[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]seems like most of the posters on this topic have kids in public school where school normally starts at 7-8am.  Any one with kids in private care to chime in?  Does the extra hour of sleep and/or more time to study make a difference for  private school kids?[/quote]

What "extra hour"? My DS is in 11th grade at STA, leaves for school at 7:20 am, has sports until 5:30 pm, gets home by 6:00 pm (unless it's Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, when extracurriculars have him getting home at 8:20 pm, 7:10 pm, or 9:20 pm), eats dinner with the family (except on Tuesday or Thursday), and usually gets to sleep at 1:30 am. It's not just homework after dinner; it's also writing and editing he does for extracurriculars and writing for fellowship applications. I stopped tucking him into bed years ago.[/quote]

^ And you're lucky that you live so close!  There r some kids that have the same schedule, but add an extra hour in the front and on to the back if you're commuting via the beltway. So they're leaving home by 6.30 am, after getting to bed probably at 1 am.  [/quote]
