I once asked the exact same question, “why does school start so early?” they answered “well, when you start early in the morning, your mind is refreshed and you’re able to focus on tasks” sounds pretty bs to me. we don’t need to be waking up at 6am to feel “refreshed” to do schoolwork. sleep early they say well no shit when you gave us 2 projects and 5 assignments in one day and asked us to continue at home or else you’ll get yelled at. we have lives outside of school, we have other things to worry about, to improve, to do. we shouldn’t make school our life but instead a part of life but sadly that’s the reality of it.
I have consecutively fell asleep in about 3 to 4 classes just because of how early it is. Not because I went to bed late but because starting early makes me feel like actual garbage for nearly the entire day.
I totally agree with you. I could sleep as early as 9pm and wake up 4 or 5 pm and still be feeling sleepy. Because that school I attended started classes around 6.
'' refreshed '': me who always has lucid nightmares (kidnapping, ab*use, r*pe, assault, murder, dying falling, possession) everyday for multiple years without end and when I wake up I want to die: *ah yes, relaxed, very. * Edit: Wholesome update I guess, but I actually got way happier. Those huge amounts of nightmares were during a year where my mental health drowned, and now since I'm healthier and found ways to cope, I do not have nightmares as much anymore. It's becoming a really rare occurence, almost never, but it still happens sometimes. Still tired in school though. I hate school. Why do kids have to wake up so early?? Makes no sense. My natural sleep cycle does not line up with the school system at all. I found out, that I wake up naturally at 9 am well rested, even when I go to sleep early, I still need to sleep for atleast 10 hours, not 8 or lesser, otherwise it will feel like shit. But getting up at 7 am for school gives me actual physical fatigue and I feel like a grumpy zombie. It's just too much. Yikes. Anyways, sorry if any of my replies down below are rude, this was two years and I was a teenager with anger issues, cheers. I hope you guys have a good day! :D
Yep im a student and i think i got insomnia or smhn so school is a pain once i didnt sleep for 37 hours and had to wake up at 6 am for school was so bad had a hard time even thinking simple stuff Edit: After years I got a notification reminding me of this comment. Thanks for the support, and yeah turns out I actually do have primary chronic insomnia. Hope everyone in this comment section with the same issues doesn’t have too much issues with it as well and can get it fixed as sleep is crucial for our health. Take care y’all
It wasnt until I become a cololege student that I could treat sleep as more sacred-I now had the chocie that if I didnt want an 8am class, I didnt have to enroll. There are always exceptions though, where the class I need is only offered in the morning, but now I have a strict sleep schedule that allows me at least 8 hours of sleep that is consistent throughout the week. Every semester that is not the case, and now taht I am working again that doesnt always happen, but THE DIFFERENCE a good nights rest does is astounding! Now that I am not in primary school, before I watched this video I had forgotten how hard it was to wake up at 6 every morning to catch the bus. This reminder was well needed-it has not been many years since I graduated high school for me. tldr sleep is a necessity and school start times need to accomodate for that, especially for k-12 students.
Yep I'm freshman year I gotta get up at 6:30 every day it's so rough I love love love love staying up late too so I either go to bed early and it sucks or I get no sleep
Yeah. I've had insomnia for quite a while now and my school used to start at 7:15 during highschool. I lived pretty far away so I had to wake up at five after sleeping for two hours (and not even continuosly). No wonder I can't focus anymore and my formerly great memory is worsening so much xd
I literally wrote a whole essay on the negative effects on the physical body school has created when I was 11/12. The amount of backpack related injures in just the US alone is scarily high.
YES I swear my back problems originated from middle school when they made me carry a shit ton of books. Some we wouldn't even use the next day. All because my school didn't want to invest in lockers.
My teacher gave us a “creativity” project to make a narrative and expository book covers for a topic we came up with. I came up with pranks. I started making my book cover and my teacher stopped me, and told me she didn’t like my idea, and then made me do her idea instead. The worst part of this, I want to be an artist
I personally didn't mind the tests in highschool, however I know a lot of my friends did, What destroyed my soul the most, was the constant, excessive homework teachers gave, not realizing that every other teacher was giving homework that day (nearly every day) creating several hours of homework every night, leaving no room for extra curriculars, or even relaxing or socializing time, sending you into a spiral until your motivation is gone and your soul is destroyed. I saw this in nearly every single person within my friend group. School. Needs. To. Change.
That's true, but I haven't really gotten a lot of homework personally, might have something to do with the fact that I'm only a 1st year in highschool or maybe they just haven't started crippling us yet
Yeah this except I was in sports so I'd be trying to fit all that homework in between 8pm and 11pm and my parents would be completely relentless if my grades dropped.
exactly, and those teachers would even take up the extra curricular periods in school to complete the so called syllabus. Moreover, a lot of students (including me) have extra classes too, and its not even like i'm lagging behind in any subject but my parents want me to be a topper for some reason. Like, the whole day its just school to home, home to maths class, maths to science, science to social science. And even then when i use my pc just for 2 hours, they say i play a lot. This shows that the education system is literally brainwashing people
I had teachers that totally acknowledged that. That's what was so messed up. "You can handle two hours of homework a night." "That's what my other teachers said about their classes too. You realize we're being given like 10 hours of homework a night, right? "Not my problem."
When I was younger, I was so creative and full of inspiration for school projects or ideas. Now? School has put our thinking skills in a box and I have trouble with coming up with inspiration for papers, and ways of solving things. My mind feels so foggy unlike before.
I'm 33 and high school was bull shit. When I was little I soaked up knowledge happily from games that were purely for learning. I could pronounce full names of dinosaurs and loved art. But I had ADHD like symptoms (found out later in life it was bipolar) and I got zero help. If I doodled in class I was sentenced to death that would help me pay attention. Definitely feel problem and schools but I can tell you right now they're doing a lot of research, there are actually some people starting to open up to mental health. And not treating us like brats.
It’s so frustrating that there are so many studies about this topic going on but no one is doing anything about it and we are just told that we are making excuses and we all are just slowly sinking in this vast ocean of misunderstanding and nobody cares
i agree, i don’t understand why this issue isn’t being taken so seriously. i wish people in charge could hear teens out when it comes to situations regarding their education, health, and how they’re required to spend day-to-day.
The school system really needs to change. Ive seen so many teens and family members struggle with school and develop mental issues because of how much pressure and stress it causes them. most of these people have a genuine passion for learning but all the stress really makes it hard for them to enjoy it in the long run. humans are curious and learn in a bunch of different ways, whether we claim to or not. People watching this video proves it: we want reason and change.
This is a societal issue, though. Schools will never start later if we don't convince the world that the 8 hour work day and 40 hr week is bull of the highest caliber.
You should try looking at societies outside the west, you might lose all hope. I've lived and taught in Taiwan for over a decade (currently senior high), and... oh boy. Typical student is up by 06:00, in school around 07:30 at the latest for their pre-class class. Seriously. Usually this involves some kind of review test from their homeroom teacher, or general study. Then it's class from 8:25 to 17:10. Pretty rough, huh? Doesn't end there, most of them will head to a cram school after that until as late as 22:00, when they'll finally get home so they can do their homework. Add in time to eat, shower, wind down, and a lot of them aren't getting to bed till after midnight. Weekends? Often more cram schools, homework, or prepping for tests. Holidays? Pretty much the same. If you think this sounds like child abuse, I agree. But on the plus side, it prepares them for a lifetime of underpaid overwork in a country where it's still not uncommon to hear about people dying from exhaustion at work.
@@madaddies Wanna know something even stranger than that. All those hours are for the most part wasted since it's a learning system that's bunk to start with. Humans learn best by doing and teaching, not simply by sitting and listening. Listening to a lecture has a 5% retention rate. While teaching something you found out to someone else has a ~80% retention rate for the person doing the teaching. People also don't know how to train their memory (which is a muscle that needs to be trained). Imagine spending a lot of money for years to learn a language but aren't even able to effectively speak it. But now just go to the country you want to learn the language with some common phrases and don't speak you any other language than you want to learn for 3 months. You will be fluent. Scott H. Young wrote a book called Ultralearning which combined all the best self learners their techniques. Highly recommend it. School is very bad for learning, waste of time and money. Especially since everything you can learn is available online for free.
@@madaddies You should try looking at societies in the west, mainly Europe. You might gain lots of hope. Many European countries give kids time to sleep, they cut down the school day, and abolished homework. College is cheap, free, or even pays YOU to attend. Many countries adopted (and more are joining) the 4 day work week because stats show happy workers are better producers. That's what a lot of Europe does, look at the evidence available and make changes to better the people. That's how Finland essentially ended homelessness
@Jx that is the main reason why when I grow up I’m planning on moving to Europe I don’t want my kids being forced to waste time like I am. School in America was originally made to create factory workers yet we aren’t willing to change it.
I can back this up. I've recently changed from an ordinerey high school, to a high school for people who suffers from nerological disorder, like Autism and ADHD. For me, the change needed to happen, because I didn't mentally have the space for anything else in my life, outside of school. In the special class, we have later start times (9:45 am), and end at (1:15 pm). The later start of the day, allows me to fall into a more comfortable sleeping scedual for me, but the early ending allows me to have after school activities. My grades are overall better. My life feel less overwhelming. It's great!
I have ADHD too and didn't know that school for ppl who suffers neurological disorders made people with adhd change to the school too, damn, I might start considering changing to that type of school when I get to high school because school is really hard for me and mostly in subjects where you have to pay attention all the time (Like tecnology, in my class of tecnology we just open our school computer, open some crappy program and teacher start telling us what to do and to follow his steps) and follow steps, it's very hard for me following steps and get lost within 2-3 mins already of following steps and I always end up screwing up the thing and having to ask my teacher for help and to repeat some things and he sometimes gets a bit p*ssed of and says he won't repeat it again and so at the end I can never focus on things and end up screwing up resulting in bad grades of the subjects. And because of that since I completed elementary school I've been struggling a lot with maths, I've always been bad in maths my entire life but usually in elementary school had really no trouble in maths, yeah I would get either 5 or 6 in my math test (Here where I live 4 and below is a bad grade) and in rare ocasions a 4 or less, since I'm in middle school and started seventh grade I never, ever got a good grade in maths, and it's not an exageration or anything, like im serious I never passed any math test my entire year, My lowest grade was 0,75 and my highest 3,25 ... Throughout the year, I never even made it to 4. and since obviously I failed ALL my math tests I had failed all semesters and got summer homework and didn't enjoyed the summer because my teacher gave me 190 math excercises to do the entire summer, it doesn't sound much but each excercise took like 20 minutes to make and i'm not even joking, each excercise was very long, I started doing the hw like on 29th June and finished ALL the excersices just one or two days before the big test because like 13 days before school started we had a big test we would all have to take the people who failed all math semesters, me and other 2 students. And I luckily passed it with a 5 (somehow) because obviously all the concepts in the excercises were in the test and after like 3 months of hell doing all the hw me crazy dude gave me I literally remembered them just like I remembered the first day of school last year, I think I was the only one who passed and the other 2 dudes who didn't had to repeat the entire seventh grade, i'm in eight grade now but i'm better at maths because I took a math test about a week ago and got the results 4 days ago and got a 4, even my teacher complimented me because I really did improved a lot but yeah. Going back to the first thing I talked about in this bigass long comment was abt schools for ppl with nl disorders. And tbh idk how the hell i'm going to graduate high school because I also read adhd gets worse with time so yeah I'm already considering maybe going to one of those schools for when I get in high school and see that my grades are crap
I didn’t know they had schools like that but I wish they did also if it helps you if you live in the USA to get a 504 that gives you accommodations so you don’t struggle as much. Also if it help you can take medication I do it helps me alot
@@shasta_le_bab Yeah. It's to help people, who has illness or mental health issues, that makes it harder to function in day to day life. In Denmark, were I come from, we can't even apply on our own. A 3ed party needs to recommended us for the program, if we ask for it, and then there's interviews to figure out if it's a good fit at all.
Back when I was in school, I received an article saying that “why should high schoolers be the exception from early start times?” These people don’t understand that teenagers are NOT the same as adults and have a much different sleep cycle.
I never understood this the older you are the more you end up sleeping ? But studies show your supposed to sleep just as much as children I didn't sleep that much as a kid, and it showed I was asleep all day in school , I was cranky ect, guess what in high school I still slept in classes but at least I able to actually pay attention and understand the material I was learning because I was getting more sleep.
thanks to school -i cant visit my grandma -i cant do things that i would like to do -i sometimes worry about my grades -i cant do family plans and more
Imagine kids having an exam in their first class of the day. That’s completely unfair because the majority of the kids are not at 100% cognitive capacity. There has to be a study somewhere comparing test scores from the first classes of the day to the later classes.
It's super unfair, but lucky for me this year, I have math in my 1st period, and math is the easiest subject for me, I have the highest grade in it out of any of my classes, even though I start it at 8:30.
@@David_F97 Not really, we're only smart academically, we're basically humanoids, you worth nothing if you can't study, that's just how some Asian countries are Especially China, since they got large population they don't have to care about individuals' mental health
The fact that this problem is worldwide is depressing. Personally, I hate school because the little confidence I had about myself is just gone, I'm so exhausted, my face looks horrible from being tired, and my grades and work given by school don't help.
I dropped out of college because I just couldn't deal with it. My mental health was terrible, it was killing me. Ended up starting a business and discovering that I'm really good at a lot of things. Our school system is a terrible fit for me, but that doesn't mean much in the real world. Took me 10 years to figure that out because I had been "below average" for so long that I actually believed it.
I'm a teacher and one of my firm beliefs is that standardized tests are damaging our students and their education, particularly in creative problem solving and imagination. I have plenty of coworkers that blame phones, but, me, I blame the tests. I believe they are also mentally damaging just due to stress alone!
Its not just that. When we all get home we are completely burnt out. So we take a nap. Which would be a logical choice. We wake up 6-9 PM. Then remember: Oh man, I forgot to do that assignment. But by the time you wanna even try doing it you have to go to bed again which is definitely hard after just sleeping to get ready for the next day. And this cycle repeats. Every single day. It doesn't just affect someone physically, but also mentally. Which is basically said in the video.
