[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a high school teacher and I wish some of you parents who are against this could come see period 1 classes in high school. One-third of the students have their head down and are asleep. Another handful come late or miss period 1 because they overslept. A few other kids are awake but look tired and say they cannot focus because they are too tired. It is a complete waste. All the teachers at my school complain about the same thing. We feel so bad for the kids because we know that teenagers have a later biological clock and also need more sleep.[/quote] Of course, and they are right, but logistics prevent a fix [/quote] It is scientifically backed and the AAP does not recommend school start times for middle and high before 8:30.
