ok i read this book called "Brain Rules" the other day and it says that there are 2 types of people. morning people, who spring out of bed in the morning at 4 am, and night people, who sleep in late, but have no problem staying up all night. for the morning people, their brains work and absorb information best from about 8am to 4pm(normal schooling hours). for night people, their brains work best and absorb information better from about 10am to about 5 pm( the correct schooling hours for most teens). school should be seperated into 2 "shifts" of people who wake up earlier, and those who wake up later. yes or no?

The way my high school did it was you picked whether you wanted to go to school early and get off early, or you went to school later and you got off at normal, everyone get's out time.

seeing as high schools is supposedly preparing you for college I think you should be able to choose what time you go to school; just like in college.

Yes, but most people are going to choose one or the other not depending on how they absorb information better, but on other factors, such as traffic when they leave school, or their parents have to go to work at a certain time. Also, it could be that some students who tend to wake up early are lazy and decide to go to school at a later time.
I think that the "shift" classes would be a good idea for high school, since high school is supposedly preparing you for college, as the person before me mentioned above, and students do tend to get more serious -- academically wise -- as they get closer to senior year. But there should be some tests done, surveys or a test run or two, to determine who learns better at what time.

I do think that would be a good idea. One (of many) reason(s) I dropped out, was because I was never able to get myself up and out in time. The bus was scheduled to leave at 6:40, but some times it'd show up 10 minutes early, and in my last year it'd show up 20+ minutes late at least once a week. So I never knew when I really had to be ready for. Part of this could be called my fault (for not just getting ready earlier), but not ALL of us could go to bed like 9:30 or 10, to get up before 6am.
I leave for work at 6:45 or so with my grandmother, and I rarely roll out of bed before 6:30.

I completely agree with that. I'm not a morning person at all and it's really difficult living in that kind of world. I have to battle sleep deprivation alot. I can wake up at 9am or even 1pm, but I'm still not ready to attack the world until the sun goes down. I can be tired ALL day and then I'll wake up around the time it's finally time to go to sleep.
I used to think it was just stressful knowing I had to do all this stuff and at night I knew I didn't have to cause there really wasn't any "time" in a sense to do it, so it was less stressful.
But now I'm really starting to believe it's your body and who you are as a person.
I think it would be great for schools to do this. I realize taxpayers don't want to pay for that many shifts of teachers though... There could be two different kinds of schools though! One that's open at night and one that's open in the morning. Then you'd just have the same amount of shifts really.
But there has been studies on teens that say that they really do need to sleep more, even more so than children. I seriously disagree with societies ideas on sleep. Children do fine with fewer hours of sleep (though I do think you should let them sleep for 10 hours if you can) But we force them to go to bed early, not because they really need it, because the parents need to do there own things and have their own time at night.
Teenagers go through so many changes, they need it more. But I'm 21 and I still need like 10 hours of sleep. If I don't get it, I'm dead throughout the day.

the very book that is supposedly preaching the opposite.

Im fortunate to go to a school that starts later than usual (around 840) and im for sure a night person. actually, my entire school carrer ive been going to late start schools.
guess im just a lucky sumbitch mrgreen
I personally think that all schools should be like that. it just seems a little easier on everyone
