Teacher here. I can explain this as: at any given time only about 1/2 the class is listening to instructions. I’m guessing that 4th period is a smaller class, but they did well because the teacher could better monitor what they were doing. I’d be willing to bet that 7th period is the largest class.
Half of the students in second period probably aren't even awake yet. I normally wasn't awake/functional until about 3-4th period. Half the time I would sleep through second period 😂
This whiteboard all by itself could be used as data that students need to be allowed more sleep.
There is certainly a case to be made for pushing school, especially high school, later in the day. And I agree, that would be better.
However, that's not necessarily going to fix the amount of sleep they're going to get. No matter when you have to wake up in the morning, some are going to look at it, say "okay, I can go to sleep at X time and get exactly 8 hours of sleep" and then stay up 1-3 hours past that.
Some places already pushed it. I started at 7 and my younger brother now, a decade later, starts at 9.
Our school did that, but ran into an issue that not everyone around us did the same. So students that were involved in after school sports would sometimes be leaving after 5th period (in an 8 period day) 2 or 3 days a week. They’d need to leave around 2/2:30 to get to a 4pm game and have time to warm up. That had a pretty negative effect on their academic performance.
Yeah that would be a district issue where everybody should be in the same schedule. Out of district could become tricky though.
I have bad insomnia so going to sleep before midnight in order to wake up at 6:30 am, in order to be at school by 7:20 was not fun at all.
Plot twist: 4th period was the teacher's prep period. The teacher burned themself while trying to work out how to keep students from burning themselves.
Student here.
