Research shows that teenagers naturally tend to fall asleep and wake up later than adults. Because of this, some school districts have moved the start of the high school day from around 7:30 to 8:30 or later. Supporters say students learn better when they are well rested. Others worry about the effects on after-school activities, jobs, and family schedules. Should high schools start later in the morning? Why or why not?

Yes, definitely. When I was in high school, half of my class was half asleep during first period. You can't learn math at 7:30 if your brain isn't awake yet. A later start would help students pay attention.

I see the point, but a later start means school also ends later. Many students have part-time jobs or sports practice in the afternoon, and they would have less time for homework in the evening.
