School is necessary, and has been 180 days a year which means we spend 9 months in school and 3 months off for vacation. First off school starts way to early and ends pretty late in the afternoon. Some kids even wake up before the sun rises just to get up and go to school. Getting up this early makes kids unmotivated and tired. Also some kids have to walk to school summer and winter in freezing cold and hot also, most morning in winter are really dark when we turn back the clocks.

    The possibility of year round schools has been a hot debate topic for the last ten years. But, keeping a student's attention for nine straight months is a hard task. It is especially hard when teachers constantly give homework to students. Students get so burnt out by everyday school, that they are more concerned about getting through the year than really learning. Some even take days off of school because it begins to be too much.…

    In my opinion, school startings will continue to be a serious problem unless you make middle schools start later. Teenagers tend to have troubles falling asleep at the time there supposed to. They have phones witch tend to make them stay up all night. Teenagers chat with their friends or even watch something on their phone. When teens tend not to get eight to ten hours of sleep it could create huge problems.…

    Kids will miss out on some after school sports and maybe even get hit by a car. Sports meetings are sometimes hours long, and after school, so if the school day starts later then there will be less time to figure out who's picking who up, practice, games. Plus, there would be less time to do homework and study for tests because kids are trying to do sports or after school activities. Kids are at risk of being hit by a car because they would be walking home during the dark and might get hit by a car or school bus on its way to drop off other kids on their way home. If school started earlier kids would be at risk of being hit by a car and missing out on after school activities and sports, if it didn't, then there would be less car incidents and kids would have time to do sports or other activities after school.…

    High School and Middle School Days Should Start Later Should middle school and high school days start later in the day? In my opinion, I don't think it should. The school day should not change their time later in the day. There may be really good pros to the idea, but there are also plenty of cons for delaying the school start times. These cons can affect both students and the teachers.…

    The Educational Effects Of School Start Times The school starting times on adolescents of today actually has a huge effect on education. There are three main reasons why schools should start thinking about starting classes later: grade improvement, cost, and emotional well-beings of adolescents. Combining adolescents with an early start to the day is leaving students sleep-deprived. Studies show that having students wake up later has shown improvement by 2.32% on test scores (Maghakian).…

    School isn't that bad, why not just make it longer? If you give children massed time in their classes, or class, they will obviously have maximum time to work on what they are working with. A wider range of time would allow them to better understand and hopefully finish their work better and cause increased efficiency, especially when a teacher is near. The supervision of teachers should prevent them from slacking off, and not completing work, being less work is less learning. Second, you will likely be commonly left with extra class time, or free-time.…

    Students are overworking their brains and their bodies. “Longer school days could result in attention deficit and fatigue, making the extra class time ineffective.” By shortening the school days, students will have more time to focus on other things. Students will have more time to study for upcoming tests or quizzes, and would still have time to socialize. Students will have more time to sleep or rest which results in students staying…

    As previously mentioned, many parents in our modern world have jobs and are not always around after their kids get out of school, and for a few hours these kids are all alone and have nowhere to go. When kids stay out, especially at a young age, they can get into some trouble; whether it involves hanging with the wrong crowd or possibly committing illegal acts. When kids grow up doing this, they start falling behind on their grades and become lazier during school hours. Also, they can get involved with drugs which could lead to them starting to hang out with a bad crowd and getting involved in more dangerous activities. Kids being left alone for just a couple of hours after school may not sound all that bad, but it can escalate quickly and lead to very dangerous and troubling acts.…

    There are people that want school days to be shortened and others that want school days to be longer. I believe that the school days should be shorter because a large amount of time is wasted during study halls and when they are given in class time assignments. It would be better if school days were shortened because they would have less time to work on assignments because they would not work on them anyways. Some would like to be with their families since their…
