should schools be allowed to start before 8AM? Options

[*tweeak*]

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

Is this merely a statement of a fact, or do you mean to suggest that the schoolday should be altered to accomodate that 5%?

it's a statemenet of fact

that's the extreme.

biologically, teenagers when have hit puberty have a delayed cicardian cycle, but not as much as in that example. a 9:00 start would see a jump in test scores- which many schools want to do.

statistics show that schools that start later do better, when economics and population are factored out.
