Students in Seattle schools are sleeping in later than ever before each school day. And their teachers are thrilled with it.
Seattle Public Schools began implementing a later start time for its students in the 2016-17 school year, in part to give students more hours of sleep ahead of their classes each day. Whereas students used to come into school at 7:50 a.m. each weekday, now students get to classes at 8:45 a.m., according to reporting from National Public Radio.
It’s a move that has a lot of teachers’ support.
“When we started at 7:50 a.m. there would always be stragglers who were having a hard time getting here. For example, if I gave them a project in the lab, they would be the most likely class to mess up,” said Cindy Jatul, a biology teacher at Roosevelt High School in Seattle, Washington.
