[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle Schoolers got shafted. Poor kids. [/quote]

No high schoolers did! Poor kids that like sports and other extracurricular.  You will all be thrilled when you need a teachers conference or you child needs extra help.  Ooooh can't wait to see those posts.  You get what you asked for!!!

Right now, with its very early HS start times, Fairfax County is very much in the minority in the U.S.

Nearly 54 percent of all U.S. public high schools already have start times between 8 and 9 a.m. Another 33 percent have start times between 7:30 and 8 a.m.

Less than 10 percent of all U.S. high schools have start times before 7:30. FCPS is now in that 10 percent. 
You can see the stats yourself: http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/SASS/tables/sass1112_201381_s1n.asp

So, most public high schools have start times later than our current ones. And they have for years. Yet somehow [i]they[/i] manage to have sports and extracurriculars and teachers' conferences and the world has not ended either. It won't end here on the first day of school next fall.
