This small change makes a big difference. Why? Most teens are very tired early in the
morning. They usually don't go to bed until after midnight In the morning, they wake up

Everyone has a body clock. An adult's body clock works like this: most adults get tired between
9:00 and 11:00 at night. They usually go to bed before midnight. Adults can get up early in the
morning. It's not a problem. But a teen's body clock is different. Teens don't get tired at

The schools in Minnesota pay attention to the teen's body clock. They change the start of the
school day from 7:20 a.m. to 8:40 a.m., 80 minutes later. Other schools in the United States
change their start times too. Some schools change the time by only 30 minutes, but they still
get good results.
( 2 ), the results are amazing! ③(Many) students are on time. Morning classes are easier
to teach. Students are getting ①(good) grades. Students have fewer illnesses, so they are
⑤(little) absent. In Minnesota, there is another important effect: fewer students drop out of
school or change schools.
D
Today, more and more high schools are starting later. Most schools can't start two hours
later.
But they can change the start time a little. A small change can make a very big
difference! Just ask the students.
