Late Start - Good or Bad?

In recent news, one headteacher stated that teenagers shouldn't start school until later on in the morning, as late as 11am. But is this really as good an idea as it sounds?

G-Mag would like to hear your views...
However we have evaluated if this issue is a good or bad idea.

G-Mag thinks that going to school later will be a good idea because students can have a lie in and will be able to focus more when they arrive.
We also think that students can have a proper breakfast.
Also, students might cause trouble in the morning when they have nothing to do before school.

One of the main reasons that this idea would not work is that when school would end, at approx 5pm, it would be mid-rush hour. This means more traffic, and overall, there would be less time to do homework.

So, let us know what you think!

How about starting school a little earlier, and going home early as well? That way everyone will benefit.
