[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I remember my kids getting up so early. They were pretty sleep deprived in secondary school. I think a longer school year with shorter days is the answer. [/quote] No. Summer break should be 2 months, or it’s not a break. People need the reset from the routines and the rat race grind. And some have families they need to visit, vacations they want to take without the grind of the jet lag and constant supervising of the kids to do assignments. There is so much fluff in our education system and busy work that we can cut the school hours and still be where we are academically. Kids who need more help can stay after school like they do now. Kids that are ahead can enjoy extra time off or divert it to activities. 7:30 am school start for middle school is brutal and doesn’t help kids or parents. Even with daylight savings you still get up and get out before dawn. [/quote]
