【推荐3】Now most Chongqing primary school start morning classes an hour later. This does help students feel less tired. These schools begin the first class at about 9 o’clock in the morning. The students are happy about the change.
Liu Ming from Hope Primary School told us that his classmates were excited by the news on the first day of the school. “Great! From now on, I don’t have to get up so early.” Liu said. He got up at 6:40 before, and now he can get up at 7:50 a.m. because class doesn’t start until 8:50 a.m. Wu Hong felt the same. She said the new timetable was good for her health. “I got up at 6:30 a.m. before.”
“I had to drink coffee every night, or I would feel too sleepy to finish my homework.” said Wu Hong. “Now I can finish it without coffee, because I can sleep a little longer.”
Many teachers say the change can help students learn better. “Students used to doze(打瞌睡)for the first two classes in the morning,” said Huang Shan, an English teacher at No.1 Primary School. “But now they are active and learn much better than before.”
But some parents are worried that more sleep means less learning. There were five classes in the morning. But now there are only four.
In fact, every coin has two sides. So does the change in the school timetable.
