Should The School Day Go To 5:00?

In my personal opinion I disagree about the school day going to 5:00.  Firstly, children could get tired.  Secondly, there would be a issue  in time for families.  Finally, children would probably have sports on top of the school day.

Firstly, children need sleep, 7-12 year olds need at least 10-12 hours of sleep to sustain healthy properties.  One side effect from too less sleep is your immune shield will dramatically weaken.  That would result in less time at school, that would reverse the action of making school longer.

Secondly, the timeframe for the family picking their child(ren) up would have issues.  Subsequently, the children will  unfortunately have to walk home … in the dark!  Apparently, the danger of being attacked by a cheetah is the same for a child to walk alone at night.  So it would put the students in danger, and the school could be *hammered (* the school would be extensively) for allowing this danger to come to their pupils.

Finally, most children have sports or other hobbies involving exercise.  Since exercise is so vital, the school time would erase the chances of receiving exercise.  15% of of children from 6-19 are obese, in other words overweight.  That would increase drastically if school was longer.  It has many good effects if you exercise, one of them helps with learning and also children usually have a better attendance rate as well.

Hopefully my reasons have changed your opinion or shown  you what reasons will help decide your opion.  Because children would get tired that would result in in a major side effect (that I have gone over) also obviously the danger with walking at night (that I have also gone over) and my final reason showing the side effects of no sports(that I have also gone over).  So in my personal opinion I strongly disagree for the school hours to go from 9:00 to 5:00!
