I see both sides of it. Ya know, as a 20 year old, you can definitely see the benefits of forcing kids to get up. Because they'll have to do it their whole life. And honestly, do you think if your school started an hour later you'd get more sleep? I'm almost certain after a few months all of you would be getting the exactly the same amount you are now. You'd just stay up later. I know that's the case for me. I have almost all night classes at college, and I usually work nights. I'm up anywhere from 5-8 in the morning every night. Which isn't healthy, or practical. And it happened because I was just too lazy to force myself up in the morning.
What I DO think should be changed though, are the times in which the MEAP/SAT/ACT/all other standardized tests are given. I feel confident that I could have done 15% better on those tests if they weren't held at 8/9. And I could easily tell the difference between the first and last sections, my brain is much more active. And it's also been proven. That's what I think should change.
