[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sucks for kids to wake up so early and it's unnatural. Shame on MCPS for not figuring out how to switch it. Many other school districts have done this and there are studies showing how the kids learning improved. Who is running this place? We go to an area private that starts at a healthy 9am. [/quote]

Unnatural like in the olden days when people had to rise with the sun etc oh wait that is natural.[/quote]

Sunrise this morning was at 7:27 am. If you rise at 7:27 am, you will not be on time for a school day that starts at 7:45 am, even if you live next door to the school.[/quote]

Exactly. It kills me every time I hear people refer to the old day of rising with the sun and think about exhausted teens waiting for a bus in the dark.

In addition, it's much easier to persist through lack of sleep when you perform a physical job (such as working on a farm) instead of sitting for hours straight trying to learn. [/quote]

Never change DCUM!  Your life will always be the hardest and you and your kids will always be the worst martyrs.  Hard to tell which is worse, this post complaining that child laborers in the good old days have it easy compared to your W school child, or the one in the college forum complaining that kids with rare medical conditions have a “hook”.
