The first patient to be in sick kids was maggie a scolding victim. That year 44 patients were treated at sickkids 67 others were treated in outpatient care.

...as a children has many positive aspects, it ensures the adequate development of bones and muscles, it regulates the metabolism, promotes socialization and, if practiced properly, is a very pleasant and enjoyable way for children to have fun while staying healthy. “Sport can affect a child’s development of self-esteem and self-worth. It is also within sport that peer status and peer acceptance is established and developed.” Dr. Robert (Children and Sport: An Introduction ) . From an early age, our children lead a sedentary life, they spend many hours in bed, then they go to kindergarten or school most of the time getting a ride from mom's car or using public transportation, where they remain for seven to eight hours a day, if not more. Then back home, so they can do their homework and after that if not earlier they watch television, have dinner and go to bed. The result is a real small amount of body activities during the day. This such sedentary lifestyle can lead to the overweight problem and even worst if is been associated with an improper diet as we know how easy is to overindulge in snacks and meals while sitting in front of the television, and that can cause the risk if not stopped in time that there can be an increase on the cholesterol values and an elevation in blood pressure, that can lead to cardiovascular problems in adulthood. There are many motor skills that can be acquired from an early age by playing...

...“Kids who are tired can't learn at their best, and sleep deprivation impairs learning, memory, and attention as much as it impairs health and overall well-being” (Start school later). Many kids and teens are sleep deprived because of the times they have to get up in the morning for school. With homework, sports, jobs, and other things kids have to get done at home before it’s time for them to go to bed it could be very challenging for them to get to bed at a normal time. Middle schools should start later in the morning because it is too early for kids to get up and get ready, students need to be more awake and focused in class and on school work, and it is hard for students to get to class on time when tired. It is too early for kids to...

...Should high school classes begin later in the day and end later of the natural sleep clock? No because teenagers have jobs in the afternoon when they get out of school and teenagers don't want to be late for there job. Some people have kids they have to go pick up after school at a certain time of the day. If we go to school later in the day it will be so many hours we have to stay in school, people probably tired and have stuff to do after school. Teenagers have practices for sports or any type of activities in school and they have to be there a certain time. In my opinion classes shouldn't start later or end later of the because it will stressful to get things done in the day. Mostly, teenagers that are in high school have jobs...

...changing the time will have several consequences. Early is on time, and on time is late. With school times being later, students will be more lax and less focused on the lesson. Therefore, school should not be held at a later time. This is necessary because students will be able to have more time after school to complete tasks and do their hobbies. In addition, students who come out of school earlier, are happier than those who have to arrive and stay at school longer. Furthermore, it is scientifically proven that early times have little to no effect on the academics of a student. Finally, while starting school later gives students more time to sleep, it ultimately can cause a large disruption in the schedule of parents and transportation. There are several...

...I woke up grumpy and annoyed by the constant buzzing sound of the alarm clock. “I should be sleeping right now. Not waking up at 6 AM.” I grumbled to myself as I slowly got ready for another day of school. People often ask their friends and themselves why we have to get up early almost everyday and be at school by 8:45 or 7:30. (Debate.org) According to the data collected from students, 79% say that school should start later, while the remaining 21% oppose the idea. One student who supports the idea stated that she had observed her sister through her high school years. She said that if her sister’s school had started later, and ended later, then she would be ready to learn and the chance of her falling asleep during class decrease. Another student claimed that a average teenager need about 9.5 hours of sleep a night, but study shows that teens usually get about 7.5 hours. Their claim was that you can’t concentrate when you are tired, and if you were taking a exam, you would need concentration. Other students share that they don’t have time for breakfast, they are stressed in the morning hours and they feel rushed. Though the students are correct, the other 21% is also correct. Students...

...No Homework! I think that schools should not make their students have homework, because it causes health issues/stress, less time for other activities, and they don't have help or assistance. Kids should not have homework every night for a very long time after they had already been in schools for 7 hours or more. So these are some reasons why kids do not need to have a lot of homework after school every day monday-friday for many years. First, Kids do not have enough time for other things if they are always having to do their homework after school. According to Harris cooper kids should get 10 minutes of homework times their grade level so kids can do other things to. Harris cooper is the chairman of the “Battle against homework” at Duke university. One way this interferes with family/friend time. This makes kids not have as much friends if they can’t hang out with them.Kids have so much homework every day the are never out of their room and with their family until they have to go bed. And then the same thing repeats every night the entire school year. Also, kids go to their friends house and then at around 10 o'clock at night they have to do a lot of homework so they are tired the next day. Next, Homework is not even to improve academics so kids can’t be with their parents just to do something that doesn’t even make them smarter....

...the morning and most people would agree. The average start time for high schools in America is 8:03 which is before the recommended start time of 8:30. Why does school start early? The majority of U.S. middle and high schools start their school days too early, not letting young people get enough sleep for development and academic success. One of the reasons schools should start later is that they are not starting at the recommended time set by the American Academy of Pediatrics of 8:30. A new study was published from the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) that states that less than one in five middle and high schools in America starts...

...Are you rushing out of the house with toast dangling from your mouth, or are you casually driving to school in the front of your mother's shiny new van, ten minutes early? Schools across America have been starting school later, so kids can get in that extra hour of sleep. Other schools have kept the usual schedule of starting class at 8:00 am. The starting time for schools shouldn’t be delayed because of transportation, kids after school activities, and the cost. To start of, the schools transportation system would be affected if the starting time changed. According to the Issaquah School District, “Many districts use the same buses for elementary, middle, and high schools.” Changing start time, and bus schedules, could lead to serious safety issues. Students would either have to be at the bus stop early, or walk home in the dark. This could lead to many problems including a higher risk of student victim crimes. Also if students are getting home late, they will have no time for homework causing them to stay up even later to finish...

...that I should not be allowed to parent my own children. Though all of that is true sometimes, I assure you I am not as crazy as I sound, that my children are healthy and happy, and that most of the time they really do like me. Since having children, I have noticed some things. I have noticed that every time I see a smattering of stick people stickers on the back of a minivan, my soul dies a little. That commercials really are brainwashing my kids into thinking they need whatever new sugar frosted chocolate bombs in the shapes of kitties and bunnies cereal Kellogg’s has released this month. That if we don’t trek our children to Disneyworld before they are 5 years old, I’m pretty sure Walt Disney himself will rise from the dead and smite us all. But most of all, I have noticed the multitude of ways that we are ruining our children. 1. Participation trophies. Participation trophies are the biggest load of bull I have ever witnessed. The only time they are appropriate is if your child is playing in a 3 year old soccer league (quite frankly, I can’t believe this exists), and all they do is run around in circles, pick at the grass and their nose, and dig for bugs in the middle of the field. If they can make it through an entire game, they deserve a trophy. But everyone else, not so much. Let me let you in on a little secret that you might not want to hear, folks. Everyone isn’t a winner. Every one of you, at some point in your life, has been a loser. So have your kids. And so...

...really tired in the morning and wish you were back in your warm comfortable bed, well I have. That is why I think that school start times should start later. The reasons why I think we should change the school start time is because of kids mental health, physical health, and for kids ability to stay awake during school or other activities. The first reason we should start school later is because of the kids' mental health. It shows that, “Sleep deprivation increases the likelihood teens will suffer myriad negative consequences, including an inability to concentrate, poor grades, drowsy-driving incidents, and anxiety.” This shows that there will be negative consequences for teenagers if they don’t get enough sleep....
