[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8 and 8:30 am. I know MCPS delayed to 7:45 several years ago. But is that enough?[/quote]

They already went over this and the problem is that changing high school times would negatively impact elementary and middle school times [/quote]

Blah blah blah.I spent years and years waiting for elementary school to start at 9:25. My kids would get up at 6:30 and there almost 3 hours til school started. Send those kids to school earlier![/quote]

Seriously. If they are concerned about health, the High School and elementary school start times should be flipped.[/quote]

You don't want early elementary students waiting in the dark for the bus.  Doesn't matter if you start high school at 7:30am or 11:30am, kids will be tired and the kids that are late will still be late.  Also starting high school earlier allows for more options for extracurriculars and for them to work part time jobs.  Suck it up, drink some caffeine and go to school.  [/quote]

But I only care about my kid who is in HS. I don't really care about your ES being tired and kid waiting in the dark.[/quote]
