Today I read about how school hours are affecting kids health. The article was called, “For many high school students, exhaustion is a part of life.” It’s affecting there health because most schools start early and they aren’t getting enough sleep. Doctors are saying that schools should start at 8:30 or later. Kids have after-school activities and most kids take AP or honors classes so they don’t get to bed until 12-1 in the morning; then have to get up early for school.

I think that schools should start at 8:30 because it gives them an extra 30-40 minutes of sleep, then they wouldn’t be as tired. If it’s benefitting the kids it’s worth it. The author was unbiased. Dani says, “I think the same thing as what Maelee said.” High School students should be getting more sleep then anyone else.
