Be That Early Bird
Waking up early is a sign of success and ambition in our society. Yet legislature insists on making schools start later to accommodate the sleep cycles of adolescents. You do not need science to figure out that students in middle and high schools like to stay up late and then stay in bed in the mornings. I do not know about you but eight hours is eight hours whether it goes from midnight to 8 am or 10 pm to 6 am. Why don't the parents take back the responsibility and make them go to bed at a decent time. This early-to-bed approach has the benefit of not needing taxpayer
dollars. We won't waste lawmakers' time debating the merits of an 8:15
a.m. start time vs. 8:20 a.m. We will also be able to use that time on more pressing matters such as mobile applications and communication services used in schools as well as video conferencing for tutoring. Just imagine the possibilities.
