There isn't anything consider a "perfect" place, person, nor thing. Nothing is perfect, so before we try to make America have a better future we can't try to make it perfect. We have to settle for not perfect but the best we can do. America does have a lot of improvements that can be fixed and smoothed out. I believe that America needs many things to help the future generations. So think to yourself what do you think America could do to help the future? I think there is plenty things to improve. In the end America isn't broken its just bent. My visions for America are jumping to fix the patches.
As we all know education is a very important thing among all children in America, it's understandable why a child must meet so many hours of schooling in a year. I believe to make children want to actually go to school we should make starting time ten every morning, and let out at four. That's still seven hours of schooling each day for five days a week. It is proven that our brains work more properly with more sleep. Children dread school because waking up at six or five is very

I think hunting is uncalled for, and the most outrageous thing. Not only are you harming animals who do have the potential and the right to be here, you are also being careless and shooting over what you should shoot. Animal hunting has been around for 2 million years, so I do why it's such an important thing and I understand that we need meat and food to survive, but hurting poor animals isn't the answer. Everyone says it's good to hunt dear because of the population which is huge amounts of dear, but you always will have ignorant people out there that hunt and kill other animals then what they should be hunting. I think that we as people should have to sign a bunch of papers and takes tests to be able to hunt. By stopping all the hunting and killing of animals I believe we can become a better American
Schools all around the nation have starting times for school, that are too early for the students and teachers alike. Schools starting times should be 8:30 in the morning or later, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Sleep loss has become more common in children due to early start times which only gives them 6-7 hours of sleep a night when growing children should have 8-9 hours a night. children suffer the chronic loss of sleep due to the hormonal roller coaster that you call puberty, which only lets them begin to go into a REM sleep around 10 p.m. . It’s also been proven that adolescent children suffer from highers risks of physical health problems, mental health problems, lower test scores, missing school, substance abuse, and being in a car crash due to sleep deprivation. Students end up having to get up before 6:30 to get ready and catch the bus or walk to school, but when you have to study for hours after school, eat, clean up, participate in extracurricular activities, including sports and clubs, and do chores in less than 4 hours to get the sleep they require to be healthy mentally and physically it’s almost impossible. School should start later to better our future generations, with more sleep we could have more positive members of societies.
In the first place, students are not getting enough sleep. In the article “Should School Start later” by Lisa M. Herrington [20] “According to the National Sleep Foundation “59% of 6th-8th graders and 87% of high schoolers aren't getting the sleep they require”. This quote shows that students are not getting the sleep they need. And kids must wake up early how are they getting the sleep we need. “So why don’t kids just go to sleep earlier? It’s not that simple” Says Danny Lewin, a sleep specialist at Children's National Health system in Washington, D.C. “Adolescents have a deeply programmed biological clock to go to bed later and wake later” Says
Having a later school start time can increase a student’s academic grades and awareness. Thirty-three percent of teens say that they fell asleep in class. Even though this is a small portion of teens, falling asleep in class shouldn’t even happen once. Also, this means they are getting less than what they need,(eight to nine hours of sleep a night). A school needs to pack as much teaching time as they can in a day, but if that means waking up a student at a time so early, then there's no point.When a student doesn’t sleep as much, students are not aware as they would be if they had a good night’s rest. If students had this sleep, the would pay more attention in class. Therefor, a student would have better grades.
Have you ever been really tired when you wake up for school in the morning? Sleep is very important to all teens, or it should be. Young adults should have 8.5-9.25 hours of sleep every night, according to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), in Sarah McKibben’s article “Wake Up Calls”. Unfortunately, two-thirds of teens are getting less than 7 hours of sleep each night, according to the NSF’s chart. This is causing a large number of schools and scientists to think that schools should start later in the morning. I fiercely disagree with this. Schools should not start later because starting later for high schools would cause too many negative consequences.
It is evident that the state should extend many school's starting time , and even consider year round school . Others may disagree and think that schools should remain the same time and not change but i feel diffrent . The first reason why I feel like the state should extend school times back by atleast 30-40 minutes is because it will actually help them stay focused in class by giving them more time to to get them selfs ready to learn at school and the time can let them sleep for at least 10-15 minutes longer. Many teachers and staff are noticing that students sleep in class most of the time and the average high school student is recommended with at least 8.5-9.25 hours of sleep on school nights as stated in the text . In order for them to
Hi, today I will be presenting my paper to show how I feel about America and our hope for the future. I think that America can potentially be a better place than it is now, but we have some major work to do. Our country has went downhill in the past few years.
