Start the school day later.

Kids waking up so early to go to school can cause many health problems and is dangerous after prolonged periods of this pattern. Waking up so early can interfere with natural sleep patterns and cause stress. With after school activities and homework kids have no time to rest and wake up to early. Driving to school at such early times can be dangerous to the driver and the people driving around the sleepy teen. Sleep related accidents are highly common and dangerous. Also when the teen is sleepy and he is in school, it is harder for them to retain information that is learned throughout the day and can cause lower test grades. This must happen to make the school day more productive for the children of America!
