Why School Should Start Later

Decent Essays
Do you hate waking up early? I am pretty sure most people hate waking up super early in the morning for school, because I know I do. In my opinion school should start later because it would be better for students and teachers. I believe school days should start later because it would be great for student to be prepared to learn. If school started later it would be more convenient for students, parents and teachers also. Students can have enough rest and be ready to learn, plus parents and students don’t have to rush and be stressed most of the time. Teachers won’t have to wake up extra early to be at work. Students unfortunately, face difficulties of staying awake for eight-hour school days, or even longer.
