There has been a debate going around Audubon Charter School on if school should start at a later time. Some students think yes and others no.

Seventh grader, Nadia W. thinks it should start later.

”I think it should because when you sleep more, your brain becomes more processed.” 

Her main reason why it should start later is because of sleep.

Next, seventh grader Isabelle W. thinks it should start later in middle and high schools because when you get older, you need more sleep because you are growing up. 

She said, “When you get older, your body needs more sleep for better energy.”

On the other hand, Holly T. believes school should not start later. 

She said, “They have all the bus schedules figured out, and I think that we should have time after school to chill and do after school activities. However, I think that classes should start 10 minutes later than it does, so we can have time to wake up in class.”

In conclusion, students have differing opinions about if school should start later or not. Some think, yes, because they need more sleep and energy, but others think, no, because routines are already established, and students need time for themselves after school.
