Waking up early for school is really hard for a lot of students. I think school should start later in the morning because kids need more sleep to feel ready for the day. Most middle school students need about 9-11 hrs of sleep each night, but many of us don’t get that much. When school starts too early, we feel tired before the first period even begins.

If school started later, students would probably do better in class. When we are well-rested, it is easier to pay attention and understand what the teacher is saying. Being tired makes it harder to focus, and sometimes we even forget the things we have studied. If we had more sleep, we could learn more and get better grades.

Starting school later would also help students feel happier. Not getting enough sleep can make people feel grumpy or stressed. With more rest, students would come to school in a better mood and ready to learn. That is why I believe school should start later.
