Why are Children Lacking Sleep?
Just how important is school nowadays?Teachers often complain that homework
is not done well and that students are often arriving at school delayed and
yawning through lack of sleep.
There are,it seems, two main explanations for this. Firstly, many young
children stay up late to watch TV programmes suitable for them,which may finish
as late as 8:00. No child wants to admit
not having seen what everybody else has.
Secondly, a growing number of older children, particularly those
approaching school-leaving age are taking up parttime evening or weekend work.
They feel that working experience, not academic qualification will help them
find jobs on leaving school. One can sympathize with both groups of children but
it doesn‘t make a teacher’s life any easier. |
