School days start at 9 am and finish at 3pm across the uk to help students rest.
Parliament/Government should make school days start at 9 am and end at 3 pm to allow students to rest properly and have a good nights rest and to start form time across most schools at 9:30 am resulting in a school day of 5 and a half hours.
It will prevent and reduce the amount of students being late to lessons as they has enought time to get ready, prevent students from zoning out as they had enought time to sleep. Get all their homework done as they had extra 40 minutes of the day to be free. Allow students who live far away to rest as they may need to wake up earlier than the rest of the students and it would make school a lot more fun and a better learning experience.
