[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS should keep tweaks as minimal as possible while meeting their transportation goals. If they need to make large shifts in time for some schools, limit it to choice schools and programs. Wholesale flipping around of start times would have far reaching implications beyond the school day, from those that have already been mentioned, to stresses on facility and sports scheduling- pools, fields, gyms, etc. MS and HS should end their school days earlier to give students time to both participate in extracurricular activities and still have time to get homework and studying completed. Not to mention that it allows older siblings to be available to care for younger ones or hold a desperately needed part time job. Tweaks ok, massive shifts not.[/quote] MS students are not old enough to hold jobs, and the system should NOT work around making them childcare for younger siblings, either! That’s way too much for MS students, who are just kids themselves, trying to recover from the pandemic. [/quote]
