The theme of the article is the matter of people going early to school and having trouble with the subjects, grades and can`t pay attention to the classes. The teachers notice those problems with the teenagers and report to the directors and principals of the school and colleges. The other part of the theme shows the problem of the presidency candidates, who do not try to solve the educational problems of the USA. The evidence that the author uses is that teenagers’ body clocks are set to a schedule that is different from that of younger children or adults. This prevents teenagers from dropping off until around 11 p.m., when they produce the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin, and waking up much before 8 a.m. when their bodies stop producing melatonin. The result is that the first class of the morning is often a waste, with as many as 28 percent of students falling asleep, according to a National Sleep Foundation poll. Some are so sleepy they don’t even show up, contributing to failure and dropout rates.
In my opinion, school should really starts later, because everybody feels lazy, tired, asleep and end up sleeping and missing the first classes. The result of these are bad grades, low participation in class and waste of time and money. The students sleep late not because they want to, well sometimes they do, but usually they keep studying until midnight or more and sleep very little for the next school day. The classes should start at 9 or 10 a.m. and lasts the entire afternoon, until 5 or 6 p.m.. This way the results of the students would get much better, it would not be a waste of time and money and the students would feel more encouraged to study and learn new stuff.
