[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All kids need a break between school and after school activities. It's already a very short break for late start ES schools. Getting them home at 5:00 and going straight to activities without a break is a nightmare at any age.

ANY AGE. No kids should get home at 5pm. NONE.[/quote]But this is what the middle schoolers do!  They go to school from 7-2pm and then go immediately to their clubs—no break, no dinner, no home, and then they either attend 1 or 2 clubs back to back before any break or food. [/quote]

And that's a good thing? No breaks or time to be a kid?  Man, kids are so overscheduled.[/quote]The kids are exhausted.  They should have an earlier and more age appropriate start to their morning.  They are setting alarms at 5:30am for their school day.  They need and deserve the 8am start time. [/quote]

The high schoolers?

Definitely.

Some of them are at school until 10 or 1q PM

They definitely need to keep the 8AM start time.

If not the high schoolers, then the 7 to 8 years of elementary school.

The 9:45 start will be perfect for middle schoolers.

They can sleep late, then be in school learning until around 4:30 PM, home around 5:00 PM.

It will keep them supervised in the afternoon and keep them from creating havoc at the local ahopping areas between 2:45-4:30 when they are running around and harrassing paying customers.

Giving MS the latest start time is perfect.