Schools: destroy kids’ mental health by giving them 12 years of work and exposure to bullying and pushes them to potential suicide Teachers and parents: THOS NEW FANGULD FONES ARE MAKING THEM DEPRESD!!!!
Thanks to school, I’ve gotten dumber every day! The constant amounts of stress, lack of sleep, lack of motivation, fear of failing in life, and awkwardness of being an antisocial person had destroyed my brain! Thank you so much!
I remember seeing someone make these points in a tiktok, and the comments were full of older adults calling teens lazy and weak, telling them to suck it up and just go to bed earlier. Makes my blood boil sometimes, it's not that easy.
It’s honestly truly sad. This isn’t the same thing but is related in my opinion. The other day I had an elderly man say “I don’t speak in um,um” when I was using a lot of “ums” to remember my order. I have ADHD and dyspraxia and speaking can be hard for me sometimes. It was very huryful, but it’s also hurtful to remember that these sorts of toxic beliefs were taught to them, even beaten in some older people. It’s awful that a lot of people have the mindset that kids nowadays are disrespectful, entitled, etc, just because nowadays people are trying to improve the systems, and because people are now (slightly) more accepting of neurodivergent people. A lot of them seem to have an attitude of ‘we suffered, why shouldn’t they?’ And it’s truly sad, to think of all the children who were basically abused and it was accepted as normal. All the neurodivergent people who were raised in such environments, and continue to be raised in. But it was even more awful back then. How people who stuttered or had problems remembering, or processing information, were treated. And how completely innocent things like lack of eye contact were seen as rude and disrespectful, and how autistic people must have been treated. I know this is long, sorry, I just think it’s interesting.
@Otneimica it doesn’t matter if your brain is scattered, either. It hurts no one. I even read a book once, about the rules of conversation, and it said that words like ‘Um’ were actually an important part of conversation, even though of course certain neurodivergent people may do it more. But whatever the cause, it still is harmless and doesn’t matter. Just using it to collect your thoughts is an important part of conversation making and completely normal, and of you say it because you have a stutter, or similar, it’s okay to. Even if I didn’t have ADHD and a speech disorder, it still would have been hurtful and wrong for him to say. I don’t want to like be mean or anything, but I disagree that there are invalid reasons to use words like ‘Um’.
I believe this, it's so freaking ridiculous how I have to wake up at 5:45 AM for 7 hours of boredom. Absolutely ridiculous. And then when you try to tell your parents they just shrug it off. School is absolutely destroying me, I just want to spend time with my friends
as a guy who wakes up at 6 and takes the train life sucks the constants worrying about grades test exams ppl who go on the train have it worse becuase they start worrying for like a hour in the train but it is what it is the only way we can fix it is by ralleying up but it looks like that will never happen
As an azerbaijani i can confirm.im in 7th grade and the things i learn now are taught in 9th grade in europe or the US.i have exams every 2 months from ALL 17 SUBJECTS.plus my school isnt a public school so i have 8 classes a day and 5-6 hours of homework.its so exhausting...and thats not the only thing.moms here just sign their kids up for all courses they see.like yesterday i had 5 hours of math course and my brain hurts.then i had to do my hw for 4 hours.i cried becuz of the pressure.im not even in high school....
@@anonym-yj2qk That sounds exhausting, but at least your English is great :) BTW that kind of pressure, and the schedule, is really bad for you. I suspect you also get up early. Which in about two years is going to make your life hell. My best advice would be to be smarter than the adults around you and act as a class. But that's usually the hard part.
It was proven that a 3 day weekend actually increases productivity as the workers are more relaxed and more healthy, we should use science like this to boost society.
I have a 3 day weekend, I work "part time" 34hrs per week. Honestly it's really good. 1 day to organize your life (laundry etc) 1 day to just lie down and rest 1 day to do fun stuff. Idk how I'd manage at a "full time" job with only 2 days off. I'd probably only ever sleep on days off.
a lot of employers dont care about having productive workers as such but obedient ones. people who work full time spend a lot of time at work not doing anything and are more productive when they work less hours but then they would have more free time to start a revolution lol
i wouldve rather been at school fuctionally for longer periods like 10am to even 6pm if it was just 3 days a week. my sleep sched ruined most of my hs since i didnt even start drinking coffee till senior year
Yay, another reason to hate school. One other reason some might not know: Homework once was used as punishment, now it has become the norm. Which frankly says a lot about school in general.
@@BreezyPC test??? Ehhh idk but homework def should be banned considering many kids struggle and cause them to have depression for staying up late to complete homework from fear of bad grades which could lead to depress and SUICIDE.
Rick Sanchez was right : " school is a waste of time Jerry, they ring a bell and give you some carton of milk, then u need a stupid cardboard to tell you were and not were to go, it's not a place for smart people" never have I ever agreed more with this guy
School is making my life more miserable every day. Most of it is completely pointless. It's taught me nothing but how to hold back tears. School just takes away the childhood that kids deserve to have - time that could be spent in the real world doing cool and enjoyable stuff but instead it's a constant loop of going to school, doing homework and being too burnt out from it all to do anything but rest. It's ruining childhoods yet nobody wants to speak out about it. Why are we using such a painfully outdated and unethical system to educate people?!
@@morestuff64058 Their saying school does a good job at making people not want to go learn new things The definition of the word good doesn't mean that the context it's being used in makes that thing being talked about good too
@@morestuff64058 bro what are you arguing here we all agree with this. The commenter stated that school makes children less curious, which, while being a bad thing, is something school is very good at. kind of like how pickpockets are really good at stealing peoples' wallets. Just say you didn't understand and move on instead of fighting some separate point that has nothing to do with the discussion. This is so embarrassing.
@@thewatcher8657 They (95% countries except Finland etc.) know at least for decade that game based education is much more effective, still they teach people with century old methodology. They make factory (industry) workers in service based economy.
You phrased that in a weird way, saying “the school system *alone* is *one of* ...” That contradicts itself. Which do you mean, that it is the only major factor, or that it is a factor? Or maybe that it is the only factor?
It's funny how schools teaches that being stress is bad for your mental health and yet student are stressing over things that they are not going to use in life
my University had an announcement for mental health, and someone said "yeah sure, yet you still send us exams day after day" the university deleted the comment :)
The sad thing is though, that here you are ONLY talking about sleep. Thing is that unhealthy early start times for schools is just one of the dozens of problems that the school system has that not only prevents the students to learn more and more efficiently, but also negatively affects their mental and emotional health
Not only does it take away sleep but the piles and piles of homework they like to give take away the social life of students who are a bit slower with their work. I got to a point where I just flat out refused to do homework so I could actually live my life.
@@flare1921 that’s insane that you had to get to that point. And it’s heartbreaking to think that’s it’s not your fault, or mine, it’s mainly the governments fault for not giving a shit for the education well-being of its citizens
amd not only that, because of the environment of the school has, even the students themselves become an issue to each other, all the drama, the bullies, the situations events, etc. Because of how already the students are usually tired throughout the school, this makes them more irritatable, and more sensitive, more likely to become a "bad egg"
The problem also lies on the children themselves. They always sleep late because of the addiction of using devices and night. It's even not uncommon for children to flex how late they sleep. Even if a school starts at 8 or 9, the pupils will take it for granted and sleep evne later
@@Salad_09Zel that’s also true. However, just like the guy in the video said, if teenagers got to bed earlier, they would just lay in there waiting for their sleep to kick in. I think that you have a point that a lot of kids make it worst by staying up late. But that is not the root of the problem. It’s like saying that if Adults do that then it’s also their problem. Sure but for adults it’s different because the hour at which society and market wakes ups reflects the sleep rhythm of adults. You see what’s happening? It doesn’t start 4am, just like schools shouldn’t start 7am. That’s the root of the problem. Kids make it worse, but when you take that out of the equation kids are stool 2/3 hours short of sleep. And that’s the main point of the video
What this dude said. At school, 2 periods before lunch starts im already starving, cant eat breakfast fast enough. I have a fast metabolism, but a slow eater
@@ohno6568 I’m exactly the same like that, I pretty much only have 30 minutes to prepare for school, 10 for changing, 10 for breakfast, and 10 for finishing up. 10 minutes for me is not enough to eat breakfast since I also eat really slow but I do not wish to wake up any earlier than I already do (which is at 5•40-6•00). No matter how much I think I eat, I still end up hungry before my 3rd period and have even occasionally asked my teacher if I could eat a snack because I’m that hungry.
Bruh, half the time I don’t drink water in class is because the teachers don’t allow me to use the bathroom during class and just say, “Go in between classes” (I have 4 classes a day instead of 7-8)
Projects and of course i am over thinking and panicking on what will happen the next day and our school banned giving homework in Friday so students have more time but guess what? Our teacher still gave us damn projects (it's back in 2019)
Have you ever had those teachers that assign the homework at 12 AM in the morning? Then the very next day, a lecture on "irresponsibility" for not completing it. So genuinely irritating.
THIS! I'm in highschool rn, and for a this one period of time when I was super busy, I had to sneak my homework in my room so I could work on it longer (since my parents kept pushing me to "go to bed" when it was around 9pm). I told them that I couldn't just "do my homework faster", but they couldn't understand :( LET ME DO MY HOMEWORK IN PEACE!
I hate how schools ironically endorse bullying. There's so many stories from my classmates where they would defend someone from a bully but then they would get in trouble.
I was the victim. I was always the one sent to the principal's office, or sent to counseling, or detention. I was always the only person who got in trouble. While bullying faded away around highschool(there's still always that one asshole though) from Elementary to middle school it was always a popular thing among everyone in the school to make fun of the girl who liked Pokemon. _Pokemon._ their reasoning? It was for kids. WE WERE KIDS-
That stuff really pisses me off. Schools punish kids standing up for themselves or others and then are like “we don’t tolerate violence here.” That’s not the point at all though like what else a kid supposed to do if you guys aren’t doing anything about the situation? That’s not at all how the real world works. It just frustrates me so much.
During winter, I realise how imprisoned we are at school. We wake up, the sky is black and the sun hasn’t risen. We leave school, the sky is still black but the sun has gone. It’s depressing
The fluorescent light is torture, some dude in class asked the teacher to open the blinds for some sunlight and the teacher shouted at him for being irrelevant
Schools be like "we believe in you, we want the best for you, we want to help you" then discriminate against students who are unable to meet their standards and actively harm our health and development.
The worst part is, the school districts don't even see a problem in doing so because as long as they earn the green cotton and paper, they could roll their eyes endlessly about student mental health because they cope with it as "none of their concern"
I have a friend, who used to have really good memory, but I've seen it slowly fade until I've recently asked him about it and he said that school has basically destroyed that.
Teachers are the real ones that are sleep deprived. They have to stay up late making homework and tests, and they have to wake up early to prep the classroom.
We also need to be honest about the purpose of schools. A lot of the work is just filler because schools are also there to babysit. If we can just admit that it will already make things a lot easier.
You know I also came to the disturbing conclusion that child labour is actually better than whatever school tries to do. I mean you immadiatly get to experience the whats and hows in full time. Also that child labour is cheaper isnt a child problem thats a goverment problem. Child labour would have never been aboulished if wages and working condiotions where fairer. But thats -capatillism- crapatilism for ya! I just want money because money
This is a change that needs to happen. I didn't want to wake up early, go to school, come home, and then do homework for hours everyday as a teen. This is one of the main reasons I would stay up late; I wanted to do something fun and stimulating before I had to be in for curfew. My school started at 7:45am and it was hell since I lived about 45 mins away. They would also give lunch detention, after school detention, or 2-day suspensions for being late, however that makes sense. You missed 5 minutes of the beginning of your class? Miss 2 entire days of learning instead! In my junior and senior year I stopped doing homework most of the time just to catch a break and go enjoy my youth.
And didn't teachers yelled at you or something for not doing hw? But idk maybe your right, my teachers revealed to us what each thing counts in our final grade, 10% behavior, *10% homework*, 70% exams and the other 10% I think is the work you do in class. Honestly I wouldn't even do homework, it's not damn worth it for the 10% of the final grade. I do all things, I do exams, I usually dont behave bad at school and never cause any trouble and always do work in class, not doing homework and doing 90% instead of 100% will not cause any problems, but y'know, my parents, they think that if I dont do a single assignment that's it and that im gonna get a bad grade at the end of the year. Luckily my teachers don't usually give homework and they don't even give a crap because most of my teachers don't even check if we do the homework so actually I almost never do it but tell my parents I do because my teachers don't even check the homework they give us sometimes and just assume we did it
Your times sound similar to mine and a bunch of friends I know. Most of us have just given up in doing all our homework because we have after-school sports and actually want lives. Imagine having to go to sleep at 9 pm just to wake up at 5 am to prepare for school then get out at 2 pm and get back at 2:45 pm just to have to do homework, projects and study. Then they wonder why we'd rather stay up late and do some things we enjoy instead of going to sleep early
@@gottajokefast wait what? exams here are the most important thing, last year I always did my math hw even though I probably did it all wrong but they didn't care and what they care about is if we do it or not, but I failed every exam and because of that I failed the subject maths and had to do 190 excercises the entire summer because I failed math exams, I can't believe there homework is more important, exams here are literally worshipped as allah
@FallenAngel there needs to be structural change, and in the meanwhile people need to learn to take shit into their own hands. There is no doubt about it that shifting the school schedule forward an hour or two would benefit most people. However, complaining about a problem that you have magnified by making bad decisions is stupid. Shifting school an hour forward would not fix most people’s dysfunctional sleep schedules, it would only accommodate it. In the near future, there will probably be no changes to school schedule, which means you need to figure out why you’re sleeping so late and fix the problem. A small part of the problem is that you’re going through puberty and your sleep phase response is naturally delayed. The elephant in the room that people are willfully ignorant to is that they simply spend too much time on their phones too late at night, during a time where their body is not evolved to deal with. I support pushing school schedules forward an hour and I also think daylight savings time shouldn’t exist but you cant just ignore any personal responsibility
I have heard that blue light makes you more inclined to stay up, but even then, I still get tired when using electronics. I could be wrong about the first part, especially because we as humans probably have better time awareness than our sense for “oh hurr durr a bloo light i gess it’s daytime let’s stay up.”
