[quote=Anonymous][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. [/quote]

+1. Other states do this and it would improve school performance. It’s natural for teens to sleep later, it’s necessary to their health and growth. This has been studies and proven and why many states implemented schools beginning later. [/quote]
