Ep 65. Should Schools Start Classes Later? Ft. Dr. Greg Wells

The Teacher Hotline

I'm a night owl and would love to start work at 11am if possible! Im sure your students wouldn't mind as well! Have you ever thought about what school would look like if we started classes later? Would students be more engaged? Would there be less lates? Would students be more awake and excited for school?
