Biased Article 

http://educationnext.org/do-schools-begin-too-early/#comments

My article talks about whether highschoolers should have a early arrive or a late arrive. It's kind of biased for several reasons. One being on how the article is based off the opinion of one person. The author seems to be well educated, but fails to have hard facts to back up his article. This article is a research paper for his school and that makes it seems like he favors students rather then school boards from where he stands. He wasn't very detailed where he got his information and facts. I read the reviews and may other folks agreed on his theorem,but mention that he doesn't have hard evidence and facts to back him up.   

The author seems to be biased to himself since he's still a student. He wrote this research paper for his school to take a stand towards his belief. In his conclusion, he mentions and suggest on how school districts should run their schools. That's how I knew it was more about his opinion rather then a research paper. His intended audiences seems to school leaders, because as a student he tries to prove to them why schools should start later. There is no equal consistence, he doesn't mention the pro's and con's about the situation. He wasn't very detailed on where he got his information and facts. He did have some reliable sources, but failed mention where he found his data. Finding good hard data on increased performance is difficult to find for several reasons such  as watching less TV, eating more healthy, and going to sleep earlier.
