should children be allowed to sleep in school

Hello imagainstalot! Thank you for posting your opening thesis, and I'm gonna hop right into the thick of it.Most teachers will tell you to sleep at home though some students cannotThis is an important point to make in this debate, but this does not necessarily mean that we should let our children sleep in their classes voluntarily. This issue lies mainly within most of America's public education system itself. The average school starting time (At least in the state and local school district I am part of) is usually around 8 to 8:30 A.M which is a fair number to attribute to most American schools. This is naturally a problem with the studies that have been performed showing how this is a negative impact on our children, primarily High Schoolers.https://www.nbcnews.com...https://www.scientificamerican.com...With all of this in mind I still don't believe that children should be allowed to sleep in schools, and this is for 1 primary reason and a couple secondary reasons. Teachers should only teach those willing to stay awake in school and let those who do just be left behind to ask questionsThis would be a very valid point, but this plays perfectly into my own primary thesis. Most schools are funded primarily based on attendance, and thus the more students your school has attending regularly the more income your school receives for funding. When you openly allow children to sleep in the classroom you are practically cheating that system, but counting a non-participant as an attending student. An approval of sleeping in schools would naturally branch into some sort of federal law that would guarantee that a sleeping student would no longer qualify as a "participant" and thus school funding would drop in some schools significantly. If they actually cared students would make the effort to stay awake.This, again plays into the hands of the issues that the school districts push upon themselves, by starting schools too early when adolescents are commonly known to A: have a tendency to stay up late or have inabilties to sleep compared to other groupshttps://www.nap.edu...http://www.washingtonpost.com...And B: Tend to try to hide feelings of grief, depression, and stress due to schoolinglet them sleep through the whole day. Make them realize that sleep is for at home because they are failing. Let those without effort fail.This is again not the fault of the student, but rather the schooling system. The requirements for being at school in the morning intermingled with massive amounts of stress due to piling on work and the general exhaustion of modern schooling is a recipe for sleeping students. These problems need to be sorted out not with an acceptance of sleeping in class but rather a revision of schooling requirements.Homeschooling does not work as a replacement. There is another debate on this website in which a user who claims to have been home schooled claims to possessA: Masterful artistic skillsB: Masterful social skillsC: The ability to display traits resembling Eidetic Memory, claiming to be able to draw the entire earth from memory alone.And yet this human being that claims home schooling to be a sucess story for them exhibits a massive grandiose sense of self, and obviously shows the common attributes of someone considereed to be "anti-social".In conclusion, I do not believe that sleeping in schools is acceptable and also believe that the problem lies internally, within the school system rather than the student.
