:00 a.m. or even later sleep by Eric Suni. ( )They can encourage healthy sleeping habits. Some students think its better to get all their work done after school or work because they focus more better after school. Everyone is different some children study at school and do the homework at school, so they don’t have to worry about it after school if they have a job.
Teachers can also make school better with their lesson and they can make it appeal so everyone can be interested in the lesson. They should allow tutoring somedays or even after-school program. In the after-school program, it could be for boys and girls who still need time to be at school. It be can games or even classes where if they need help its exactly the teacher that teaches that subject. Teachers can play the news right when class starts or have some encouraging video to make their day. Teachers can even just have the children look up a quote of the day for themselves. Sometimes children fall asleep, or they tend to just not pay attention. While with the lesson they can add games or have a rest day too where they do all the work they need to make up in that class. Teachers can just make jokes or try to put out extra work so whenever they need it, they will be able to do it. Some students love to see the teacher explain what they’re going to do if the lesson is fun, or they can go up to the bored and just have fun. Introduce another class topic and have a game on that. Teachers can take the children outside on the grass to do work if it’s not too hot or cold. Students would look forward to coming to class because the teacher is making it fun, and they are all caught up. Students sometimes choose when they want to do the work for that class. Parents is also a big help; they can help with the homework and make sure their child know how to do it if they know it is a struggling subject for them. Teens would love to have movie days occasionally and have a field day, can make school fun.
So overall I think that school should start at its regular time because its better opportunities to do after-school better then opening school later and having no time after school for what they need to do. Whether it’s their jobs or just homework, Students are tired after school from waking up too early so some students like the time after. Students sometimes get overwhelmed with the homework and need time to work on everything from what they missed or just could not do at the time, so it’s always good if the teachers help the child if they need it, they can give them more days to work on the assignments. It’s all 50/50 in school the teacher makes school strict but fun and the students do the work the teacher assigns. Some students would love to have a break occasionally. Students would respect the teacher more and would look up to them because the teacher is trying to help them as much as possible. The teens parents can also have a meeting with the teen and have a talk about the problems they are having. So, students would learn responsibilities and they can have fun at school. School doesn’t have to be boring or strict. The children can also volunteer themselves to the activities around the school. School opens at 8:00 am, but when they go to their first period, they should be able to be work because they learned responsibilities and they learned that school is interesting. The teens should be energized when they go all their classes. So, no matter how early school starts teens and teachers should be up and ready to teach and students should be ready to learn the lesson.
