[quote=Anonymous]This topic of later start times for HS was brought up some years ago, and the issue was with the school bus schedules; it was going to require a bunch of new buses to be purchased, since right now the same buses which take h.s. students to school later take elementary students to school. From what I have read, there is no talk of sending elementary school students to school earlier, by the way. My high schoolers don't want to have their school day start and end any later; they say it wouldn't give them enough time to relax in the evening, especially when they have an afterschool activity. As it is, if a sporting event they are participating in runs late, some nights they come home, eat, and then have start on their assignments right away, so they can get to bed at a decent hour. You can't expect kids to excel in all the advanced classes they are expected to take and not give them sufficient time to unwind in the evenings. [/quote]
