Middle and high school students in California will be able to sleep a little bit later when the new school year starts.
Hansika, 15, said she is happy she will no longer have to rise before 7 a.m. herself to get to school by 8 a.m. The overall mood, she suspects, will lift as well.
“I’m really excited and I am so happy this is happening,” said Hansika, 15, who said she will no longer have to get out of bed before 7 a.m. to get to school by 8 a.m. The average start time for the nation's high schools was 8 a.m. in 2017-18 but about 42% started before then, including 10% that began classes before 7:30 a.m., according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Middle school start times in 2011-12, the most recent available from NCES, were similar.
Opponents of changing start times often bring up logistical challenges like shifting bus routes and afterschool schedules and disrupting family routines built around existing school and work schedules.
