Claim: Schools should not have a later start time for the students.
--------------------
Evidence: According to a study done by the University of Minnesota, students have 1.1 hours less a day to do homework when school starts later.
--------------------
Which of the following is a GOOD example of REASONING?

Less time during the day to do homework means that students will have to stay up later to finish it. Schools shouldn't start later because homework will get pushed back and cause kids to lose sleep anyway.

Schools shouldn't have a later start time because students have less time during the day to get their homework done, 1.1 hours less to be exact.

Later start times are a bad idea because parents will have trouble getting their kids to school in the mornings. Parents have jobs that start early, even if schools start late.

Claim: Schools should have a later start time for students.
--------------------
Evidence: A lack of sleep can cause the following consequences: a weakened ability to be alert, pay attention, solve problems, cope with stress, and remember information.
--------------------
Which of the following is a GOOD example of REASONING?

Schools should have a later start time because students are not able to solve problems, deal with stressful situations, or remember information as well.

Having a later start time for schools is a great idea because there are many benefits for both the students and the teachers.

Dealing with all of these consequences will take away from a student's learning. Schools should have a later start time, so kids can show up well rested and ready to learn.