fr when I want to school, if I wanted an actual full 8 hours sleep I would have to go to sleep at 9:00... which is right as I would be finishing homework. Which is why I skipped literally all of my homework, as had I done it every night I probably wouldn't have had a social life
Students at my school actually made a petition to start school like 30 minutes later than usual, hundreds of kids signed it along with 50 or so teachers! The DISTRICT however, being a bunch of assholes and not caring about anyone else but themselves, simply said no.
Gotta point out that pretty much all of these things apply to adults as well. If you show up to work before 8am, there's a good chance sleep deprivation is impacting your health, driving safety, productivity, etc., as well!
Well a major point he made was about circadian rhythm so that doesn't apply. And teens need more sleep, and a lack of sleep affects the development of their brains more than adults, but yes work culture is awful in a lot of countries.
My body was basically dismantled by school. When I was a kid, like 13 and younger, I had a really good memory. I could remember everything solidly from the moment I picked up my first book when I was 3. Now, post-high school, I can barely remember anything. Sometimes the events of the day previous are wiped from my mind come the next morning. The level of stress and anxiety I got from school was so great that I would stay up later and later into the night every school night trying to avoid the inevitable turn of the next morning. I retreated further and further into a rapidly unstable mind just to cope with it, and by the end of high school I would commonly fall into delusional fantasies when I got home to escape and have panic attacks daily when at school. The pandemic was a blessing to me because it enabled me to finally escape the hellhole and stay home. But by that point it was my senior year, and I think the damage has already been done. I can't drive a car due to rapid onset anxiety from being in the driver's seat and all that driving entails and how my poor memory could cause problems, and I can't get close to an educational building without shutting down. At this point I don't think I can handle college, partly because I refuse to fall into the pit that is college debt, partly because I can't handle being in educational buildings and working a job feels like climbing Mount Everest. I'm worried about my future, but the larger part of my mind can't seem to care.
What you’re describing is exactly what’s happening to me currently. I don’t live in America, but i think im the equivalent of a sophomore. I actually dropped real life school and im doing online classes instead, but it isn’t any better since i associate school with my room in which i spend all of my free time in, so it’s kind of like being at school 24/7. I’m terribly sorry this happened to you and i genuinely hope that you’ll get better soon
It's like you described my life (except I am in my late 20s), especially the part about escaping reality and staying overnight to do it. My memory is wrecked too, especially when it comes to names like names of cities I've been to or classmates' surnames. I blame bad sleep, I've been sleeping 4-5 hours a day since I was 16 and I think it have damaged my thinking process. I also have a fear of failing at work, probably because of how mistakes were treated in my school (I think it's the case for most schools sadly), that is why I want to escape. I don't lose hope to somehow normalize my schedule though, and I wish things will get better for you too. From what I see around me, people choose different paths, not everyone works standart 40hrs week in office, there are plenty of professions with more flexible schedule. Work and even studying in college is so much better than school because you can focus on what's interesting to you. And it's also OK to switch profession or field of study, in fact many people I know switched to pursue a different career that suited them better when they were around 25.
i might be like u in the next 2 year the first part is the exact same but i couldnt even barely remember anything after i turn 10 ( 1 year ago ) ( some of you might said youtube is 13+ but remember youtube already got strike by cobra law )
A lot of adults tell their kids that “Your teenage years are the best years of your life.” When really you: - Get next to no sleep almost every night. - Have to move classes in a few minutes without being late (even if the class is across the school) - Are expected to act like an adult while being treated like a child. - Have almost no time for yourself because of homework you get. - Have to deal with other kids who tend to be way more judgmental around that age. - Try to ignore all the stress from lack of sleep and schoolwork, etc. - Deal with your messed up Circadian Rhythm. - Listen to people tell you over and over that you need to get up early because you’re always late for school. - Are just always tired and stressed out because of your responsibilities and everything. Teenage years are *not* the best of your life, I’d give so much to be able to go back to my younger age, it was much better then. Coming back to this 2 years later, this still holds up. Kinda sad tbh
you’re so right! and most students have a variety of problems they have to deal with outside of school, to top it off. i get so confused when people say they wish they could be teenagers again; i’m always left wondering why????? i’d never go back no matter how much money was offered. high school was one of the worst experiences of my life, there’s no way i’d choose to relive that.
I also don't understand people who wish to return to their teens. I graduated from school this year and rn I'm studying in university, most of my mental problems caused by the messed up school system went away and I feel so much happier and relaxed
I swear to god that I absolutely hate being ordered around in school, even if the teachers are kind. I feel like a fool being manipulated and gets nothing in return. I would rather start working with actual salary instead of going to school altho ofc im not allowed by law.
I love how school teaches us stress is bad and to reduce stress in our lives and separate ourselves from stress and then force us to go to school the next day and give us I huge project on stress adding more stress to our lives
Aswell as the small amount of sleep that teenagers get, they have to deal with 8 hours of school for no apparent reason, that’s probably half of their day gone just in school. By the time they get home which is around 3-5pm depending on transport, they have approximately 3-4 hours to themselves. To which they are “encouraged” to spend on homework/revision/studying, how are they supposed to have a life out of school, if they are just surrounded with work? The flexibility that college and probably some universities have would be more applicable for high school students, they have major changes as for flexibility after highschool that a highschool student has to deal with on there own. But then school continue to pressurise by saying “it’s going to be tuff”, I guess it would be easier for schools and communities to provide help mentally rather than what’s visible to the eye.
One of the main reasons I liked distance learning so much is that I had so much flexibility in my schedule. I would wake up refreshed at 10.30 and go to class from 12.30 to 3. Then I would rest for about an hour and then do homework until 5-8 depending on the workload. After that I had free time basically until 2am when I would go to sleep. Now, I wake up at 7.10 and have school until 3.05 and come back home at about 3.30-40. I am exhausted so I rest for about 2 hours and start homework at 5.30. I do homework usually to around 7-9 and have free time until 10.30. I usually go to sleep at 12-1am which leaves me with only 6-7 hours of sleep...
"Is school destroying your brain?" Bro, it's doing more than just destroying my brain. It's destroying my mental health, my creativity, my sanity, my happiness, and lastly my precious sleep. What's even more sad is that school talks about mental health, yet, they don't do sh!t about it. All I can do now is, *endure* and hope for the best that I make it out alive, without having to lose my mind.
atleast you aren't going to a billion tuitions per day i don't even have time to breathe even my luck is trash all of my suicide attempts failed at the age of 7 and 8
Hey I feel you man, I basically gave up cuz im doing nothing 0% progress I thought to myself that it wasnt worth it because of stupid things to learn you wouldnt believe but dude I hope you can last till the finish of your school years the time is gonna pass quickly
School isnt about learning anymore , its about passing edit: 14k likes, well damn, havent felt this loved since my dad told me he proud of me (in my dreams)
This is so sad. The education system is such a failure. I'm in college and I can honestly say school might literally kill me. I've noticed every semester, 2 to 3 months in I get anxiety to the point of nearly needing to be hospitalized and I absolutely lose my mind. I am now in that state and have 4 biology exams to study for THIS WEEK...I am having a breakdown
Take a break, never overstress, i used to give my exams with whatever felt healthy to me, naped after every 2 chapters or whenever i felt like, as a reward, and made it anyhow, sleep is important, make sure to relax, listen to music in between and take naps, to store knowledge better
@@ramkrishanthakur3312 text with two hands next time, and also nobody has the time for breaks, it causes more harm than good because of how much worse the system is getting.
I'm the type of person who naturally excels at the way school is structured. I got straight As in school with basically 0 studying. But even I when I got to college seriously struggled man. For one, the no studying thing? Can't do that anymore. There's just such a massive pool of information you're expected to absorb, it's impossible to take it all in during class. I ended up failing 2 classes in my first semester because I was cocky and didn't study lol that was a serious blow to my ego. And they make you take stupid classes with 0 relevance to your major so they can keep you in school longer and take more money, and obviously you're not gunna be as good at something you don't have any interest in. College sucks
@@TheChasedanger Nah I've seen more and more studies that actually show studying for 30 minutes and taking a break for 10 actually increases your retention significantly. So when added up you'll have to study LESS in the long run and end up with MORE time
You realise teachers are also just people like you whove been students too right? Its not teachers who make the system. The system tells us what we have to do and we dont have any say in it. If we speak up we get fired. For us its just as hard too. We make lots of unpayed overhours looking at yalls homework and essays that we sidnt even wanna give. But if we dont give em were fired. The system fucks both students ans teachers.
I'm homeschooled and recently I've been trying a non traditional sleep and work schedule. Basically, I do my schoolwork from 9 pm to 2 am, relax afterwards until 6 am (games, drawing, nap, etc), then do chores and tasks until 3 (sometimes one or 5) and then that's when I sleep. For some reason I've been able to more than double my daily workload without being nearly as stressed. If I still went to public school I would be struggling and there's no way I would be able to pull this off.
Chronotypes can differ between people and not all of us are meant to work all day and sleep all night, it shifts around between people, depsite what the servant training schools try to tell you
I haven't been in school for a couple years now, but here's what I ALWAYS hated about the US school system and how it made me feel: -As mentioned, poor sleep. Telling a teenager to go to bed at like 8pm is just not happening (esp with studying), the problem is that these kids wake up BEFORE THE SUN to get ready or even start commuting. It needs to start at like 9am or later imo. -Memory based testing. It's bad enough for anyone to cram in info and hope it sticks, but it's especially harmful to kids with autism or adhd who literally cannot use their brain the same way and may be unable to keep it all in long term. We need to test on the application of knowledge, and not expect students to know it all after one class/HW assignment -No management of students. Not in the halls, not in classrooms, not with bullying or violence, like seriously why is so much bad behavior rewarded/ignored? It's extremely overwhelming for the other students, and just tells the kids doing it that they can get away with being bad. -No time to socialize. There's lunch, but it's 20 minutes if you're lucky, and no recess for teens obviously. You may be at school to learn, but part of that education is learning how to socialize.. sometimes it's even frowned upon to be talkative with other students. -Less homework, absolutely important to make sure students can learn outside of school, but it all adds up SO FAST. Almost feels like teachers forget you have other classes, you miss one night and suddenly you have like 5 missing assignments, it is SOOO easy to fall behind, especially if you're disabled or have mental health problems. If it's worth mentioning, I'm also a dropout who happens to have learning disabilities. Covid hit when I was in the middle of my freshman year, spent the rest of that year + sophomore doing online learning and failing upward because they kept passing me. Tried to go back in junior year and I just couldn't do it, the stress was insane and I missed a LOT of school. They tried giving me 504s and such, trying out schedules and classes, but I just couldn't switch my brain back into that level of stress again. It felt impossible to handle so much in so little time. They passed me onto my senior year but I didn't end up graduating for the same reasons, seriously it feels like the system is meant to fail and break their students. Even by 8th grade I was starting to fall asleep in class because my body simply could not keep functioning in the middle of the day.
The first time I fell asleep in class was 5th grade. In the dream, I was stuck in a loop of waking up and realizing it’s a dream, then waking up, realizing it’s a dream and waking up. I could even feel the drool on my face. I also partially could hear my teacher and I wasn’t able to wake up until after class. My teacher was nice enough to let me get extra sleep and didn’t even have to learn whatever junk she was teaching. It was a nice class skip but the fact that I fell asleep in grade 5 is bad.
School when student gets depressed: that is definitely either bullies or videogames. also school: gives you a ton of assignments and judge students by their grade.
It’s a really dumb mindset to be thinking some numbers on a paper will prove my future, like no there are clearly people who are still doing decent in life without scoring perfect grades on every subject. Having a paper saying you graduated top of your class doesn’t mean you won’t be doing manual labour in the future.
High school schedules, especially those with extracurriculars, are extremely taxing no matter who you are. I remember being in theatre and literally not seeing the sun for whole weeks at a time because you leave before the sun rises, are never allowed outside, and then don’t leave until after sunset. My mental health is so much better now that I’m in college.
I relate so much with this comment, having time for myself to go outside and do other things while in college has helped me more mentally than I would've expected.
It's sad that schools don't really teach you the real life skills but rather, some useless information that we'll probably never use later in our lives unless we pursue an academic path. That's why a lot of teens are so unprepared for independence when in the past, teens were perfectly capable of surviving on their own because they were forced to learn real life skills. A lot of schools also fail to protect victims of bullying but when the victim stands up for themselves, they get in trouble (this seems to be a common trope in America).
Teens are mollycoddled now days. I considered myself a adult at 16 when I left school. It was time to take responsibility and grow up. Now days they seem to want to stay and treat you like kids till you are like 20 plus.
My dad always asks me who am I gonna be in the future. I say nothing and he starts blabig about how I'm unprepared for future life. I tell him " I blame the school". Dad just has to protect the shitty school system.
Back when I was in high school, around 2002, a teacher read the class a study that experimented with a school that started it's day about 3 hours later than average. Our school day started about 6:45 A.M. This school in the study started at about 10:00 A.M. and their records showed the students doing much better. They were more interactive in class and got better grades. Even back then they knew this and to this day haven't changed it. Those poor students.
@XiaoLingButStupid I wasn't blaming the teachers. They deserve to get paid more for the s*** they put up with. There are higher ups who refuse to change this.
Bro im just gonna be honest, us kids for the most part don’t even hate school. We just hate how early it starts and how much pressure you’re put under while in it, and how unrealistically long it is.
When I don’t get enough sleep I don’t want to do anything. I don’t mind school, but for the love of god start an hour later! I can’t process what anyone is saying when it’s still dark outside.
I hated school lmao most of the stuff we were taught there we won’t use for the future of our lives. And to spend such a long time there with little to no breaks isn’t healthy.
humans weren’t meant to learn the way school teaches us, we are interactive learners. we need real-world learning, not the copy & paste learning we see everyday.
*THANK YOU!* :D Like, for real. Schools know that, but they deliberately continue to still use their way to nerf our ability to learn new things naturally & not in their controlled, mentally-draining, environment.

