[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The late start times are horrible for elem schools. I cannot keep second graders focused for social studies starting at 3:15. They have been up since the crack of dawn because they are like that biologically, or they are at day care at 7, and come to class at 9, and they are expected to keep following directions and focusing until 4. Our school had first graders start reading class at 2:20 in the afternoon this year and wondered why test scores were down. They need to start earlier which is when they are alert and available! [/quote] I agree and my kids are night owls. Plus, on days where we have CCD (religious ed) there is no time for dinner or an unwind break. We don't do homework after school because school gets out so late. It is a terrible schedule for elementary kids. Really, the old schedule was so much better for all age groups.[/quote]
