I’m 11 years old I go to Columbus gifted
Academy do any of you have a hard time
getting up in the morning well I do and
every day I have to leave by seven fifty
to get to school my school starts at
nine my bus ride is an hour long so
that’s why I have to stand at that’s why
I have to go to school so early my old
school started at nine as well but it
was in a walkable distance so I could
leave at eight forty and still get the
wrong time but now I have to stand now I
have to go to school really early to get
to school on time however if me if my
school and maybe some other schools had
a later start time the problem be solved
there are many reasons supporting my
opinion first of all people are losing
sleep time according to the National
Sleep Foundation the average healthy
person needs 10 to 11 hours of sleep
however the average teenager only gets
about nine hours of sleep at night this
means they’re losing one to two hours of
sleep in that and a night and or about
270 hours a year on average also sleep
is very important it helps your brain
grow when you sleep your brain sleeps 2
and you would do better in school if
your brain recessed event if it wasn’t
even though I think we should have late
at school start times some people
disagree in winter the Sun sets earlier
than all the other seasons and if people
started school later people would get
home later oh but the bus stop can get
pretty far from someone’s house and this
might this means that might have to walk
in the dark and in some neighborhoods
that might not be very safe there are
many people who think we should have a
later school start time like me and
there are people who think we shouldn’t
this is a very controversial issue but I
still think we should have a later
school start time so people will do better in school thank you for your time
