[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe FCPS will wise up and start high school at 9:30 AM, like LCPS. [/quote]

Practices for sports or music could be moved to the morning before school instead of after school. [/quote]

Agree. Clubs and athletes can meet at 730am, and figure out carpool for those who need it.[/quote]

Another terrible idea.[/quote]

It’s actually not that bad if the activity doesn’t any earlier than about 7:15 or 7:30 and isn’t more than a couple times per week. But I don’t see how this would work for things that depends on contracts with outside entities or permits from the county. How can orgs be sure they will get access to fields/pools/spaces at that hour? There may be a reason those places are available in afternoons/evenings but not mornings. It’s hard enough to figure out field space for example. Having to shift the times is going to be a huge mess. [/quote]

Sports practice and play practice before school would have to take the same hours that the before school swim teams use, which means starting at 5AM.

This isn't little league or middle school running club where 1 hour suffices.

It is such a terrible idea, that Reid and Co might just jump on it.

Ruin the schedule for the [u]only[/u] groups where classes, sports, and activities matter, to make 2 years worth of middle school students potentially less irritable and sassy in the mornings.[/quote]
