Six out of ten teenagers have jobs or other responsibilities that reportedly make their afternoons and evenings busy, making it difficult to wake early and rested for school.

Teenagers are more likely than younger children to stay up late, but they still need an adequate amount of sleep to be ready to learn.

Many teenagers have reported a tendency to skip breakfast, which some nutritionists consider the most important meal of the day, altogether.

Answer 1

The response that fails to support the claim in a meaningful way is:

"Many teenagers have reported a tendency to skip breakfast, which some nutritionists consider the most important meal of the day, altogether."

This reason does not directly relate to the timing of school starting later for high school students compared to elementary or middle school students. While skipping breakfast can affect learning and concentration, it does not specifically address the need for later start times based on teenagers' unique sleep patterns or attention issues in the early morning. The other reasons are more directly linked to the cognitive and physiological needs of teenagers.
