Come to Discussions Prepared Practice Test
•10 QuestionsYour class is holding a discussion about whether schools should start later in the morning. For homework, students had to research at least one credible source (study, government health site, or major news outlet that cites research) and bring one statistic to support their view. Which response shows the strongest use of preparation?
A) “Teenagers are always tired, so starting later would obviously help.”
B) “According to the American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement on school start times (often cited in school sleep research), they recommend middle and high schools start at 8:30 a.m. or later to better match teen sleep cycles. That recommendation makes me think a later start is supported by medical experts, not just opinions.”
C) “I saw a video where someone said later start times are better, so I agree.”
D) “I think it depends on the school, because everyone has different schedules.”
