When you do, you should also ask yourself whether policies are paying lip service to helping the most vulnerable members or whether those most in need of support are really being served. How do teens and their families compensate for lack of sleep? Who is most likely to be most harmed by unhealthy start times?

On the subject of health, also think about what populations are likely to suffer the most when younger kids come home from school at an hour that allows very little daylight time for part of the year?  If you are worried about childhood obesity, think about whether getting home at at 4:20 is really good for kids.[/quote]

Speaking of the big picture - if we had safe streets and a good public transportation system, then most kids wouldn't need a school bus to get to or from school, and then MCPS wouldn't have to arrange school start times around school buses. To say nothing of the additional benefits for children's health and family stability.[/quote]
