whee i just did a presentation on this...

should schools start and end at a later time so teens can get more sleep?

consider
-lack of sleep among teens
-how the time to go to school becomes earlier as we move up from elementary to junior high to high school. (at least it is in my case)
-too much homework/studying

my school starts at 7:45, but the bus picks us up at 6:45. we get to school around 7:15 and then we just do w/e we need to do before school starts (homework, make up a test/quiz, music stuff, etc).
its not mandatory to get to school this early, though.
i think that school should start later because it's been proven that teens biological clocks "wake up" at a later time. which means that if we go to school later, we learn better.
