Stop!..Have a time.

A country-wide school district in Kansas made a survey for its students and found out that delays in school starting times decreased the rates of teen car acidents. There were mny other studies as such, and they all concluded the same, with a one hour delay in school starting time.This happens because teens are not falling asleep while they are on the road, instead they are wide awake and alert ad they pay more attention to cars passing and the movement of others around them. I think ths study is very important because many car accidents have been reported to happen when the driver is not completely awake. Teens stay up late studying for tests and doing homeworks and mostly in college or senior year they drive themselves to school in the morning still worried about their tests and having a sleepless night, so it's important to know what this deprivation of sleep can cause.
