(1) In my opinion, school start times should be later for teenagers. This viewpoint aligns with Paul’s argument that more sleep can lead to better focus and productivity in class. (2) I would further argue that a later start time could reduce stress for teenagers. (3) To be more specific, starting school later would give students more time in the morning to prepare for the day. It could reduce the rush to get to school, allowing teens to start their day in a calmer state, which can contribute to better mental health and reduce anxiety. With a more relaxed start, students may feel less pressure and be better equipped to handle the challenges of the day. (4) For example, my cousin Ethan, who often struggled with early mornings, found it much easier to get ready for school when his school delayed the start time by an hour. He had more time to eat breakfast, gather his things, and get to school without feeling rushed. As a result, he started his day in a much calmer mood and noticed he was more focused during classes. (5) To conclude, delaying the school start time would help reduce stress for teenagers, leading to a more productive and positive school experience.
