Do you want to sleep in during the week?

If so, maybe you should consider going to high school in Canada. Some Canadian schools are experimenting with later start times for high schoolers in hopes to increase their focus. The start time has been bumped from 9am to 10 am so that students can (hopefully) get an extra hour of sleep.

Do you think school should start later or do you think its too accommodating?

I’ve believed for a while now that American school starts as early as it does because sleep-deprived people are easier to control.

I like skool starting early so I can get out of it early. Here in my old skool we started at 7:16

Too accommodating.I’m from Canada.
My highschool started at 9:35am,ended at 3:35pm.

I hated finishing that late when he majority of schools around me started at 8:30 and ended at 2pm and had a lunch period twice as long as ours. o.O

School historically fits agrarian patterns. obviously urban life that we all experience today doesn’t really fit this anymore. So I think it’s time for school to fit those sky scrapers and kik bak and not trip and just SHRRRRROOOOOM

This would be awesome. For me, school starts at just shy of 9:00, so it’s a bit earlier for me, but starting at 10 sounds pretty awesome, despite already sleeping in Art or Physics.

But then that also means that instead of leaving at 3:00PM, it’ll likely be changed to 4:00PM which I don’t like.

It doesn’t matter.. people will just go to bed later at night and 10 will become the new 9.
