[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you stopped to consider later start time would be an issue with activities and homework?   If kids don't get home till 4:30, everything would just be shifted later and kids would go to bed later, so that really doesn't fix anything.[/quote]

That's funny. My younger kids go to private school and go to bed at reasonable times, even with activities. Late start times are so much healthier for teens. It's not like there is any medical expert who disagrees. It's funny how so many people claim to be concerned about kids' mental health but aren't willing to entertain this universally agreed-upon adjustment that would benefit the health of teenagers.

Younger kids are not high school kids.  Your kids are probably not having homework and multiple activities, some twice a night do you don’t get it.  They are not healthier.  Going to bed at a decent hour is.  So, if you had later start times, my kids could not start homework till after nine vs coming home, homework and early dinner then activities. [/quote]

Sorry - that didn't make sense. My younger kids are teenagers. I was going to compare them to my older kids who went to public school to stress how much less exhausted the private school kids due to the later start times.[/quote]
