[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC parent here. Curious how this is for your teens. We are unhappy parents at a DC public school considering moving. The start time for DCPS High Schools is 9am which is one of the only things they do that is smart. How are your kids' sleep habits with such an early start. Most research points to the reverse schedule for (older kids need to start later) and curious why MCPS is set up like this. Not sure if this issue has come up before or if they are considering changing it? MCPS Level Time Length of Day High School 7:45 a.m.–2:30 p.m. 6 hours, 45 minutes Middle School 8:15 a.m.–3:00 p.m. 6 hours, 45 minutes Elementary School Tier 1 9:00 a.m.–3:25 p.m. 6 hours, 25 minutes Elementary School Tier 2 9:25 a.m.–3:50 p.m. 6 hours, 25 minutes[/quote] It has been discussed at length. Many parents want the older kids home first to babysit. Kids who need jobs in HS need the afterschool time to work. This beats out the research.[/quote]
