Let secondary schools start later in the day.

Psychologists have proven that teenagers would benefit from schools starting later in the day and ending later in the day (I.e: start- 11:15 end- 5:25). Teenagers are more inclined to stay up later and wake up later, so schools starting early can wreak havoc on their natural need to stay up later.
