 ​Why school should start later in the morning?
Students all have to wake up early to get ready to go to school, but have you ever
wondered why we have to wake up early in the morning to go to school? This
thought may pop up in many students’ minds. In present, many schools start at 7:30,
which most students say that it is too early for them to be ready for school. As
children get older, to wake up early in the morning seems to get harder. ​I agree that
the school should start later in the morning because it can reduce a student’s
health issue and improve their academic performance.

Firstly, to start school later in the morning can reduce the student’s health issue.
The students have a lot of stuff to do after school. They have to do homework,
project, spend time with their family. Most school ends at 15:30 PM and because of
the traffic jam in Bangkok, students have to prepare time for about one hour to go
back home. When they arrived home, they have to eat dinner and take a shower, so
they will have just a little amount of time to finish all the work. Students at this age
need around 8 hours of sleep. So if school start late than this, they will have more
time to do all the works at night and sleep in 8 hours which will be very good for
their health and brain. Sometimes when students are waking up late in the morning,
they have to rush because they are afraid that they will be late for school. Because of
this issue, it makes most of the students choose not to eat breakfast and hurry to go
to school. As we know, breakfast is very important to all of us especially children at
this age because breakfast gives them a lot of nutrients that body needs, so if they
have more time in the morning they will be able to eat breakfast every day.
Sometimes, they do not have time to relax or do their hobbies which will cause them
to feel stress. If they feel stressed very often it can lead many diseases to occurs.
School should give more time in the morning for students to relax and spend more
time with family and friends because it is the best way of reducing stress.

The second advantage of start school later in the morning is it can improve
students’ academic performance. This reason is related to the previous paragraph. If
students have a good health they will be able to do well at the school. Students will
be very productive and active, they can do a lot of work because their brain has rest
enough. Rachel (2016) reports that getting enough quality of sleep can help
students’ memory, they will be able to receive the information and analyze the
lesson better than a student who sleeps less than 8 hours. When their brain can
receive a lot of information, students will feel more understand in what they’ve
learned, they will feel more confident to answer the teacher’s question because they
understand the lesson. If students have more time to sleep, they will not feel sleepy
during the day, so this can reduce the problem that many students love to sleep
while a teacher is teaching. They will concentrate more in the classroom which can
make students have a good grade.
 In conclusion, the school needs to start later in the morning because it can reduce
students’ health issue and improve their academic performances. Most students
have to face all the problems from going to school too early which causes a lot of
disadvantages and this can make them do not want to go to school. If the school can
change the time, students will feel enjoy on going to school more than this.