The process and the habits Exactly what this opening comment is alluding to You don't learn 80% of the information but you will forever gain the habit of memorising stuff throughout the same process you used in school Which also means you risk the possibility of forgetting 80% of the new things you will learn outside of school Because you will apply school copy paste methods to other new information you're trying to learn
As a student, I can confirm school is destroying my brain. Many of us students are forced upon unrealistic expectations as young kids. These expectations put a stupid amount of stress on us, from constant note taking and listening to lectures to studying for tests and homework. We pretty much have no free time.

Schools in the US don’t require you to wake up at 6:00. They require you to wake up at 5:00 if you don’t want to have to rush. Best case scenario you wake up at 5:30.
My body has started to automatically wake me up a 5 am for some reason. But that was because I forced it to, I used to normally wake up at around 8 or so well going to bed at midnight. The only reason I forced it to change was well, school
I was genuinely sleep deprived in school. I would go for 3 days without sleep in a week, with shitty sleep for the rest of the week and to me it was just normal. it was horrible. Kids have it so hard but we just forget when we're older.

Teachers always say "You think you have it bad? I have to grade all this work." Like, if it's impacting both of our lives in a negative way, just stop. Or reduce it at the very least.
I have a teacher this year who's writing your name on the board in the front of the classroom if you haven't turned in something she wants from you. At this point, it's just ridiculous. I'm someone who needs to keep busy so on a Tuesday, I'm there from 6:30am-ish to 6-7pm-ish(if I'm that lucky)
"I have to grade all this work." I love it when teachers state this, because I, likewise have to *do that work that you yourself assigned me to let you grade it* - When I say this in response they instantly shutup about their hysterics and go right back to being silent. It is amazing.
Before graduation, i was completely unable to wake up early. Nearly failed out because of it. Now that I work a job I love, I get up at 4am every single day & I’m on the clock by 5:15. School ruins people.

