Prohibit High Schools From Opening Before 8 AM

Created by D.B. on February 25, 2013

It is crucial for teens 13-18+ in high school to get enough sleep in one night. I feel as if schools that are having buses come around 6 AM is ridiculous! I don't know about you, but my teen is often ornery after a long school day. I don't understand what the government expects, would you like kids to go to sleep around 7 PM just to function properly? Lack of sleep can lead to depression and other mental health disorders. You wonder why the suicide rate is increasing?
