[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s due to high school sports and other activities.  I think it’s fine.  My teens were in bed by 10 anyway.[/quote]

Google "school start times" and "mental health" or "depression." The evidence on this is just overwhelming. I'm glad your teens were fine, but we are actually dealing with a crisis in teen mental health and kids' lives are at stake, so please show a bit of concern for others. Not everyone is wired the same way.

And no matter what they do it will effect a different group of kids. Can't you grasp this?[/quote]

Assuming you are referencing athletes, how do other districts with a reverse start schedule handle this?  Just curious.

If you're referencing kids who would no longer be able to be picked up by MS/HS siblings, surely there is a way to provide low-cost subsidized aftercare to families who need it.  Heck, then you could include kids who have no older siblings and have to fend for themselves in the afternoon, or allow their parents to work fulltime.  Aftercare, relatively speaking, would be relatively low-cost compared to other programs MCPS funds.[/quote]
