Welcome to the official TSV thread! Here I will introduce you to a movement that will shake the web very soon.
The site is ready, and now we need the members! Call this thread what you will, I will firmly say it is not spam, almost everyone on these forums can relate to this! So, here we go...
Our Purpose:
Is to change the early start of schools, pushing them to a later time in the day. 8 0 A.M to 2 0 P.M. Or perhaps even 9 A.M. to 3 P.M. Foreign continents, Europe especially, run their school schedules in these later time frames with great success. Of course, one may say that pushing the start time later will result in getting released from school later. However, if students are more attentive in classes, there will be no need for the extra hours. Shaving off a half hour or even an hour at the end of school would not hurt in the least.
Waking up at 6 A.M. every morning induces stress on students across the United States, and studies have shown that students with more sleep perform much better on tests and are more attentive in classes. We want to see how many students NATIONWIDE we can get to join this movement. Think about it... Almost every elementary, middle, and high schooler dislikes school in one way or another, no matter how important it may be. We want our voice to grow, and by using the power of the internet for the FIRST TIME EVER, thousands or even millions of students can help make this voice become louder. This petition will give an infinite amount of students a chance to finally voice their individual complaints!
On a curious note, imagine the attention we could receive with thousands of kids joining this movement/petition. Intriguing, no? Help out your fellow classmate, and do what's right. Make your voice be heard no
Well, thats about it in a nutshell. Check out our site for more information, and be sure to SIGN UP (and sign the petition!).
