Middle schoolers are fine with the current schedule

LOL, no, they're not at all.  C2 it is.  E defeats the whole point of this exercise by not shifting MS late enough, and causes everyone else to shift as well. "Ease of communication"? What a horsesh!t justification... "Dear parents, next year Larla's school will be shifting their bell schedule to <X>".  Doesn't really matter what X is for communication purposes.[/quote]

E will be chosen as it’s the least disruptive. Everyone will have to compromise by 30 minutes. [/quote]

It is the most disruptive! Literally that schedule is only good for middle school. Seriously, anyone thinking ES should be going to school till 4:35 and getting home past 5, is insane, especially for middle schoolers to get 30 extra mins of sleep. [/quote]

So you really just mean it’s the most disruptive for elem kids. This study is about what’s best for middle schoolers.[/quote]

DP... not really, that's what driving it, but in making a decision affects students at all levels, and all will be considered.

There's generally only one year's worth of MS students who would ever be "disrupted" by a change (whoever happens to be starting 8th when the change is implemented, or 7th/8th at the 6-8 MS), for everyone else it will just be the normal schedule when they enter MS. Fortunately, the disruption is for the better for their physical and mental health and ability to learn, so doesn't seem like a big deal either way. All the surrounding logistics of before/after school care or extracurriculars or whatever else will adjust.[/quote]
