This I Believe…

I believe that schools should start later like at 8:30.It will help the kids get ready for learning. Some buses come at 6:57 and some kids sometimes need to do their homework at night. In the morning kids need to groom themselves before heading to school or they will look like a mess. These are three reasons why I believe that schools should start later. In the morning some buses come at 6:30 and the person is not ready to go because they are still too tired to get up and yawn and stretch out. It happens to me almost every morning. Kids should get their full rest before heading out to school. It’s annoying when a teacher tells you to wake up or that I will give you a detention. And threatened by that comment I will try hardest to wake up. They limp their way to class.       Second the child won’t have time to get ready because last night they were up last night and doing homework. Kids need their full rest. Teachers are always saying go to bed early but they don’t know that kid personally. The Childs schedule sometimes when they get home they are suppose to go to their sport meetings or practices and then at like 5:30 PM they get home and still don’t time to do their homework because dinner, bath, chores, and or if they have to babysit. All of that and it goes until 9:00. Then there’s the meanest thing teachers give. HOMEWORK! There’s probably going to be like 5 or 6 homework assignments and if you’re in high school the work there is a lot harder. Then finally at 11:00. In the morning they wake up and it’s about 7:45.They are late for school. And so they rush to brush their teeth, change, eat, and pack your stuff. And they’ve missed the bus at 7:00. I believe that schools should open their doors late.  Kids need a lot of time to get ready like pick which clothes to wear, what to eat, and where my backpack is. Some classes in other schools don’t even accept late kids and expect them to stay after. Kids need their full rest, groom themselves and take their time to get ready.  This is why I believe schools should start late.
