  Are you feeling sleepy in class?I remember that I used to get up at eight when I was young.And we didn't use to do homework.But now, everything has changed.

  For 12-year-old Liu Xiangjian, the most difficult thing in life is getting up at 5:50 a. m.every school day.

  “I don't want to get up so early, but I used to be afraid of being late,”the six-grade Beijing primary school student said,“I want more sleep.”

  Liu has breakfast at 6∶15 a. m.and after a 30-minute bus ride, arrives at school at 7 a. m.Like most of his 28 classmates, Liu arrives at school a full hour before lessons start at 8 a. m.

  In 2007, a survey of 2500 schoolchildren in six cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, it was found that about 77% students were short of sleep.

In a recent survey made by the China Daily website, almost 70% of the 1,130 respondents said that they agreed with cutting school hours, while 22% disagreed and 10% had no comment.

  Although their children spend long hours at school, many parents arrange for them to take more studies.

  Liu's mother, Wang Qunyu, who teaches at a high school in Beijing, thinks her son is still not doing enough to win a place at a good quality high school.

  “Of course I want my son to have more sleep, more exercise and more fun,' she said,“but the common saying is that if you give your child a happy childhood in China, you give him a failed future.”

  Something must be done to change people's traditional thought that a college diploma(毕业证)is a ticket to a good job.
