The only reason later start times is DOA is because MCPS and the BOE fail to put the needs of students first. If Dr. McKnight was serious about her slogan for the school year then she would support the idea.

Yes they fail to put the needs of some students ahead of other students to address the whims of a some parents who fail to grasp your actions affect others

This. Wealthy parents can't get their kids to bed at a reasonable time and claim early starts harm their children. They fail to realize that not everyone is in the same situation. Find a new hobby please, this one has been discussed and decided.

You wish you were wealthy. This isn’t a “my situation is different from theirs”. It’s about sleep pattern of teens. Go wash dishes.

Yes…but that is a paid service that not everyone can afford. People who can’t get back to pick up by 4 already have to pay for after care, which means paying for both. DC schools start a full hour earlier- only have to pay for aftercare.

Besides the bountiful research showing that it is better for teens to start school later, it makes no sense for the younger kids to wait so late to start.

So dismiss the older kids needs.

Or dismiss the younger kids needs?

The younger kids rise earlier you idiot.

It's the government's responsibility. I shouldn't have to parent!

You aren’t parenting if you need the school to babysit your kids.

Comments like this one and the "go wash dishes" PP are why MCPS will never move start times. The most vocal folks on the issue are the most openly classist, privileged, nasty, parts of the parent community and it always always comes out eventually.

I know and those young children are hardly even people. They don't need sleep but my kid does!

That's because they go to bed earlier. This is just a parenting issue. If this is a big concern, try giving your kids a bedtime.

It’s pretty standard across the country or becoming so.

Thia happened about 5 years ago. Board and Admin sympathetic, but transportation problematic for getting Older siblings home to watch the ES kids.

Why is it the older students responsibility to watch elementary kids? I don’t have both, why don’t have an elementary kid, why do my children have to bend for that? Where are the parents?

I know! Why can't their nanny take care of it! What's wrong with these people!

Of course! Why didn't I think of that! Thanks for clearing this up.

Says the one who is generalizing and stereotyping. Go wash your dishes.

The circadian clock is adaptable and can be changed by going to be at a set time, your argument is invalid.

Uh, no. Your “argument” is not even one.

You can be adaptable and allow their circadian clock to be what it is.

It was worth a try. Maybe I can make something else up because this is super inconvenient for me so I'm hoping I can bully others into changing.

I’m not sure I understand your comment. I teach at a high school with majority lower income kids and they go to bed crazy late. Many of them either sleep through first period or come late (towards the end of first period). Some of them work at restaurants and often get home from work at 1 am. They would greatly benefit from a later school start.

Yes, the poster who says wealthy can’t get their kids to bed just pulled that out of her ass. She had nothing else and is resentful.
