Each child requires a different amount of sleep. My theory is to see how hard it is for them to wake up. They should be waking up refreshed and with little dificulty. If so, then the time they go to sleep is fine (or even later). However, if you need a garden hose to wake them up, then go to bed earlier.\n\nPersonally, I always needed very little sleep and never had a problem waking up. In high school, I typically went to bed between midnight to 1:00am and would wake up at 6:00am, often before the alarm. In my later years (aka today) I typically retire for the night at 2am and am up by 6:00am. (Speaking of which, it is almost bedtime)

What do you mean by "stay home at the age of 13?"\n\nAll depends on what you mean by staying up LATE?

You can't do it too late on a school night.

Studies show that teenagers need more sleep so many recommend that school start later, however it is usually early so that students can travel to part time jobs, or attend sporting events after school.

I think you are asking whether or not children should be permitted to work on their homework during school hours.  If that is not your question, then please rephrase it.\n\nIt seems there is no good reason why a student should not work on their homework during school hours if they have a free study period, or during lunch hour if they choose, so as to have more free time after school.  Indeed, I am at a loss to understand what arguments might be raised on the other side.  Of course, if a student is doing homework from one class while sitting in another class, and therefore not paying attention to the class he is in, that is not right, and the teacher would be justified in insisting he put it away and pay attention.

It won't be. There are many phases of a child's life, and this is but one of them.\n\nYou have to do what you are doing: firmly establish that homework is part of the nightly ritual, and stick to it. She is testing you right now, unconciously, and if you don't waiver, she'll know that you won't be bent on this.\n\nFrom my experience, the earlier in the evening you do this, the better. Later in the evening, the kids have eaten, they are tired, and they may have some anxiety that they won't be able to get the work done before bed, or won't have any time after their homework to do things they like, and will be sent straight to bed.\n\nDoing it earlier gets around all of this.

They are in school about 7 hours.(8:30 am - 3:30 pm is typical)\nIf they belong to a club, they are there for more hours.(- 5:30 pm)\nThey have 6 classes a day(1 class : about 1 hour).\nLunch time is between 12 - 1 pm.\nThey use the 12 hour clock.

At school 9am-3pm approx. Dinner at 6pm. 6-9 or 10pm out terrorising the neighbourhood.\n\nIn Britain, a student is at college or university. Someone aged 11 would be a schoolboy/girl.

I'd say 10:30 or 11\nanytime after that you're probably just sleeping over at a friend's house...

I wonder why teenage vandals are allowed out in the week by their parents. Don't they have homework to do? When I was at school I did at least 2 hours homework every night, and wasn't allowed out on a 'school day'. I think the blame lies squarely at the feet of the parents of these morons for not raising their children to value education as a way out of poverty and ignorance.

they severely limit a teens ability to socialize and blow off steam after high school and without that downtime then stress builds tension rises fights break out more often kids get more rebellious drugs rise(used to calm down that and at my school too many kids do pot,crack, whatever)\n\nits just not a good idea unless the curfew is for say a really late time like "no hanging out at friends houses or parties after midnight or 1 am" not 10 :00\n\nits just unreasonable what with studying and homework or stupid projects

The school my kids go to has a pretty clear definition of what amount of homework to expect a night for each grade.\n\n1st - 10 minutes\n2nd - 20 minutes\n3rd - 30 minutes\n4th - 40 minutes\n5th - 50 minutes\n6th - 60 minutes\n\nAlso, they do not have weekend homework.  Sometimes there are assignments due in a few days, so those can get thrown in there too.

as far as sleeping habit is concern, it depends on the age. younger age needs a complete hours of sleep-8 hrs. for their health and to have a normal growth and brain relaxations. on the age of teen-age - needs also a complete hours of sleep for the conditoning of their body system, specially if the teens are energetic and sports minded. on the age of maturity-thats 20 above- the hours of sleeps decreases a little bit, because of their extra curicular activities. on the age of 35 and above sleeping habits decreases again because of hormones and being active in physical aspects of their way of living. at the age of 50 above, the sleeping habits now normally gets 6 hours. and this is normal to ageing people, because of some personal reasons, or maybe lack of vitamins or hormonal imbalance., but still its normal regarding sleeping habits is concern.

most people's brains are more receptive a little while after they've been up and about, had breakfast etc. So biologically speaking, it's stupid to make ppl roll out of bed and arrive at school half-asleep - just a waste of taxpayer money. Read the link below.

Maslow's hierachy of needs fits in well here.  children learn best when all their needs are met.  So it would depend on if they came into school hungry and sleepy then they would not learn well that morning.  Your question really cannot be answered because every child learns differently and it would not be fair to lump all your studnets into one group
