Imagine you want to convince the local school board that changing the high school start time from 710 a.m. to 830 a.m. would benefit all students. Which appeal would most likely move this audience t?

Answer 1

I know how much it frustrates you when I sleep through my alarm and have to ask you to drive me to school. I know I would be able to get up on time if I were able to set my alarm a little later.

Answer 2

Your problem with this is the school district has to have a certain number of minutes a day for the school day set by the state. They just can't willy nilly change the school day without permission from the state department of education. The state also requires an audit each year from each district and each school on the total number of minutes students are in class. Foggy days, snow days, school holidays, short days, class passing times, lunch times, recess or breaks minutes are all included in the report. Schools will sometimes blend minutes to squeeze more out of the school day in classroom room time. My school would combine the morning break and passing time to squeeze more minutes in the classroom on a foggy day schedule. The regular day break was 15 minutes, but on a foggy day it was 10 minutes with 5 minutes of passing time part of the 10, so in reality the break was 5 minutes. Schools like to "bank" minutes and have the state see them having more classroom minutes.
