Let secondary schools start later in the day.

Let secondary schools start later in the day. — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Psychologists have proven that teenagers would benefit from schools starting later in the day and ending later in the day (I.e: start- 11:15 end- 5:25). Teenagers are more inclined to stay up later and wake up later, so schools starting early can wreak havoc on their natural need to stay up later.

Additional details

For the wellbeing of the teenage population if the United Kingdom, and the future generations of this country. It would be a great help for mental health, and promoting a healthy relationship with school.
