Week 7: Let’s Talk School - If I Was Granted to Change One Thing About School

11/25/2016

There are lots of things I want to change about my school, but this one affects my sleep!

Yes, I am talking about school time being too early! My school starts at 8:00 am and I hate it when I have to wake up early in the morning, especially when I sleep late!

Usually when we wake up, we all just want to go back to sleep! Right? Well, that means when we go to school, we are still sleepy! And when we are sleepy, we learn nothing! I mean NOTHING! And school is meant to be a place for learning, right?

Also we can get scolded by the teachers for being sleepy, not that I have experienced, hehehe…

If I have to choose to either, wake up early to be in school on time or to make a request to school to start it a little late, I would go for the second option because I am a “Night Owl”, which means I sleep late, and am sleepy in the morning.

What do you think? Tell me in the comment section below! I would also like to know what time would you like your school to start, and if you were granted to change one thing about school, what would it be!

Hi Karah,

I truly agree with you! School used to start way to early! You're probably wondering what I mean by "used to." Well, at my previous school, I started at 8:00, like you. Now that I moved schools, because of course I moved up a grade and needed to go to a new school, I now start much later! It is definitely much better! Since I start later that I used to, I wouldn't change the start time. I would change the time we end school. I know you have to go a certain amount of hours, but when schools make you end at 3:00, or 3:30, it is kind of annoying. Some students have after school activities, then a bunch of homework. If kids are going to bed at 11:00, or 12:00, then it is hard to pay attention in school with only a few hours of sleep, like you said.

On another note, what is your favorite school subject?

Great job on your post! I agree with all your statements!

Lucky you! You are right, after school we have activities, and bunch of homework. I like that! Thank you for your suggestion! My favorite subject is Math, if you are talking about the academics. Thanks for visiting, and I hope to see you soon!

Hi Karah,

I agree with you on all the things you wrote, and I think they should give less homework so that kids have more time sleep so then the next day they are ready for school. Check out my blog at http://andrepanay4604.blogspot.com/

You are right, less homework is great! Maybe if no homework on Fridays, I can deal with that :)

Thank you for visiting :)

Hi Karah,
I agree with you on everything you wrote. I agree that school started too early. When I transitioned from elementary school to middle school, school started about an hour later. I think that it's good, but I spend the majority of my extra time to sleep by finishing up a project or homework. Do you have a favorite subject?

Hi Karah,
I agree with you. Although my school starts at 8:55 I still have to wake up at 7:00 for carpool. If I could change one thing about school, I would change the amount of homework the teachers give us. Check out my blog, to find out more about me http://sydnebrown6404.blogspot.com/

True, now that I am grade 6, I have so much homework! I hope you can achieve your goals. Thank you for visiting!

I agree with what you said. My school starts at 8:50 but I think it should start a little bit earlier so we could get out earlier. If I could change one thing about my school, it would be to change what time school started.

Cool! even though it is a little late, it is still to early, thanks for visiting!

Hello Karah I preach to what you blogged about. Even though my school starts at 8:50 I still have to leave my house at latest 8:00, because I live only 20 minutes away but there is terrible traffic where I live. My mom recomends to me that I go sleep at 9:30, but even when I do go to bed at 9:30 I am still tired in the morning.

11/28/2016 06:19:59 pm

I agree, even though you sleep early, you are still sleep! Thank you for visiting!

I agree with you're argument. In our school we get in at eight as well but I have zero period which as it sounds I have the period before period one. It starts at 7:45 and when we have to run I swear my legs and my hands freeze solid. I cant feel them at all when I run.

Wow! I didn't know that was possible, to just feel nothing while you are running. Tanks for visiting my Blog!

Hi Karah,
I totally agree that school should start later, we need more sleep! My school starts at 7:45 and that is a little too early for me. I would probably like my school to start at 9:00 instead and run a little later just so I can have more sleep! Great post!

Hi Karah! I like that you thought of sleep unlike everyone else who is thinking homework. Something I would change about school would be that we could be allowed to adjust our schedule or more specificly, change teachers, because we all have one or more teachers that we might want to switch out of or to get in a class with your friend.

11/30/2016 01:14:10 am

Hey Maxim!Interesting, I would like that too! Thanks for Visiting!

Hi Karah,
My school starts at 8:25 and I also don't get enough sleep time. I stay late at night to finish my homework and when I do that I play games.

Hi Abdel Qayyim,
Hehe! I am also a person who likes to play games in the computer! Thanks for Visiting!

Hey,
I really like you post about school, for some reason the title was very catchy to me. In my school, the bell rings at 8:25, but we have until 8:30 to get to class before we get a tardy. If I were to change something about school I would sat less homework, or course, and more lunch time, because we only have like 25 minutes to eat. Come check out my blog, I wrote about my art class, and what final project I should do.

Hi,
You are right, some schools end lunch to early! Thanks for visiting my blog!

Hi Karah, this is a great topic to discuss about. If were granted though, I would want to eliminate homework. If there is no homework then you won't need to sleep late therefore you won't be tired in the morning!

11/30/2016 01:31:11 am

HI Amada, That is a great theory! Teachers are you getting this? Thanks for visiting, I might have to speak to the teachers. :)

Hi Karah,
I completely agree with you, I hate waking up early in the morning. If I could I would request to start school at around 10 am so I could sleep in and have time in the morning to get ready. If I had to change one thing about school I would pick the same thing because it really irritates me.

11/30/2016 01:32:38 am

Hey Laura
Yay! 10:00 Is the best! Thanks for visiting! :)

Hi my name is Hannah
I totally agree with you. If I wanted to change the time I would choose 11am. So I can SLEEP!! If I could change something about my school it would be to really change the time💤

11/30/2016 01:38:30 am

Hi Hannah,
I think 11:00 is too late! We like skip the whole morning class and have to study until 7! And I say that is a No no, wonder how much your parents pay. Thanks for visiting I am sorry that I disagreed with you, It is just too late!

Hi, I totally agree with how early school starts. Our school starts at 7:30 and I always am so tired during the first couple periods. I think that school should start later so that we are more focused on learning rather than how tired we all are. If you get a chance go check out my blog. http://2022akb.edublogs.org

11/30/2016 01:39:39 am

You are right! Focusing on learning is much more better to focus on how tired we are. Thanks for visiting!
