Too tired to learn? Some people think schools shouldn't start too early. Lots of doctors think so. That's why in some places people are working for later start times. It's good news for adolescents who like to snooze(打盹)!
High schools in Seattle start at 8: 45 a.m. Or even later! Another example is California. The state sets new rules for the schools. High schools can't start before 8:30 a.m. Middle schools can't start before 8: 00 a.m. Why? Some doctors say that students get their best sleep between 11:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.
lf adolescents get up at 5: 00 a.m., they miss out on some good Z's! Not getting enough sleep can bring health problems. The students may have problems learning, too. It's hard to learn when they are sleepy in class.
But some people think starting schools later isn't so smart. How much students sleep is important. When they sleep is also important. There's no way to be sure that students get more sleep. The rules can't make them go to bed! Schools start later and finish later, too. That leaves students with little free time, For what? Sports, jobs, and homework. And of course...fun ! Also, it could be hard to have enough(足够的) buses and drivers. That's why so many high schools start very early.
How about you? Would you like to start schools early? Or Snoozzzzzzzzzzze?