My country's school system starts using a teaching based on creative thinking. The questions require you to think by using the knowledge you learnt from your curriculum rather than just everything is from the book. Tests are harder now and I'm not really liking it, although kinda fun
And this is just the start times, not to mention the damages or inaccurate education and how much of our education system is stuck in the past focusing on skills we no longer need instead of the ones we do.
As a future teacher, this is the best! We as teachers, and future ones, need to collectively change teaching to be FOR the students and succeeding in life outside of school and not teaching for a TEST.
100% Agree! I can't stand the fact that the SAT and ACT get to dictate what is important to our young people. Schools gave them the power willingly too!
Yes, that’s exactly what I felt like in high school. It was always about how well we performed on one single test. Also there was this event called “Student of the Month,” where teachers would pick out a student for each subject (like Art, English, etc), and the the crowd in the auditorium would clap for them. I always wanted to get it but never did. Tests shouldn’t be the focal point of school and favoritism shouldn’t be allowed either
I absolutely despise school. I’ve thought about dying just to avoid going. I’ve tried to skip school, fake sick, and make excuses. I’ve even fallen asleep in class so many times. I hate it so much.

@@martinlenker As a high schooler with 3-5 hours of sleep a human teen won’t be strongly capable of physical functions. It is not natural for humans to wake up in a pattern too early. It is awful. When I wake up I wait for the day to pass until I’m done in school. I don’t know how other people are doing. Also, my school starts at like 7:24am. If I was driving a car at approximately 6:55am to get to school around 7:08am where there is some distance, buses and traffic I would not exactly be doing a great job. Sometimes the visibility where there are pedestrians isn’t good during certain periods of the year when it is darker earlier before the next daylight savings cycle. My sleep is shit. I lack motivation to do a lot of things. I can’t imagine myself at a job after school. My energy is emptied a couple hours after my school day. I’m pretty sure I don’t even have a desire to get the right amount of exercise either. The food I consume throughout the day is pretty bland and I usually don’t do good with that.
I have to wake up at 6:00 to get ready for school everyday, then get on the bus around 7:00 and arrive at school around 7:30. First bell rings at 7:50 and class starts at 8:00 then we have 6 classes. If it's a day where we have "AdViSoRy" then we have 7 classes. School ends at 2:32 and the bus gets you home by 3:30 (any later and the buses will be late for the elementary school runs) If you have sports, you'll usually be busy from 3:00pm to 5:00pm or 6:00pm every weekday, with games usually on Saturdays. If you do marching band, then you'll be showing up almost everyday from 6:00pm to 9:00pm for practice out on the school fields. For me, this means that school and sports take up at least 8.5 hours of my day. Add in the ideal amount of sleep (8 to 10 hours) then that would be around 16.5 to 18.5 hours of my day used up, and that isn't even with Homework time added in. (It's really just too variable to use, but I would say at least 1.5 hours a day)
i feel so bad for everyone, i'm sure we all have felt most of these when we are young. When i was in elementary school i wanted to start school when i'm a teen like when i know more things and stuff. I remembered crying for almost a whole day because of how my school and people have been treating me for so long, i always had suicidal thoughts because I just wanted to be in peace, i should have remembered my mental health first because yk. I feel so sick over these years ever since i've been working my brain as hard as i can for 8 - 13 hours a day almost everyday, i always get headaches and anxiety so i cant focus alot and i get bad grades. This video means alot to me, and all of us. Thank you
The sad thing is, the school system is developed by adults, not teens, so they're just designing it in a way to fit their needs while completely neglecting the children's. This connects to a more general problem in our society of people borderline gaslighting teenagers into thinking that their problems are just them "being angsty." This is a very subtle form of widespread emotional abuse, and it can lead to mental health issues in teens, as they don't want to express their issues in order to "not feel like a burden."

I’m massively overwhelmed and I only do 1 sport and I’m not a super busy person but how can someone doing multiple sports and have extra curricular activity deal with it
@@KDPGPMR Well you need to study smart and know what you have to go over and what you don’t, I didn’t play any sports but I went to the gym most days and still got straight A’s since I narrowed down study to only assessment preparation
The actual educational system has a lot of flaws, and as a teacher, I will try to make my students have the most likeable time possible, at least with me.
In middle school, the only way to take art class was to take PE, and the PE classes were not all equal. I consistently got the teacher who made us run a half mile at 8:00 in the morning, every day. It was so bad, to where I threw my back out, and have had back issues ever since. Starting school so early isn’t just mentally harmful, it’s physically harmful. I haven’t had the same level of stamina that I had in 7th grade for 3 years.
As a teacher, I also hate start times before 8, and would prefer 9. That would enable me to get enough sleep too, while also being well prepared. Ideally, I'd like to be at school an hour before the kids, but that isn't practical when we start so early
My fiancé gets up at 5:30 every day. It’s his first year teaching. The majority of his students are over two years behind in their standards, almost half are three or more behind, about 15% are FIVE YEARS BEHIND. But because of “risks to the school’s funding,” he’s not allowed to give lower than a 60 for a grade. Don’t do your homework? Ever? 60. He had all these plans and dreams for what he’d do teaching his dream subject, and now… An 8th grader asked him who fought in the Revolutionary War, and when Egypt came in to help. ?? Another student thought the US became a country a thousand years ago, back with the dinosaurs. No joke. How the hell do you get kids up to standard when this kind of thing is an everyday occurrence and they’re required to show up at the crack of dawn to boot? 🤦🏻♀️
School in Ireland starts at 9am. Even that as a teenager and child felt cruel, wtf are these schools doing starting so early!? 7am is “I’m considering waking up” time, not “time to start math” time.
I feel like school spends more time filling our brains with useless knowledge instead of preparing us to become adults. I feel like a lot of information about jobs and certain adult things were never taught in school and is left to us to learn on our own.
Public Schools also steal your money even if you don't go to them. They should be abolished and forced to compete on an equal playing field with private schools so they become better.

No joke, the school in the thumbnail was my elementary school, I literally sat there for 10 minutes starting at the thumbnail, analysing it, since I thought to myself "hey that looks kinda familiar". Crazy coincidence
Bruh, we should just make our school system like Finland’s. Finland’s school is one of the best in the world, and, on average, school days last around 5 hours, and students only get assigned 2.5 hours of homework *per week*. In America, that’s how much students get assigned per day, in many areas. This, among other reasons, is why Finland has such a great school system. If you want to lean more about it, the Smithsonian put out an article really diving into the success of the Finnish school system.
@@rec8127 yeah, that’s often the case for my school. Just loads of homework Granted, idk if it’s the case across the country, but I most certainly know that is the situation for me
look, i know we're kids/teenagers, and i know we're lazy and rebellious or whatever, but if atleast 99.9% of us can agree that school is destroying us, then there must be something incredibly wrong we're all so different, and it's sad that "school sucks" is the one thing we can all agree on I really hope this generation grows up to put their pain into a change
@@randommemeboi9502 they could probably find their way in a new and improved school system just fine. if not, there are always schools out there that accommodate for others that don't fit in with the school
I once asked the exact same question, “why does school start so early?” they answered “well, when you start early in the morning, your mind is refreshed and you’re able to focus on tasks” sounds pretty bs to me. we don’t need to be waking up at 6am to feel “refreshed” to do schoolwork. sleep early they say well no shit when you gave us 2 projects and 5 assignments in one day and asked us to continue at home or else you’ll get yelled at. we have lives outside of school, we have other things to worry about, to improve, to do. we shouldn’t make school our life but instead a part of life but sadly that’s the reality of it.
I have consecutively fell asleep in about 3 to 4 classes just because of how early it is. Not because I went to bed late but because starting early makes me feel like actual garbage for nearly the entire day.
I totally agree with you. I could sleep as early as 9pm and wake up 4 or 5 pm and still be feeling sleepy. Because that school I attended started classes around 6.
i agree they have it wrong when u first wake up is when u have ur most energy lol
My brain literally doesn’t start working correctly until around 9 am but I get stuck with pre calc as my first class and I don’t understand anything🥲🥲
'' refreshed '': me who always has lucid nightmares (kidnapping, ab*use, r*pe, assault, murder, dying falling, possession) everyday for multiple years without end and when I wake up I want to die:
*ah yes, relaxed, very. *
Edit: Wholesome update I guess, but I actually got way happier. Those huge amounts of nightmares were during a year where my mental health drowned, and now since I'm healthier and found ways to cope, I do not have nightmares as much anymore. It's becoming a really rare occurence, almost never, but it still happens sometimes.
Still tired in school though. I hate school. Why do kids have to wake up so early?? Makes no sense. My natural sleep cycle does not line up with the school system at all. I found out, that I wake up naturally at 9 am well rested, even when I go to sleep early, I still need to sleep for atleast 10 hours, not 8 or lesser, otherwise it will feel like shit. But getting up at 7 am for school gives me actual physical fatigue and I feel like a grumpy zombie. It's just too much. Yikes.
Anyways, sorry if any of my replies down below are rude, this was two years and I was a teenager with anger issues, cheers. I hope you guys have a good day! :D
Man, that was the number one thing I remember kids complaining about when I was in school. Waking up at 5 or 6 is TORTURE when you're a teen!
Yep im a student and i think i got insomnia or smhn so school is a pain once i didnt sleep for 37 hours and had to wake up at 6 am for school was so bad had a hard time even thinking simple stuff
Edit: After years I got a notification reminding me of this comment. Thanks for the support, and yeah turns out I actually do have primary chronic insomnia. Hope everyone in this comment section with the same issues doesn’t have too much issues with it as well and can get it fixed as sleep is crucial for our health. Take care y’all
It wasnt until I become a cololege student that I could treat sleep as more sacred-I now had the chocie that if I didnt want an 8am class, I didnt have to enroll. There are always exceptions though, where the class I need is only offered in the morning, but now I have a strict sleep schedule that allows me at least 8 hours of sleep that is consistent throughout the week. Every semester that is not the case, and now taht I am working again that doesnt always happen, but THE DIFFERENCE a good nights rest does is astounding! Now that I am not in primary school, before I watched this video I had forgotten how hard it was to wake up at 6 every morning to catch the bus. This reminder was well needed-it has not been many years since I graduated high school for me.
tldr sleep is a necessity and school start times need to accomodate for that, especially for k-12 students.
Yep I'm freshman year I gotta get up at 6:30 every day it's so rough I love love love love staying up late too so I either go to bed early and it sucks or I get no sleep
Yup 😭
Yeah. I've had insomnia for quite a while now and my school used to start at 7:15 during highschool. I lived pretty far away so I had to wake up at five after sleeping for two hours (and not even continuosly). No wonder I can't focus anymore and my formerly great memory is worsening so much xd
I literally wrote a whole essay on the negative effects on the physical body school has created when I was 11/12. The amount of backpack related injures in just the US alone is scarily high.

