[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of us don’t want that.  Enforce bedtime.  Starting later means kids go to bed later so it fixes nothing. [/quote]
Some of us do want that because our kids cannot fall asleep 8 hours before they have to get up to be on a bus by 6:50, regardless of a bedtime. Bedtime just means electronics put away, lights out, kid in bed. It doesn’t mean kid is sleepy.[/quote]

If they're not sleepy they're probably not getting enough physical activity or _are_ getting too much screen time, or both.  Reduce the screens and enhance the exercise, and then see if they can get to bed. [/quote]

Stop acting like there is something wrong with kids or their parents if teenagers aren't sleepy at 9:30 or 10pm.  It is very biologically normal for them not to be, unfortunately.[/quote]

If they are getting up early they should be tired by 10-11.  It’s absurd to expect a schedule change for what. 60k or more students because you refuse to tell yours to go to bed. [/quote]
