Hey there! Have you ever had the experience of being woken up early by your parents and told to get ready for school? If so, you're definitely not alone. In this article, we'll be comparing the advantages and disadvantages of starting school earlier versus starting later.

Starting earlier could lead to really good alternatives like, Reduce transportation costs, get students to school faster, benefit work schedules, allow more free time, create academic advantages, is safer for traveling, allow after-school jobs including improved attention, memory, processing skills, and academic performance. These benefits can be doubled for disadvantaged students.

There are some pretty good alternatives to starting early, but starting later is good as well. More sleep: Teens may be more likely to get the recommended amount of sleep. Better sleep: A later start time may help teens sleep during their natural sleep/wake cycle. Less caffeine: Teens may be less likely to rely on caffeine to stay awake during the day. Better grades: Adequate sleep could help teens be more alert during the school day, which could improve their academic performance. Better health: Sleeping longer could reduce health problems due to sleep deprivation. Better decisions: Getting home later in the afternoon (if school is moved up) could reduce the amount of time some teens are home alone and decrease the likelihood that they will engage in unhealthy activities.

If I had to choose, I would prefer a later start time because, research shows that a later start time can have a positive impact on students' lives. However, let's first examine why early school start times can be effective for us. 

Claims and belief about having an early or later school time
There have been several claims and opinions about starting school later. I believe that beginning school at 8:00 a.m. is best because it allows for more sleep and an earlier end time. I believe that our school start time is too early for kids who are still in the habit of being in bed because they have to wake up very early in the morning and that means that their brains can't do much work because they are still in the sleep mode. In my opinion, the most reasonable time for our school to start is at 8:00 a.m. because we won't have to end our school so late and we will have more time to sleep.  Besides, the children will be ready earlier if their school starts at 8:00 a.m. 

Benefits and reasons why school should start early
In the United States, school start times are known for being early - the average school start time in the United States is 8:03 a.m. In 42 U.S. states, 75% to 100% of public schools start before 8:30 a.m., which is the CDC's (Center for Disease Control) recommended start time.

An early start time has several benefits such as: reduce transportation costs, get students to school faster, benefit work schedules, allow more free time, create academic advantages, is safer for traveling, allow after-school jobs including improved attention, memory, processing skills, and academic performance. These benefits can be doubled for disadvantaged students. However, disrupting your sleeping schedule can have negative consequences.

Consequences if kids have an early school start time
Early start times have negative effects on academic performance, including decreased attention, concentration, and motivation. Later start times are related to improved academic performance. Early start times can have a negative impact on social and emotional well-being, including mood, stress levels, and mental health. Early start times can disrupt natural sleep patterns and decrease productivity, insufficient sleep, and daytime sleepiness, which increases the risk of weight gain and has negative effects on your health impacting students' time management and overall productivity throughout the day. However, The benefits of a later start time might make you wonder why I would recommend a later start time, and believe me, once you know why, you will understand. Without further information let's investigate it.

Benefits and reasons why school should start later
Having a later start time for school has many benefits, including reducing health problems caused by lack of sleep. This is especially helpful for children who have to wake up early in the morning. Additionally, more sleep improves academic performance, as kids are less tired and can perform better in school. Allowing kids to get more sleep can prevent them from feeling extremely tired in the morning and help them be more prepared for school. This can lead to an increase in student attention, which is beneficial because better attention in school can lead to improved academic performance.

Consequences on having a later school start time
These are all great reasons and benefits for students to have a later start time. I can appreciate that, the only consequence that I am worried about is that the kids will have to finish late and the time they would finish is around 3:00-4:00 p.m. and the problem with that is that the kids won't have time to exercise or go outside to play with their friends and that is because they have to finish their homework and study for any upcoming tests.

Comparison between having later and earlier start times.
Having early school schedules can improve attention, memory, processing skills, and academic performance, which is especially useful for disadvantaged students. However, there are many benefits to having a later school start time. Researchers suggest that extra sleep for students can lead to better physical and mental health, improved attendance, academic performance and graduation rates. This is especially important for high school students who are about to enter college.

How having an early or later start time will help in our daily lives.
Both an early and a late start time can be beneficial for our health and can improve multiple aspects of our body over time. Research suggests that starting school at 8:30 a.m. can improve high school students' sleep patterns, brain function, grades, and GPA. 

Based on the information gathered, starting school at 8:00 a.m. is the most preferable time. This allows for sufficient sleep, an earlier end to the school day, and the opportunity to exercise after class. Prioritizing our health and well-being in our daily lives is crucial, and a later start time can help with that. A later school start time can have a positive effect on both our mental and physical health.
