I'm going to attempt to use this as a topic for a persuasive essay, but before we can get the topics approved, we have to basically debate with the teacher on it, so I'd like to be prepared for some of the arguements I'll be up against. Please provide thoughtful reasoning on your opinion, as to why it's important for schools to begin at one time or another

QUOTE(uninspiredfae @ Aug 31 2005, 4:02 PM) are all students with your condition considered as 'gifted'? no, gifted is determined by iq, not our sleep patterns. i meant that it's not very well going to qualify as a special need if you need different sleep hours. they're not going to let anyone go at different times, and they're not going to let you do worse work because of it. but i was much better in school in middle school when we started at 9:20 rather than 7:15. Now, yes, work got harder, but I'm genuinely slower than I used to be and I think that's largely due to this forced sleep schedule. during the summer, i was altogether far more able to do things, i was happier, better in social situations (for example, I've been a complete bitch lately but I can't control it), and my reading comprehension was back up to its former level. Now i've digressed. |
