Alana is writing an argument with a claim that schools should have later start times because youth need more sleep than adults do. which counterclaim would best help balance the claim in her argument? while a later start time has immeasurable benefits, it is uncertain whether students will actually use the margin of time for rest. if students think they need later start times, it is because they lack the self-discipline to meet the expectations of the adult world. changing school start times most likely will create great inconvenience for both parents and teachers. later start times may mean that students and teachers do not get home until after dark.
