    In the absence of definitive evidence to the contrary, it can be said that this policy has outlived its usefulness in modern times. Like Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Marianas Islands, that do not observe DST, the rest of the United States should follow suit and abolish this policy. By doing so, this country will be better synchronized with the rest of the world and its citizens will avoid negative physiological, social, and economic…

    Have you ever wondered why the U.S does daylight savings time and the rest of the world doesn’t? The U.S has been using daylight savings time for years while other countries have stopped after WW2. In the articles“Pros & Cons: Daylight Savings time” by Proscons.org and the article “The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time” by David Prerau they state that daylight savings is both good and bad. Although some argue that the U.S should eliminate daylight savings, I believe that daylight savings should remain because of the reduced exposure to artificial light and the decreased risk of car accidents involving children in the afternoon. One advantage to daylight savings time is the reduced exposure to artificial light.…

    It can also affect many school activities with having to start later and end sooner since the day ends faster. Teens shouldn’t be affect with these possibilities of not being in an activity because the later changes. There has been a non-scientific survey that has reported 50 percent of parent that have agree or are undecided with the new time changes and 60 percent of staff agreed with the change. I believe that parents think it’s right for their children to start later or earlier because of the evidence that they have been provided about their children academic improvement. Staff had worked in school with the children and they might also believe it is right because it can change their school education but they don’t understand that it can affect the different schools because it will not be the same times for all…

    Did you know that only one in every five middle and high schools start after 8:30 A.M, yet the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that middle and high schools start after 8:30 A.M. Students that don’t get enough sleep are more likely to be overweight, not engage in daily physical activity, suffer from depressive symptoms, engage in unhealthy risk behaviors such as drinking, smoking tobacco, and using illicit drugs, and perform poorly in school. American Academy should start later because students are more likely to have bad things happen to them, and students cannot learn well when their brains are still asleep. Most students that don’t get enough sleep engage in things that are unhealthy. The CDC states that students who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to be overweight, not engage in daily physical activity, suffer from depressive symptoms, engage in unhealthy risk behaviors such as drinking, smoking tobacco, and using illicit drugs, and perform poorly in school. Students that got about nine hours of sleep are more likely to improve their health, mindset, and academic results.…
