High Schedule Class early Schedule

Should high school students start classes so early in the morning? Most high schools have kept the same starting time that existed in the 1920’s. Its purpose was to make time for student to get back to their farms and tend to chores. Thus, many schools start at 7:30am. Many people believe this creates good habits for young people.However, current research suggests that this is far too early for students to be mentally alert and ready for the day. Additionally, many students admit they would be more willing to be successful if they didn’t feel pressured to start so early. Why then do we continue to use a system that we know doesn’t work well for the very students that school is trying to reach? We must change our schedule to start school at 10am to ensure students are successful and want to be at school.

Body Paragraph: By changing to a four-day school week, students will have more time out of the classroom. Many students have several extracurricular activities such as playing on sports teams, which require hours of practice a week. Taking music lessons and playing in the school band also requires several hours of commitment. Being in clubs or Scouts can be time consuming, too. By having school only four days a week, the fifth day would be free for these types of activities. By extending the school day twenty minutes in the morning and twenty-five minutes in the afternoon, students would be able to make up time missed on the fifth day. The longer weekend would provide more opportunities for students to participate in meaningful activities that would help students become more active and responsible as well as complete all their assigned work to a higher degree.
