Hello, my name is Dylan Hanson. I am a senior at Burlington Community High School in Iowa. Ever since I can remember, school has started early. The time that school starts has changed many times but it was always around 8'o clock in the morning. I feel like school should start later, around 10'o clock.
This is important to me because I have dealt with it my entire life and would like to see a change made, even though I graduate high school a week from today and it will no longer affect me. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention is also urging schools to start at a later time so that kids can get the recommended 8-9 hours. There are many risks that come with lack of sleep, and this would be a huge step in trying to prevent kids from not getting enough sleep.
