Page 5 opinions – School at night — why not?

You know what would be fun? School at night.

Since back in the old days school was often based on a farming schedule. Since farming was only being done during the spring, summer, and fall. 

According to the Students 4 Social change website the U.S. educational system has been this way since the 17th century so nearly 400 years ago. 

They needed families and kids to help out so schooling was being taken during the colder months. When nothing could be planted or harvested. 

Instead of the same schedule over and over again we can’t really do anything but spend the mornings and afternoons at school. I think school would be a bit more fun and have more freetime if it was done at night.

Our school days are often based on christian holidays. Since the U.S. is generally recognized as christian country. Although citizens practice a plethora of other religions 

What if we were to keep the days off but instead of going to school in the morning we could go late at night. School can start at 9pm and end at 4am. 

Obviously we would just keep doing what we usually do at school. We would have lights on at least so we can be able to see.

Since it was proven in scientific studies that teens tend to learn better when school would start later. It would be a great idea for school to start later on the day so students can focus more. 

Teen’s also seem to be depressed at night, going through emotions at night. This can help teens get their mind off of things that go through their mind. 

What about jobs? Most jobs are often available in the mornings. This gives us an opportunity to go out and get some money.  

If school is starting later in the day I think there would be less traffic or people outside. This is good for people that are studying. 

People focus more on studying when it’s silent. I think it would be best if it was at night when it’s quiet.
