Later School Start Time

I think that the school day should start later in the morning so that students can sleep later in the morning. I think that a good time for school to start is at nine in the morning. This would be enough time for students to sleep later in the morning. The students would be able to focus better in school if they were more rested. Students that aren't as rested sometimes don’t pay attention as much in school. Since the school day would be starting later, the school day would have to go later into the afternoon. I think that the school day going until three in the afternoon is reasonable. Some high school students have work after school. By the school day ending at three, it still gives them enough time to get to their jobs. Another thing that I think might work would be to have younger kids take the earlier start time for school. Most of them are up that early anyways, so why not have them start their school day earlier. It would work out better for their parents as well, because they could just drop their kids off at school on their way to work. By the school day starting later in the day, it would make it not only easier and better for high school students, but also better for younger kids as well.