When will schools all around the world actually just start applying an optimal time for all students?
YES I swear my back problems originated from middle school when they made me carry a shit ton of books. Some we wouldn't even use the next day. All because my school didn't want to invest in lockers.
I have a herniated disk in my back directly related to carrying books in middle and high school. I was like 17 with backpain.

That's tough buddy...
Holy crap that’s actually wild
WOW that's nice
is ur teacher slow???
Typical
I personally didn't mind the tests in highschool, however I know a lot of my friends did,
What destroyed my soul the most, was the constant, excessive homework teachers gave, not realizing that every other teacher was giving homework that day (nearly every day) creating several hours of homework every night, leaving no room for extra curriculars, or even relaxing or socializing time, sending you into a spiral until your motivation is gone and your soul is destroyed. I saw this in nearly every single person within my friend group.
School. Needs. To. Change.
That's true, but I haven't really gotten a lot of homework personally, might have something to do with the fact that I'm only a 1st year in highschool or maybe they just haven't started crippling us yet
Yeah this except I was in sports so I'd be trying to fit all that homework in between 8pm and 11pm and my parents would be completely relentless if my grades dropped.
exactly, and those teachers would even take up the extra curricular periods in school to complete the so called syllabus. Moreover, a lot of students (including me) have extra classes too, and its not even like i'm lagging behind in any subject but my parents want me to be a topper for some reason. Like, the whole day its just school to home, home to maths class, maths to science, science to social science. And even then when i use my pc just for 2 hours, they say i play a lot. This shows that the education system is literally brainwashing people
I had teachers that totally acknowledged that. That's what was so messed up.
"You can handle two hours of homework a night."
"That's what my other teachers said about their classes too. You realize we're being given like 10 hours of homework a night, right?
"Not my problem."
Yes
When I was younger, I was so creative and full of inspiration for school projects or ideas. Now? School has put our thinking skills in a box and I have trouble with coming up with inspiration for papers, and ways of solving things. My mind feels so foggy unlike before.
yeah i'm only a few months in and i feel like that

Disconnections are the main part i hate
I'm 33 and high school was bull shit. When I was little I soaked up knowledge happily from games that were purely for learning. I could pronounce full names of dinosaurs and loved art. But I had ADHD like symptoms (found out later in life it was bipolar) and I got zero help. If I doodled in class I was sentenced to death that would help me pay attention. Definitely feel problem and schools but I can tell you right now they're doing a lot of research, there are actually some people starting to open up to mental health. And not treating us like brats.
@@SpookaySpctr I'm sorry people gotta go through this.
It’s so frustrating that there are so many studies about this topic going on but no one is doing anything about it and we are just told that we are making excuses and we all are just slowly sinking in this vast ocean of misunderstanding and nobody cares
Well said.
Honestly.
i agree, i don’t understand why this issue isn’t being taken so seriously. i wish people in charge could hear teens out when it comes to situations regarding their education, health, and how they’re required to spend day-to-day.
Sadly I don't think its gonna happen since ig its the generation back then and now.
Simple, corruption.
The school system really needs to change. Ive seen so many teens and family members struggle with school and develop mental issues because of how much pressure and stress it causes them. most of these people have a genuine passion for learning but all the stress really makes it hard for them to enjoy it in the long run.
humans are curious and learn in a bunch of different ways, whether we claim to or not. People watching this video proves it: we want reason and change.

This is a societal issue, though. Schools will never start later if we don't convince the world that the 8 hour work day and 40 hr week is bull of the highest caliber.
You should try looking at societies outside the west, you might lose all hope. I've lived and taught in Taiwan for over a decade (currently senior high), and... oh boy. Typical student is up by 06:00, in school around 07:30 at the latest for their pre-class class. Seriously. Usually this involves some kind of review test from their homeroom teacher, or general study. Then it's class from 8:25 to 17:10. Pretty rough, huh? Doesn't end there, most of them will head to a cram school after that until as late as 22:00, when they'll finally get home so they can do their homework. Add in time to eat, shower, wind down, and a lot of them aren't getting to bed till after midnight. Weekends? Often more cram schools, homework, or prepping for tests. Holidays? Pretty much the same. If you think this sounds like child abuse, I agree. But on the plus side, it prepares them for a lifetime of underpaid overwork in a country where it's still not uncommon to hear about people dying from exhaustion at work.
@@madaddies Wanna know something even stranger than that. All those hours are for the most part wasted since it's a learning system that's bunk to start with. Humans learn best by doing and teaching, not simply by sitting and listening.
Listening to a lecture has a 5% retention rate. While teaching something you found out to someone else has a ~80% retention rate for the person doing the teaching.
People also don't know how to train their memory (which is a muscle that needs to be trained). Imagine spending a lot of money for years to learn a language but aren't even able to effectively speak it.
But now just go to the country you want to learn the language with some common phrases and don't speak you any other language than you want to learn for 3 months. You will be fluent.
Scott H. Young wrote a book called Ultralearning which combined all the best self learners their techniques. Highly recommend it. School is very bad for learning, waste of time and money. Especially since everything you can learn is available online for free.
@@madaddies You should try looking at societies in the west, mainly Europe. You might gain lots of hope. Many European countries give kids time to sleep, they cut down the school day, and abolished homework. College is cheap, free, or even pays YOU to attend. Many countries adopted (and more are joining) the 4 day work week because stats show happy workers are better producers. That's what a lot of Europe does, look at the evidence available and make changes to better the people. That's how Finland essentially ended homelessness
@Jx that is the main reason why when I grow up I’m planning on moving to Europe I don’t want my kids being forced to waste time like I am. School in America was originally made to create factory workers yet we aren’t willing to change it.
@@madaddies That's pretty much what happens in my state. It happens in the west too.
I can back this up. I've recently changed from an ordinerey high school, to a high school for people who suffers from nerological disorder, like Autism and ADHD. For me, the change needed to happen, because I didn't mentally have the space for anything else in my life, outside of school. In the special class, we have later start times (9:45 am), and end at (1:15 pm). The later start of the day, allows me to fall into a more comfortable sleeping scedual for me, but the early ending allows me to have after school activities. My grades are overall better. My life feel less overwhelming. It's great!
I have ADHD too and didn't know that school for ppl who suffers neurological disorders made people with adhd change to the school too, damn, I might start considering changing to that type of school when I get to high school because school is really hard for me and mostly in subjects where you have to pay attention all the time (Like tecnology, in my class of tecnology we just open our school computer, open some crappy program and teacher start telling us what to do and to follow his steps) and follow steps, it's very hard for me following steps and get lost within 2-3 mins already of following steps and I always end up screwing up the thing and having to ask my teacher for help and to repeat some things and he sometimes gets a bit p*ssed of and says he won't repeat it again and so at the end I can never focus on things and end up screwing up resulting in bad grades of the subjects. And because of that since I completed elementary school I've been struggling a lot with maths, I've always been bad in maths my entire life but usually in elementary school had really no trouble in maths, yeah I would get either 5 or 6 in my math test (Here where I live 4 and below is a bad grade) and in rare ocasions a 4 or less, since I'm in middle school and started seventh grade I never, ever got a good grade in maths, and it's not an exageration or anything, like im serious I never passed any math test my entire year, My lowest grade was 0,75 and my highest 3,25 ... Throughout the year, I never even made it to 4. and since obviously I failed ALL my math tests I had failed all semesters and got summer homework and didn't enjoyed the summer because my teacher gave me 190 math excercises to do the entire summer, it doesn't sound much but each excercise took like 20 minutes to make and i'm not even joking, each excercise was very long, I started doing the hw like on 29th June and finished ALL the excersices just one or two days before the big test because like 13 days before school started we had a big test we would all have to take the people who failed all math semesters, me and other 2 students. And I luckily passed it with a 5 (somehow) because obviously all the concepts in the excercises were in the test and after like 3 months of hell doing all the hw me crazy dude gave me I literally remembered them just like I remembered the first day of school last year, I think I was the only one who passed and the other 2 dudes who didn't had to repeat the entire seventh grade, i'm in eight grade now but i'm better at maths because I took a math test about a week ago and got the results 4 days ago and got a 4, even my teacher complimented me because I really did improved a lot but yeah. Going back to the first thing I talked about in this bigass long comment was abt schools for ppl with nl disorders. And tbh idk how the hell i'm going to graduate high school because I also read adhd gets worse with time so yeah I'm already considering maybe going to one of those schools for when I get in high school and see that my grades are crap
I didn’t know they had schools like that but I wish they did also if it helps you if you live in the USA to get a 504 that gives you accommodations so you don’t struggle as much. Also if it help you can take medication I do it helps me alot

Back when I was in school, I received an article saying that “why should high schoolers be the exception from early start times?” These people don’t understand that teenagers are NOT the same as adults and have a much different sleep cycle.

@ItzDark I can relate to that.
I never understood this the older you are the more you end up sleeping ? But studies show your supposed to sleep just as much as children I didn't sleep that much as a kid, and it showed I was asleep all day in school , I was cranky ect, guess what in high school I still slept in classes but at least I able to actually pay attention and understand the material I was learning because I was getting more sleep.
That's the problem. Adults choose not to understand because they don't think that it's a good sleep schedule.

