[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I agree with this. My middle schooler may not enjoy getting up early, but he enjoys school ending early enough so that he can do an after school activity at school, and still make it to his non-school sports practice/have time for homework.  If transportation problems are the real issue, let’s focus on that.  [/quote]

Which MS in Arlington is giving homework? Name names. [/quote]
Hamm gives homework.  Not much but it’s there.[/quote]

Williamsburg gives homework too.  Not a huge amount for most classes, but intensified math classes can get long some nights. [/quote]