First of all, kids need their sleep. Waking up as early as 4:30 a.m. then working a seven hour school day is just way too much. For example, studies show that delaying school start times by at least one hour shows improvements in better work habits, increases in test scores,
I want this country to be near perfect, it is my obligation to contribute to that. I need to make it a better place. John F. Kennedy once said, “And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.” I think we all need to thrive to make our country a better and safer place. A good world starts with good people and we need to make it happen.
Abraham Lincoln once said, “My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth”. It is not too late to achieve this dream. America was founded in 1776 upon the ideas of equality and the right to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” (Jefferson). The Constitution was later hashed out in Philadelphia in the hot summer of 1789 followed by the Bill of Rights to ensure these expressed rights to the people. The Constitution clearly states in the preamble that the sole purpose of the U.S. government is “to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure
Do you feel like you do not get enough sleep or feel like you can not make it through the school day? For years kids like you complain about having to wake up early to go to school, but for many years they have studied and found out that later school starting times can benefit kids. It has been proven that kids who get at least nine hours of sleep perform better than those who get less that nine hours. As a high school student I do not get enough sleep through the night due to all of the homework and studying I have to do for the next day. I usually go to bed around 11:30 and have to get up at 7:00 in order to get to school on time. I think school should have a later starting time, because with all of the studies, the facts state that later school time makes students more productive and it makes them a better student overall.
(https://www.educationdegree.com/articles/why-start-school-later) In an article from The Atlantic it says that the American Academy of Pediatrics says kids internal clocks “operate differently than those of other age groups. It’s typically more difficult for adolescents to fall asleep earlier in the evening than it is for other age demographics.” The AAP has specifically “urged schools to adjust the start times” so more kids can get enough sleep. (https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2015/08/why-school-should-start-later/401489/) Those kids who don't get enough sleep may have lots of health risks that can have very bad consequences on mental well-being. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) says (https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2015/p0806-school-sleep.html) that no school should start earlier than 8:30 so that schools can provide students a chance to learn at their maximum capabilities. Another group, The American Academy of Sleep Medicine, claims that “adolescents 13 to 18 years need to
In various studies, school districts that shifted from 7:30 to 8:00 a.m. saw more benefits than those that shifted from 7:15 to 7:45 a.m.”-The scientific american. Many facts say like this say that school needs to be set at later times. Many studies say that sleep is the most important thing needed for sleeping, isn't it ironic that in many cases schools are responsible for decrease of sleep? Melatonin a hormone that your body releases that basically helps you stay awake, but the melatonin in your body doesn’t start to kick in until later in the morning. Thus making it harder for the kids who start school earlier to
Is sleep important? A question that many people wonder to themselves at night. Of course, the answer is yes. Sleep is one of the most important things in our lives, it keeps our brains healthy and working. It gives our brain cells time to relax and not over-work. However, some teens aren 't getting the 8.5 hours of sleep they need, and believe the school is responsible for it. In most districts, schools start times around 7:00 am in some cases. Parents and students believe that the school district should change this and make the start of the school day later, so that they can get the right amount of sleep they need to function. In the Scope article, “Should School Start Later?” by Justin O’Neill, “Teachers Oppose Later Start Times” by Julie Zauzmer and Dana Hedgpeth, and “Eight Major Obstacles to Delaying School Start Times” By The National Sleep Foundation, discuss the issue surrounding the idea of students not getting enough sleep at night and that we should make the start of school later. On the other hand, other people think that the school day should stay the same. Although some people argue to make school start later, I think the times should stay the same because school ending later will mess up students after school schedules, getting more bus drivers would be expensive, and changing the school times might send the wrong message.
If a survey was given out to 100 students on what they hate most about school, some would say they do not like the lunches, or how long the classes were. The majority of the students who took this survey would say that school start times needed to be later in the morning. Around the age of sixteen, students start to get jobs, and start driving which equal a ton of late work nights and loads of stress trying to figure out how not to die while driving with their parents. If a working student gets off at their grocery store job at 9:30, this student is probably not going to fully get ready to go to sleep until 11:00. If this student gets up for school at 6:00 the next morning, this student gets at most seven hours of good sleep instead of the
Hunting is an extremely controversial topic in the United States. There are many people that support hunting and think that it is an acceptable thing to do. I even like to hunt myself, so I can see both sides of this argument that probably will never be resolved, I believe that hunting should stay in our lives until the day we die, because if our ancestors hunted and stayed alive then I’m pretty sure that we can too.
