[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They start late because they share busses. So it depends on when the Middle School and High School start. [/quote] This. Our ES starts at 9:00, our MS starts at 8:15 and our HS starts at 7:45. Every once in a while MCPS does a study on options for making the HS start time later. The biggest roadblock is the cost of purchasing additional busses, which the county wants to avoid. [/quote] Yup. They could have fixed this by building more ESs and making them nearly all walking. [/quote] The problem isn't always proximity - it is also safe routes to school. Yes, if we were willing to overhaul our car-centric culture and create dedicated walking paths for every neighborhood, that would be ideal. But residents often oppose sidewalks, and we have oriented our urban design around cars rather than pedestrians. Fix that, and in 10 years we can maybe revisit the question of start times. [/quote]
