School should start later in the day. Some reasons why we think that school should start later in the day are because students would be more awake to take away more things from the lesson, more alert and they will listen and actually participate in the lessons instead of the teachers having to call on them, and positive health effects students that are classified as poor sleepers report to having more problems with health versus students that have good sleeping patterns.
Students that are more awake say they can take away more things from the lesson. Instead, if they are waking up early, then they will be tired and they might not take important information from the lesson. In October 2014, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued a policy statement suggesting that school districts consider starting school after 8:30 am. Currently, some schools start as early as 7am. One reason for this schedule is a consideration for parents’ work schedules, making it easy for parents to drive their kids to school. Many argue, however, that teenagers and adults do not function on the same sleep schedule. They say that students can find other ways to get to school: a small price to pay for getting enough sleep.
Students that are more alert will be more awake and they will listen and actually participate in the lessons instead of the teachers having to call on them. Around 28% of students stay awake at night to work on unfinished homework. In our research we found the same patterns of benefit to the health of teens with a later start time. When we researched, students who slept eight or more hours each night were significantly less likely to report: symptoms of depression, falling asleep in class, drinking caffeinated beverages, having a phone or a computer in their bedroom, and do dangerous things without thinking.
Getting plenty of sleep also has lots of health effects. Some negative health effects include sleep deprivation which causes excessive sleeping, irregular mood patterns, impaired academic performance, learning difficulties, school tardies, and absences. People then purchase more over the counter drugs over the counter drugs to with help sleep and wakefulness. Students that are classified as poor sleepers report to having more problems with health versus students that have good sleeping patterns.
In conclusion, we think school should start later in the day because students would be more awake, they will listen and actually participate in the lessons instead of the teachers having to call on them, more alert they can take away more things from the lesson instead if they are waking up early then they will be tired and they might not take important information from the lesson, and negative health effect sleep deprivation which causes excessive sleeping, irregular mood patterns, impaired academic performance, learning difficulties, school tardies, and absences.

The argument presented is that school should start later in the day for several reasons:
1. Students would be more awake and able to take away more information from the lessons. Research from the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that teenagers perform better academically and benefit from starting school after 8:30 am, as they have different sleep schedules compared to adults. Starting school later allows students to get adequate sleep and be more mentally alert during class.
2. Students would be more alert and actively participate in the lessons, reducing the need for teachers to constantly call on them. Many students stay awake at night to complete their homework, often resulting in inadequate sleep. By starting school later, students would have more time to rest and arrive at school more alert and engaged in the learning process.
3. Positive health effects would be observed. Sufficient sleep is crucial for overall health, and lack of sleep can lead to numerous negative effects, including excessive sleepiness, irregular mood patterns, impaired academic performance, learning difficulties, school tardies, and absences. Students with poor sleeping patterns are more likely to experience health problems compared to those with proper sleep schedules.
It is important to note that while the argument presented provides evidence to support the idea of starting school later, further research and considerations, such as logistical challenges and impact on parents' schedules, would also need to be taken into account when implementing any changes to school start times.