I don’t hate school, I hate administrators.
I think school is OK now tbh it's like a every day thing for me now
I'm a teacher and one of my firm beliefs is that standardized tests are damaging our students and their education, particularly in creative problem solving and imagination. I have plenty of coworkers that blame phones, but, me, I blame the tests. I believe they are also mentally damaging just due to stress alone!
Its not just that. When we all get home we are completely burnt out. So we take a nap. Which would be a logical choice. We wake up 6-9 PM. Then remember: Oh man, I forgot to do that assignment. But by the time you wanna even try doing it you have to go to bed again which is definitely hard after just sleeping to get ready for the next day. And this cycle repeats. Every single day. It doesn't just affect someone physically, but also mentally. Which is basically said in the video.

I remember seeing someone make these points in a tiktok, and the comments were full of older adults calling teens lazy and weak, telling them to suck it up and just go to bed earlier. Makes my blood boil sometimes, it's not that easy.
Older adults? More like internet trolls or as one would call a "boomer".
It’s honestly truly sad. This isn’t the same thing but is related in my opinion. The other day I had an elderly man say “I don’t speak in um,um” when I was using a lot of “ums” to remember my order. I have ADHD and dyspraxia and speaking can be hard for me sometimes. It was very huryful, but it’s also hurtful to remember that these sorts of toxic beliefs were taught to them, even beaten in some older people. It’s awful that a lot of people have the mindset that kids nowadays are disrespectful, entitled, etc, just because nowadays people are trying to improve the systems, and because people are now (slightly) more accepting of neurodivergent people. A lot of them seem to have an attitude of ‘we suffered, why shouldn’t they?’ And it’s truly sad, to think of all the children who were basically abused and it was accepted as normal. All the neurodivergent people who were raised in such environments, and continue to be raised in. But it was even more awful back then. How people who stuttered or had problems remembering, or processing information, were treated. And how completely innocent things like lack of eye contact were seen as rude and disrespectful, and how autistic people must have been treated. I know this is long, sorry, I just think it’s interesting.
@Otneimica it doesn’t matter if your brain is scattered, either. It hurts no one. I even read a book once, about the rules of conversation, and it said that words like ‘Um’ were actually an important part of conversation, even though of course certain neurodivergent people may do it more. But whatever the cause, it still is harmless and doesn’t matter. Just using it to collect your thoughts is an important part of conversation making and completely normal, and of you say it because you have a stutter, or similar, it’s okay to. Even if I didn’t have ADHD and a speech disorder, it still would have been hurtful and wrong for him to say. I don’t want to like be mean or anything, but I disagree that there are invalid reasons to use words like ‘Um’.

i wouldve rather been at school fuctionally for longer periods like 10am to even 6pm if it was just 3 days a week. my sleep sched ruined most of my hs since i didnt even start drinking coffee till senior year
100% agree. I would be in favor of extending the school year if it means reducing the weekly demand.
Yay, another reason to hate school.
One other reason some might not know: Homework once was used as punishment, now it has become the norm.

Rick Sanchez was right : " school is a waste of time Jerry, they ring a bell and give you some carton of milk, then u need a stupid cardboard to tell you were and not were to go, it's not a place for smart people" never have I ever agreed more with this guy
School is making my life more miserable every day. Most of it is completely pointless. It's taught me nothing but how to hold back tears. School just takes away the childhood that kids deserve to have - time that could be spent in the real world doing cool and enjoyable stuff but instead it's a constant loop of going to school, doing homework and being too burnt out from it all to do anything but rest. It's ruining childhoods yet nobody wants to speak out about it. Why are we using such a painfully outdated and unethical system to educate people?!
Same, even then I still can't hold in my tears since I can't ever catch a break without being punished for it
I don’t need school to hold back tears! Life already taught me how to do that…

The sad thing is though, that here you are ONLY talking about sleep. Thing is that unhealthy early start times for schools is just one of the dozens of problems that the school system has that not only prevents the students to learn more and more efficiently, but also negatively affects their mental and emotional health
Not only does it take away sleep but the piles and piles of homework they like to give take away the social life of students who are a bit slower with their work. I got to a point where I just flat out refused to do homework so I could actually live my life.
@@flare1921 that’s insane that you had to get to that point. And it’s heartbreaking to think that’s it’s not your fault, or mine, it’s mainly the governments fault for not giving a shit for the education well-being of its citizens
amd not only that, because of the environment of the school has, even the students themselves become an issue to each other, all the drama, the bullies, the situations events, etc. Because of how already the students are usually tired throughout the school, this makes them more irritatable, and more sensitive, more likely to become a "bad egg"
The problem also lies on the children themselves. They always sleep late because of the addiction of using devices and night. It's even not uncommon for children to flex how late they sleep. Even if a school starts at 8 or 9, the pupils will take it for granted and sleep evne later
@@Salad_09Zel that’s also true. However, just like the guy in the video said, if teenagers got to bed earlier, they would just lay in there waiting for their sleep to kick in. I think that you have a point that a lot of kids make it worst by staying up late. But that is not the root of the problem. It’s like saying that if Adults do that then it’s also their problem. Sure but for adults it’s different because the hour at which society and market wakes ups reflects the sleep rhythm of adults. You see what’s happening? It doesn’t start 4am, just like schools shouldn’t start 7am. That’s the root of the problem. Kids make it worse, but when you take that out of the equation kids are stool 2/3 hours short of sleep. And that’s the main point of the video
the sad part is everyone knows how bad it is but nothing will change
Circadian rhythm isn't just for sleep. It's your body's internal clock for every function. Time to eat, sleep, hydrate, etc.

I’m exactly the same like that, I pretty much only have 30 minutes to prepare for school, 10 for changing, 10 for breakfast, and 10 for finishing up. 10 minutes for me is not enough to eat breakfast since I also eat really slow but I do not wish to wake up any earlier than I already do (which is at 5•40-6•00). No matter how much I think I eat, I still end up hungry before my 3rd period and have even occasionally asked my teacher if I could eat a snack because I’m that hungry.

I was the victim. I was always the one sent to the principal's office, or sent to counseling, or detention. I was always the only person who got in trouble.
While bullying faded away around highschool(there's still always that one asshole though) from Elementary to middle school it was always a popular thing among everyone in the school to make fun of the girl who liked Pokemon. _Pokemon._ their reasoning? It was for kids.

That’s not at all how the real world works. It just frustrates me so much.

This is a change that needs to happen. I didn't want to wake up early, go to school, come home, and then do homework for hours everyday as a teen. This is one of the main reasons I would stay up late; I wanted to do something fun and stimulating before I had to be in for curfew. My school started at 7:45am and it was hell since I lived about 45 mins away. They would also give lunch detention, after school detention, or 2-day suspensions for being late, however that makes sense. You missed 5 minutes of the beginning of your class? Miss 2 entire days of learning instead! In my junior and senior year I stopped doing homework most of the time just to catch a break and go enjoy my youth.
It’s almost as if schools don’t realize we want to experience our lives outside of school
And didn't teachers yelled at you or something for not doing hw? But idk maybe your right, my teachers revealed to us what each thing counts in our final grade, 10% behavior, *10% homework*, 70% exams and the other 10% I think is the work you do in class. Honestly I wouldn't even do homework, it's not damn worth it for the 10% of the final grade. I do all things, I do exams, I usually dont behave bad at school and never cause any trouble and always do work in class, not doing homework and doing 90% instead of 100% will not cause any problems, but y'know, my parents, they think that if I dont do a single assignment that's it and that im gonna get a bad grade at the end of the year. Luckily my teachers don't usually give homework and they don't even give a crap because most of my teachers don't even check if we do the homework so actually I almost never do it but tell my parents I do because my teachers don't even check the homework they give us sometimes and just assume we did it

@FallenAngel there needs to be structural change, and in the meanwhile people need to learn to take shit into their own hands. There is no doubt about it that shifting the school schedule forward an hour or two would benefit most people. However, complaining about a problem that you have magnified by making bad decisions is stupid. Shifting school an hour forward would not fix most people’s dysfunctional sleep schedules, it would only accommodate it. In the near future, there will probably be no changes to school schedule, which means you need to figure out why you’re sleeping so late and fix the problem. A small part of the problem is that you’re going through puberty and your sleep phase response is naturally delayed. The elephant in the room that people are willfully ignorant to is that they simply spend too much time on their phones too late at night, during a time where their body is not evolved to deal with. I support pushing school schedules forward an hour and I also think daylight savings time shouldn’t exist but you cant just ignore any personal responsibility
I have heard that blue light makes you more inclined to stay up, but even then, I still get tired when using electronics. I could be wrong about the first part, especially because we as humans probably have better time awareness than our sense for “oh hurr durr a bloo light i gess it’s daytime let’s stay up.”

Well a major point he made was about circadian rhythm so that doesn't apply. And teens need more sleep, and a lack of sleep affects the development of their brains more than adults, but yes work culture is awful in a lot of countries.

My body was basically dismantled by school. When I was a kid, like 13 and younger, I had a really good memory. I could remember everything solidly from the moment I picked up my first book when I was 3. Now, post-high school, I can barely remember anything. Sometimes the events of the day previous are wiped from my mind come the next morning. The level of stress and anxiety I got from school was so great that I would stay up later and later into the night every school night trying to avoid the inevitable turn of the next morning. I retreated further and further into a rapidly unstable mind just to cope with it, and by the end of high school I would commonly fall into delusional fantasies when I got home to escape and have panic attacks daily when at school. The pandemic was a blessing to me because it enabled me to finally escape the hellhole and stay home. But by that point it was my senior year, and I think the damage has already been done. I can't drive a car due to rapid onset anxiety from being in the driver's seat and all that driving entails and how my poor memory could cause problems, and I can't get close to an educational building without shutting down. At this point I don't think I can handle college, partly because I refuse to fall into the pit that is college debt, partly because I can't handle being in educational buildings and working a job feels like climbing Mount Everest. I'm worried about my future, but the larger part of my mind can't seem to care.
What you’re describing is exactly what’s happening to me currently. I don’t live in America, but i think im the equivalent of a sophomore. I actually dropped real life school and im doing online classes instead, but it isn’t any better since i associate school with my room in which i spend all of my free time in, so it’s kind of like being at school 24/7. I’m terribly sorry this happened to you and i genuinely hope that you’ll get better soon
Sending my blessings to you brother🙏
It's like you described my life (except I am in my late 20s), especially the part about escaping reality and staying overnight to do it. My memory is wrecked too, especially when it comes to names like names of cities I've been to or classmates' surnames. I blame bad sleep, I've been sleeping 4-5 hours a day since I was 16 and I think it have damaged my thinking process. I also have a fear of failing at work, probably because of how mistakes were treated in my school (I think it's the case for most schools sadly), that is why I want to escape.
I don't lose hope to somehow normalize my schedule though, and I wish things will get better for you too. From what I see around me, people choose different paths, not everyone works standart 40hrs week in office, there are plenty of professions with more flexible schedule. Work and even studying in college is so much better than school because you can focus on what's interesting to you. And it's also OK to switch profession or field of study, in fact many people I know switched to pursue a different career that suited them better when they were around 25.
are we the same person? you just described me
i might be like u in the next 2 year the first part is the exact same but i couldnt even barely remember anything after i turn 10 ( 1 year ago ) ( some of you might said youtube is 13+ but remember youtube already got strike by cobra law )
A lot of adults tell their kids that “Your teenage years are the best years of your life.” When really you:
- Get next to no sleep almost every night.
- Have to move classes in a few minutes without being late (even if the class is across the school)
- Are expected to act like an adult while being treated like a child.
- Have almost no time for yourself because of homework you get.
- Have to deal with other kids who tend to be way more judgmental around that age.
- Try to ignore all the stress from lack of sleep and schoolwork, etc.
- Deal with your messed up Circadian Rhythm.
- Listen to people tell you over and over that you need to get up early because you’re always late for school.
- Are just always tired and stressed out because of your responsibilities and everything.

