Uh, no, most ES parents hate the current set up too. The average elementary student is up at first light. Those of us who work business hours need to be at our desks by 9 if not earlier. A 930 start time gets me to work closer to 10. We would LOVE to get our kids off to school earlier. It makes sense to send the kids who wake up early and need parental supervision getting out the door to school earlier than they go now. It makes sense to send the older kids, who wake up later and DON'T need help getting to school, later.[/quote]

Yes, it does make sense to do those things. There's general agreement about that. There is not general agreement about HOW to fix the problem.[/quote]

Baring a large investment in more buses, it seems like the two biggest issues are:

1) childcare- which is still an issue with the current model, it just gets masked and everyone ignores all the kids hanging around outside before school

2) sports

The first problem requires some $$, but isn’t insurmountable.  The second would require more of a culture shift and in a way may be almost harder to overcome.[/quote]

Yup. [/quote]
