What would mornings be like if school started later? Every morning I feel like I'm racing against the clock due to the limited time I have available to attend athletic training, make the bed, get dressed and eat breakfast. Additionally, other students say they didn't have time to get a good night's sleep due to the early school start time. Therefore, having more time in the morning would help many students meet their needs. School should start later in the morning so that students can have more time to be better prepared to tackle the books. First of all, school starting later in the morning will give students time to eat breakfast. There are very few days during the school year that I have the opportunity to eat breakfast, and when I do, I notice myself being more attentive while in class. However, when I can't eat breakfast, my ability to function in class is lower, or not very good, due to the thoughts of “hurry up for lunch” and “I wish I had time to eat this morning.” This leads me to be less intent while in class. Furthermore, many students say they don't eat breakfast due to lack of time. In a research report by Breakfast First, an organization that promotes the needs of students eating breakfast, states that one in five students fails to eat breakfast and that eating breakfast can help students stay strong and aware during lessons. Eating breakfast also helps students not have constant thoughts about when it's lunch time or have a growling stomach. This research shows how important breakfast is for students' cognitive abilities, which is one reason why schools should start later in the morning. school administrators are very satisfied. However, if school continues to start early, there may be a decline in the student intelligentsia, meaning that the future will have very few assiduous individuals.