I love how school teaches us stress is bad and to reduce stress in our lives and separate ourselves from stress and then force us to go to school the next day and give us I huge project on stress adding more stress to our lives
Aswell as the small amount of sleep that teenagers get, they have to deal with 8 hours of school for no apparent reason, that’s probably half of their day gone just in school. By the time they get home which is around 3-5pm depending on transport, they have approximately 3-4 hours to themselves. To which they are “encouraged” to spend on homework/revision/studying, how are they supposed to have a life out of school, if they are just surrounded with work? The flexibility that college and probably some universities have would be more applicable for high school students, they have major changes as for flexibility after highschool that a highschool student has to deal with on there own. But then school continue to pressurise by saying “it’s going to be tuff”, I guess it would be easier for schools and communities to provide help mentally rather than what’s visible to the eye.
Well said dorm can suck at times but I'm happy at times because my supervisor is good at math
One of the main reasons I liked distance learning so much is that I had so much flexibility in my schedule. I would wake up refreshed at 10.30 and go to class from 12.30 to 3. Then I would rest for about an hour and then do homework until 5-8 depending on the workload. After that I had free time basically until 2am when I would go to sleep. Now, I wake up at 7.10 and have school until 3.05 and come back home at about 3.30-40. I am exhausted so I rest for about 2 hours and start homework at 5.30. I do homework usually to around 7-9 and have free time until 10.30. I usually go to sleep at 12-1am which leaves me with only 6-7 hours of sleep...

Basically, I do my schoolwork from 9 pm to 2 am, relax afterwards until 6 am (games, drawing, nap, etc), then do chores and tasks until 3 (sometimes one or 5) and then that's when I sleep. For some reason I've been able to more than double my daily workload without being nearly as stressed. If I still went to public school I would be struggling and there's no way I would be able to pull this off.

Chronotypes can differ between people and not all of us are meant to work all day and sleep all night, it shifts around between people, depsite what the servant training schools try to tell you
I haven't been in school for a couple years now, but here's what I ALWAYS hated about the US school system and how it made me feel:
-As mentioned, poor sleep. Telling a teenager to go to bed at like 8pm is just not happening (esp with studying), the problem is that these kids wake up BEFORE THE SUN to get ready or even start commuting. It needs to start at like 9am or later imo.
-Memory based testing. It's bad enough for anyone to cram in info and hope it sticks, but it's especially harmful to kids with autism or adhd who literally cannot use their brain the same way and may be unable to keep it all in long term. We need to test on the application of knowledge, and not expect students to know it all after one class/HW assignment
-No management of students. Not in the halls, not in classrooms, not with bullying or violence, like seriously why is so much bad behavior rewarded/ignored? It's extremely overwhelming for the other students, and just tells the kids doing it that they can get away with being bad.
-No time to socialize. There's lunch, but it's 20 minutes if you're lucky, and no recess for teens obviously. You may be at school to learn, but part of that education is learning how to socialize.. sometimes it's even frowned upon to be talkative with other students.
-Less homework, absolutely important to make sure students can learn outside of school, but it all adds up SO FAST. Almost feels like teachers forget you have other classes, you miss one night and suddenly you have like 5 missing assignments, it is SOOO easy to fall behind, especially if you're disabled or have mental health problems.
If it's worth mentioning, I'm also a dropout who happens to have learning disabilities. Covid hit when I was in the middle of my freshman year, spent the rest of that year + sophomore doing online learning and failing upward because they kept passing me. Tried to go back in junior year and I just couldn't do it, the stress was insane and I missed a LOT of school. They tried giving me 504s and such, trying out schedules and classes, but I just couldn't switch my brain back into that level of stress again. It felt impossible to handle so much in so little time. They passed me onto my senior year but I didn't end up graduating for the same reasons, seriously it feels like the system is meant to fail and break their students. Even by 8th grade I was starting to fall asleep in class because my body simply could not keep functioning in the middle of the day.
The first time I fell asleep in class was 5th grade. In the dream, I was stuck in a loop of waking up and realizing it’s a dream, then waking up, realizing it’s a dream and waking up. I could even feel the drool on my face. I also partially could hear my teacher and I wasn’t able to wake up until after class. My teacher was nice enough to let me get extra sleep and didn’t even have to learn whatever junk she was teaching. It was a nice class skip but the fact that I fell asleep in grade 5 is bad.
School when student gets depressed: that is definitely either bullies or videogames.
also school: gives you a ton of assignments and judge students by their grade.
And then they don't even deal with the non-existent bullies
It’s a really dumb mindset to be thinking some numbers on a paper will prove my future, like no there are clearly people who are still doing decent in life without scoring perfect grades on every subject. Having a paper saying you graduated top of your class doesn’t mean you won’t be doing manual labour in the future.

High school schedules, especially those with extracurriculars, are extremely taxing no matter who you are. I remember being in theatre and literally not seeing the sun for whole weeks at a time because you leave before the sun rises, are never allowed outside, and then don’t leave until after sunset. My mental health is so much better now that I’m in college.
More like feeling like in a damm prision, my high school was pretty much like that. I feel so free in college having the front door open at all times
I relate so much with this comment, having time for myself to go outside and do other things while in college has helped me more mentally than I would've expected.
It's sad that schools don't really teach you the real life skills but rather, some useless information that we'll probably never use later in our lives unless we pursue an academic path. That's why a lot of teens are so unprepared for independence when in the past, teens were perfectly capable of surviving on their own because they were forced to learn real life skills. A lot of schools also fail to protect victims of bullying but when the victim stands up for themselves, they get in trouble (this seems to be a common trope in America).
Teens are mollycoddled now days. I considered myself a adult at 16 when I left school. It was time to take responsibility and grow up.
Now days they seem to want to stay and treat you like kids till you are like 20 plus.

Back when I was in high school, around 2002, a teacher read the class a study that experimented with a school that started it's day about 3 hours later than average. Our school day started about 6:45 A.M. This school in the study started at about 10:00 A.M. and their records showed the students doing much better. They were more interactive in class and got better grades. Even back then they knew this and to this day haven't changed it. Those poor students.
The teachers really can’t do shit, if they could they would.

The way school teaches and check your scores is an open invitation to learn and forget 80 % of everything that goes into your brain just for that specific period of time you're gonna need that information
You know what of this sticks with you forever or almost forever?
The process and the habits
Exactly what this opening comment is alluding to
You don't learn 80% of the information but you will forever gain the habit of memorising stuff throughout the same process you used in school
Which also means you risk the possibility of forgetting 80% of the new things you will learn outside of school
Because you will apply school copy paste methods to other new information you're trying to learn
As a student, I can confirm school is destroying my brain. Many of us students are forced upon unrealistic expectations as young kids. These expectations put a stupid amount of stress on us, from constant note taking and listening to lectures to studying for tests and homework. We pretty much have no free time.

As a future teacher, this is the best! We as teachers, and future ones, need to collectively change teaching to be FOR the students and succeeding in life outside of school and not teaching for a TEST.
Yes!! You will be an awesome teacher especially with this mindset!!
100% Agree! I can't stand the fact that the SAT and ACT get to dictate what is important to our young people. Schools gave them the power willingly too!
Yes, that’s exactly what I felt like in high school. It was always about how well we performed on one single test. Also there was this event called “Student of the Month,” where teachers would pick out a student for each subject (like Art, English, etc), and the the crowd in the auditorium would clap for them. I always wanted to get it but never did. Tests shouldn’t be the focal point of school and favoritism shouldn’t be allowed either
I'm so excited to see teachers like this! 😍

@@martinlenker As a high schooler with 3-5 hours of sleep a human teen won’t be strongly capable of physical functions. It is not natural for humans to wake up in a pattern too early. It is awful. When I wake up I wait for the day to pass until I’m done in school. I don’t know how other people are doing. Also, my school starts at like 7:24am. If I was driving a car at approximately 6:55am to get to school around 7:08am where there is some distance, buses and traffic I would not exactly be doing a great job. Sometimes the visibility where there are pedestrians isn’t good during certain periods of the year when it is darker earlier before the next daylight savings cycle. My sleep is shit. I lack motivation to do a lot of things. I can’t imagine myself at a job after school. My energy is emptied a couple hours after my school day. I’m pretty sure I don’t even have a desire to get the right amount of exercise either. The food I consume throughout the day is pretty bland and I usually don’t do good with that.
I have to wake up at 6:00 to get ready for school everyday, then get on the bus around 7:00 and arrive at school around 7:30. First bell rings at 7:50 and class starts at 8:00 then we have 6 classes. If it's a day where we have "AdViSoRy" then we have 7 classes. School ends at 2:32 and the bus gets you home by 3:30 (any later and the buses will be late for the elementary school runs)
If you have sports, you'll usually be busy from 3:00pm to 5:00pm or 6:00pm every weekday, with games usually on Saturdays. If you do marching band, then you'll be showing up almost everyday from 6:00pm to 9:00pm for practice out on the school fields.
For me, this means that school and sports take up at least 8.5 hours of my day. Add in the ideal amount of sleep (8 to 10 hours) then that would be around 16.5 to 18.5 hours of my day used up, and that isn't even with Homework time added in. (It's really just too variable to use, but I would say at least 1.5 hours a day)

The sad thing is, the school system is developed by adults, not teens, so they're just designing it in a way to fit their needs while completely neglecting the children's.
This connects to a more general problem in our society of people borderline gaslighting teenagers into thinking that their problems are just them "being angsty." This is a very subtle form of widespread emotional abuse, and it can lead to mental health issues in teens, as they don't want to express their issues in order to "not feel like a burden."

- how sometimes they don’t let use doodle on work or paper
-don’t let us be unprofessional/creative with our work
or its forced
5:20 is SO TRUE i just go to bed at like 10 30 and dont sleep till 12 or 1 sometimes
look, i know we're kids/teenagers, and i know we're lazy and rebellious or whatever, but if atleast 99.9% of us can agree that school is destroying us, then there must be something incredibly wrong
