LATE START: Students would benefit

Starting school later can improve mental and physical health in many ways. You can get more sleep and rest. Many people who start school later have better brain function for doing work. People who sleep more tend to get better grades. It helps you not be grumpy and angry. Starting school also can make the teachers less grumpy. They could also get paid more money. Learning would be way easier and less difficult because you would be more awake. There might be less violence as in fighting. This is because people have more sleep and are less grumpy. The fighting that happens at school is mostly because of people starting arguments over the stupidest things. They fight over their outfits and things mostly because they’re half awake.

Kids today have the same stress levels as people that were psychotic. They have a lot of depression and mental breakdowns. They will usually start crying because of school and how stressful it is. The amount of stress you get from homework is insane because school work should stay at school. You get pounds and pounds of school work you get at the end of the day is stressful. It’s very difficult to have a life outside school.
