Early every morning in a city in Indonesia’s far east, sleepy teenagers can be seen trudging through the streets on their way to school.
Authorities say the scheme, announced last month by governor Viktor Laiskodat, is intended to strengthen children’s discipline. According to parents, though, children are exhausted by the time they get home. Schools in Indonesia generally start between 7 and 8am. “They will only sleep for a few hours and this is a serious risk for their health. This also will cause them stress and they will vent their stress by acting out.”
A 2014 study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that middle and high schoolers start classes at 8:30am or later, to allow enough time for sleep.
I just threw up reading this 😩
doesn’t all the research say that starting high school later in the morning is more beneficial to education outcomes
I bet the teachers aren't too happy about it either.
