[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven’t read all this but I have heard that one reason has to do with equity. Poor families rely on big siblings to pick up little siblings from the bus and take care of them for the afternoon. Or they work after school.

Everyone knows it’d be better for the big kids to start later than the littles. And the irritating posters who say, just enforce earlier bedtimes, clearly don’t have teens themselves yet. It’s not that simple when their brains seem to “wake up” around 9 pm and they are just getting home from sports/music etc at 7 after a full day.

I hope MCPS considers doing this![/quote]

Actually some of us DO have teens and its not an option in our home.  And, I have one kid who 1-2 days a  week doesn't get home till after 9 AM.  Its called parenting.  So, when they get their first job or a college class  is only scheduled at an earlier time, are  you going to have a fit too?[/quote]

Too bad, no one considers your person preference. Some of us DO have teens who need sleep. College is not high school, but meep trying to bring in irrelevant things to your lame argument. [/quote]

If your kids need sleep they can go to bed earlier.  [/quote]

Your kids do need sleep and teens need to sleep later. 
If you need to get to work, you can work out a schedule. [/quote]
