I don’t know, why would kids want to sleep over? Maybe because they need it.

Kids are overworked and overscheduled, that's the real problem here.

Teens need to sleep later. That’s the real problem here.

Really? That's not the only problem, yes they need more sleep, but si many ppl are worried about all of the homework and activities. Sounds to me like kids have too much on their plates and need to pull back a bit.

What does the hw and activities have to do with you complaints about not wanting to push time to an appointment time?

There is so much research on the topic that teenagers need more sleep and that their biological clocks are wired for them to go to bed later and wake up later. CA is requiring all high schools to start no earlier than 8.30 am starting this fall:

MCPS is so far behind! Right now, for example, other schools are returning to online instruction because of rising case numbers but MCPS isn't even discussing this. They keep putting our children at risk.

Yes, we're falling behind other places! Shut it down and bring back the mask mandates!

So these kids aren't going to bed when they're tired and you want the government to solve this for them?

Have you ever checked? They have a natural shift in their circadian clock. Don’t look it up, you are much too stupid to grasp it.

They aren’t tired. You want the government to dictate, I want science to.
Nice try but fail.

My HS started early and I lived to tell about, most adults here probably the same. In MoCo, it is not going to change for all the reasons many have already listed.

Want a change? You can move somewhere else, or, work to change the system. However, know that it's been tried before and failed, and the MCPS people in charge can outwait you. You and your students are transient. They will be in place forever

No, that’s normal but since your kids don’t have either they can go to bed earlier.
