The benefits of starting school later
No one likes having to wake up early for school and as kids grow into their teenage years, they are forced to wake up even earlier as they move on from elementary school to middle school and high school. When students get older, it gets even harder to wake up and it leads to many obstacles that can be avoided by starting school at later times. By starting schools later, students have been shown to improve academically, be more productive, not skip school, and maintain better health. A later start time should be incorporated into schools everywhere, especially high schools, for the benefit of teenage students.
Grades are a very important aspect of education to many high school students, and grades are immensely dependent on adequate sleep. Later start times would allow for a greater quantity and quality of sleep. Poor sleep has a negative effect on a student’s academic performance. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Adolescents who do not get enough sleep are more likely to perform poorly in school”. Students who are not afforded the opportunity to get in the sufficient sleep they need will have a harder time focusing in school and doing well on exams. If schools were to push back the starting times in order to allow students to have a finer capacity of sleep, then the academic performance would improve, thus contributing to the common interest of all students.
Many teenagers fall victim to car accidents and poor attendance records. Later start times would mean an improvement in attendance and safety as fewer students would sleep in or fall under the risk of driving to school in drowsy conditions. Enabling students to sleep more would cause more students to come to school on time and make them less likely to drive to school in a fatigued state. The Science Daily revealed that “[...] later school start times were associated with a significant drop in vehicle accidents involving teen drivers”. This could be tied to the fact that teens are in a more rushed mood to get to school on time from waking up late or that they are driving while tired, which can lead to many dangers. By starting schools at later times, the risks of teen car accidents would be reduced and the overall attendance would improve, thereby allowing for the betterment of students in all places
Even with all the benefits of starting school at later times, there still remain those who challenge the idea. A common counterargument from the individuals in opposition to pushing back the schools’ starting times is that students should just sleep earlier. However, research has demonstrated that teenagers are biologically more likely to fall into a deeper sleep at later times. Science advocates say that “young people's body clocks may shift as they reach their teenage years - meaning they want to get up later not because they are lazy but because they are biologically programmed to do”. The biological clock of a teen does not correspond well with the schools’ starting times, and when a student is forced to wake up too early they are neglecting crucial parts of their sleep. In order to align better with teenagers’ internal clocks, schools should start at later times, which in return would result in the improvement of learning, concentration, and health.
Students commit a large portion of their day towards school and it would be a more enjoyable process if schools were to start at a more seemly time. For the general welfare of students in public education, the school start times should be moved to later times. The benefits include better grades, fewer absences, safer roads, and increased attentiveness. There is additional potential to starting schools later, such as the reduction of risk in athletics, less depressive symptoms, and a decrease in the likelihood of participating in violence. The further possibilities can only be explored as more schools start pushing back their start times and in the idealistic future, schools will hopefully start to implement a delay to start times as it is better for everyone.

Arrange the following sentences in the correct order for the introductory paragraph of an argumentative essay.

Children under the age of twelve should be not be allowed to play tackle football. Americans value their children much more than a game, don't they? Third, although there have been changes made to the equipment and rules of tackle football, it is still not safe enough. Second, there are many safer options than tackle football for children who love athletics. First, since the discovery of the degenerative brain disease, C.T.E., which is caused by repetitive hits to the head, the people who support tackle football have been put on the defensive-- and for good reason.

(1) Prissy Baker was in Oscar Miller's store New Year's morning, buying matches — for New Year’s was not kept as a business holiday in Quincy — when her uncle, Richard Baker, came in. He did not look at Prissy, nor did she wish him a happy New Year’s — she would not have dared. Uncle Richard had not been on speaking terms with her or her father, his only brother, for eight years.

(2) [While in the store, Prissy overhears her uncle Richard explain that he is on his way to a neighboring town, Navarre, and that he has no one to make his New Year's dinner. Prissy decides to go to his house, make a surprise dinner for him, and leave before he returns. She acts on her plan, cooking a dinner at his house. As she prepares to dish it out, she suddenly hears a voice behind her.]

(3) Well, well, what does this mean?

(4) Prissy whirled around as if she had been shot, and there stood Uncle Richard in the woodshed door!

(5) Poor Prissy! She could not have looked or felt more guilty if Uncle Richard had caught her robbing his desk. She did not drop the turnips for a wonder; but she was too confused to set them down, so she stood there holding them, her face crimson, her heart thumping, and a horrible choking in her throat.

(6) "I — I — came up to cook your dinner for you, Uncle Richard," she stammered. "I heard you say — in the store — that Mrs. Janeway had gone home and that you had nobody to cook your New Year's dinner for you. So I thought I'd come and do it, but I meant to slip away before you came home."

(7) Poor Prissy felt that she would never get to the end of her explanation. Would Uncle Richard be angry? Would he order her from the house?

(8) "It was very kind of you," said Uncle Richard dryly. "It's a wonder your father let you come."

(9) "Father was not home, but I am sure he would not have prevented me if he had been. Father has no hard feelings against you, Uncle Richard."

(10) "Humph!" said Uncle Richard. "Well, since you've cooked the dinner you must stop and help me eat it. It smells good, I must say. Mrs. Janeway always burns pork when she roasts it. Sit down, Prissy. I'm hungry."

(11) They sat down. Prissy felt quite giddy and breathless, and could hardly eat for excitement; but Uncle Richard had evidently brought home a good appetite from Navarre, and he did full justice to his New Year's dinner. He talked to Prissy too, quite kindly and politely, and when the meal was over he said slowly:

(12) "I'm much obliged to you, Prissy, and I don't mind owning to you that I'm sorry for my share in the quarrel, and have wanted for a long time to be friends with your father again, but I was too ashamed and proud to make the first advance. You can tell him so for me, if you like. And if he's willing to let bygones be bygones, tell him I'd like him to come up here with you tonight when he gets home and spend the evening with me."

(13) "Oh, he will come, I know!" cried Prissy joyfully. "He has felt so badly about not being friendly with you, Uncle Richard. I'm as glad as can be."

(14) Prissy ran impulsively around the table and kissed Uncle Richard. He looked up at his tall, girlish niece with a smile of pleasure.

(15) "You're a good girl, Prissy, and a kind-hearted one too, or you'd never have come up here to cook a dinner for a crabbed old uncle who deserved to eat cold dinners for his stubbornness. It made me cross today when folks wished me a happy New Year. It seemed like mockery when I hadn't a soul belonging to me to make it happy. But it has brought me happiness already, and I believe it will be a happy year all the way through."

(16) "Indeed it will!" laughed Prissy. "I'm so happy now I could sing. I believe it was an inspiration — my idea of coming up here to cook your dinner for you."

(17) "You must promise to come and cook my New Year's dinner for me every New Year we live near enough together," said Uncle Richard.

(18) And Prissy promised.
